Sama Veda II.6.1.2: So when the Sun hath risen to-day may
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. So when the Sun hath risen to-day may sinless Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, and Savitar send us forth!
2. May this our home be guarded well: forward, ye bounteous, on the way, Who bear us safely o'er distress!
3. Yea, Aditi, and those great Kings whose statute is inviolate, Are sovrans of a vast domain.
