Sama Veda II.5.2.14: Turning as 'twere to meet the Sun, enjoy
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Turning as 'twere to meet the Sun, enjoy from Indra all good things!
When he who will be born is born with power we look to treasures as our heritage.
2. Praise him who sends us wealth, prompt with his liberal boons Good 4re the gifts that Indra gives.
He is not wroth with one who satisfies his wish: he instigates, his mind to give.
