Sama Veda II.6.2.13: Thee have we chosen, skilfullest in sacrifice, immortal
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Thee have we chosen, skilfullest in sacrifice, immortal, Priest, among the Gods,
Best finisher of this holy rite:
2. The Waters' Child, the blessed brightly-shining one, Agni whose, light is excellent.
May he by sacrifice win us in heaven the grace of Mitra, Varuna, and the Floods!
