Sama Veda II.4.2.6: Glorify him who compasses all forests with his
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Glorify him who compasses all forests with his glowing Dame,
And leaves them blackened by his tongue.
2. He who gains Indra's grace by fire enkindled, finds as easy way
Over the floods to splendid wealth.
3. Give us, ye twain, swift steeds to bring Indra and Agni, and bestow
Abundant food with wealth on us.
