Sama Veda II.4.2.9: Sit down, O friends, and sing aloud to
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Sit down, O friends, and sing aloud to him who purifies himself:
Deck him for glory, like a child, with holy rites
2. Loose him who bringeth household wealth, even as a calf with. mother kine,
Him who bath double strength, strong, god-delighting juice!
3. Purify him who gives us power, most blissful one, that he may be
A banquet for the troop, Mitra, and Varuna!
