Sama Veda II.5.2.11: Of gold-hued Pavamana, great destroyer, radiant streams have
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Of gold-hued Pavamana, great destroyer, radiant streams have flowed,
Swift streams of him whose gleams are swift.
2. Best rider of the chariot, praised with fairest praise 'mid beauteous ones,
Gold gleaming with the Marut host,
3. Penetrate, Pavamana, best at winning booty, with thy rays,
Giving the Singer hero strength!
