Sama Veda II.6.3.15: Immortal, Hotar-priest, and God, with wondrous power heleads
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Immortal, Hotar-priest, and God, with wondrous power heleads the way,
Urging the congregations on.
2. Strong, he is set on deeds of strength. He is led forth in holy rites,
Sage who completes the sacrifice.
3. Excellent, he was made by thought. The germ of beings have gained.
Yea, and the Sire of active power.
