Sama Veda II.6.3.12: They who stand round him as he moves
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. They who stand round him as he moves harness the bright, the ruddy steed:
The lights shining in the sky.
2. On both sides to the car they yoke the two bay coursers dear to him,
Brown, bold, who bear the hero on.
3. Thou, making light where no light was, and form, O men where form was not,
Wast born together with the Dawns.
