Sama Veda II.6.3.16: Pour on the juice the heated milk which
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Pour on the juice the heated milk which hasteneth to heaven and. earth;
Bestow the liquid on the Bull!
2. These know their own abiding-place: like calves beside themother cows,
They come together with their kin.
3. Devouring in their greedy jaws, they make sustaining food irb heaven,
For Indra, Agni, homage, light.
