Sama Veda II.6.1.3: Let Soma juices make thee glad! Display thy
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Let Soma juices make thee glad! Display thy bounty, Thunderer:
Drive off the enemies of prayer!
2. Crush with thy foot the niggard churls who bring no gifts! mighty art thou:
There is not one to equal thee.
3. Thou art the Lord of Somas pressed, Somas unpressed are also thine:
Thou art the Sovran of the folk.
