Sama Veda II.7.1.5: I from my Father have obtained deep knowledge
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. I from my Father have obtained deep knowledge of eternal Law;
I was born like unto the Sun.
2. After the ancient manner I, like Kanva, beautify my songs,
And Indra's self gains power thereby.
3. Whatever gishis have not praised thee, Indra, or have praised thee, wax
Mighty indeed when praised by me!
