Sama Veda II.5.1.8: Flow onward with that stream wherewith thou gavest
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Flow onward with that stream wherewith thou gavest splendour to the sun,
Speeding the waters kind to man!
2. He, Pavamana, high o'er man, yoked the Sun's courser Etasa,
To travel through the realm of air.
3. Yea, those bay steeds he harnessed to the chariot that the Sun might come:
Indu, he said, is Indra's self.
