Sama Veda II.7.2.7: Let our songs come anear to him beauteous
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Let our songs come anear to him beauteous and bright with piercing flame,
Our sacrifices with our homage unto him much-lauded, very rich, for help:
2. To Agni Jatavedas, to the Son of Strength, that he may give us precious gifts,
3. Immortal, from of old Priest among mortal men, whose tones are sweetest in the house!
