Sama Veda II.6.2.2: Harness, O Agni, O thou God, thy steeds
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Harness, O Agni, O thou God, thy steeds which are most excellent!
The fleet ones bring the rapidly.
2. Come hither, bring the Gods to us to taste the sacrificial feast,
To drink the draught of Soma juice!
3. O Agni of the Bharatas, flame splendid with unfading might
Shine forth and gleam, eternal one!
