Sama Veda II.6.3.13: For thee this Soma is effused. O Indra
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. For thee this Soma is effused. O Indra: drink of this j uice; for thee the stream is flowing--
Soma, which thou thyself hast made and chosen, even Indu for thy special drink to cheer thee!
2. Like a capacious car hath it been harnessed, the mighty, to acquire abundant treasures.
Then in the sacrifice they shouted lauding all triumphs won by Nahus in the battle.
3. Flow onward like the potent band of Maruts, like that celestial host which none revileth!
Quickly be gracious unto us like waters, like sacrifice victorious, thousand-fashioned!
