Sama Veda II.5.1.16: Stream on us riches that are craved by
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Stream on us riches that are craved by hundreds, best at winning spoil,
Riches, O Indu, thousandfold, most splendid, that surpass the light!
2. May we, O Vasu, be most near to this thy bounty, food, and wealth!
Desired by many men, and in thy favour, O resistless one!
3. Effused, this Indu hath flowed on, distilling rapture, to the fleece.
He streams erect to sacrifice, as 'twere with splendour, seeking kine.
