Sama Veda II.6.1.6: These songs of our exceeding sweet, these hymns
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. These songs of our exceeding sweet, these hymns of praise ascend to thee,
Like ever-conquering chariots that display their strength, gain wealth and give unfailing help.
2. The Bhrigus are like suns, like Kanvas, and have gained each thing whereon their thought was bent.
The living men of Priyamedha's race have sun g exalting Indra with their lauds.
