Sama Veda II.5.2.16: Thou, Soma, hast a running stream, sweet-toned most
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Thou, Soma, hast a running stream, sweet-toned most strong at sacrifice:
Flow bounteously bestowing wealth
2. Thou most delightful, when effused, running, the best of gladdeners, art
Indu, still conquering, ne'er subdued.
3. Do thou, poured forth by pressing- stones, flow hither uttering a roar,
And bring us brightly-glorious strength!
