Sama Veda II.6.3.11: So help ye us to riches, great celestial
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. So help ye us to riches, great celestial and terrestrial wealth
Vast is your sway among the Gods!
2. Carefully tending Law with law they have attained their vigorous might:
Both Gods, devoid of guile, wax strong.
3. With rainy skies and streaming floods, Lords of the food that falls in dew,
A lofty seat have they attained.
