Sama Veda II.5.2.17: In might, O Indu, with thy streams flow
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. In might, O Indu, with thy streams flow for the banquet of the Gods:
Rich in meath, Soma, in our beaker take thy seat!
2. Thy drops that swim in water have exalted Indra to delight
The Gods have drunk thee up for immortality.
3. Stream opulence to us, ye drops of Soma, pressed and purified
Pouring down rain from heaven in floods, and finding light!
