Sama Veda II.7.3.14: To both of you, O Heaven and Earth
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. To both of you, O Heaven and Earth, we bring our lofty song of praise,
Pure pair! to glorify you both.
2. Ye sanctify each other's form by your own proper strength ye rule:
Further the sacrifice evermore!
3. Promoting and fulfilling, ye, mighty ones, perfect Mitra's law:
Ye sit around our sacrifice.
