Sama Veda II.7.2.11: Exerting all our strength with thoughts of power
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Exerting all our strength with thoughts of power we glorify in speech,
Agni, your dear familiar friend, the darling guest of every house:
2. Whom, served with sacrificial oil, like Mitra, men presenting gifts,
Glorify with their songs of praise
3. Much-lauded Jatavedas, him who sends oblations up to heaven,
Prepared in service of the Gods.
