Sama Veda II.7.3.18: May these my songs of praise exalt thee
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. May these my songs of praise exalt thee, Lord, who hast abundant wealth!
Men skilled in holy hymns, pure, with the hues of fire, have
sung them with their lauds to thee.
2. He, when a thousand Rishis have enhanced his might, hath like an ocean spread himself.
His majesty is praised as true at solemn rites, his power where holy singers rule.
