Sama Veda II.6.1.7: Run forth to battle conquering the Vritras! thou
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Run forth to battle conquering the Vritras! thou Speedest to quell the foe like one exacting debts.
2. Thou Pavamana, didst beget the Sun with might, and rain in the supporting sky,
Hasting to us with plenty vivified with milk.
3. For, Soma, we rejoice ourselves in thee effused for great supremacy in fight;
Thou, Pavamana, enterest into mighty deeds.
