Sama Veda II.6.2.14: Lord of all food is he, the man
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Lord of all food is he, the man whom thou protectest in the fight,
Agni, and urgest to the fray.
2. Him, whosoever he may be, no one may vanquish, mighty one!
Nay, very glorious wealth is his.
3. May he who dwells with all mankind conquer in fight with steeds of war,
With sages may he win the spoil.
