Sama Veda II.6.1.11: This spotted Bull hath come and sat before
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. This spotted Bull hath come and sat before the mother in the east,
Advancing to his father heaven.
2. As expiration from his breath, his radiance penetrates within
The Bull shines out through all the sky.
3. Song is bestowed upon the Bird: it reigns supreme through thirty realms.
Throughout the days at break of morn.
