Sama Veda II.6.2.6: Press ye and pour him, like a steed
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Press ye and pour him, like a steed, laud-worthy, speeding through the region and the flood,
Who swims in water, dwells in wood
2. The Steer with thousand streams who poureth out the rain, dear to the race of deities;
Who, born in Law, hath waxen mighty by the Law, King, God, and lofty ordinance.
