Sama Veda II.8.2.4: Sing this, beside the flowing juice, to him
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Sing this, beside the flowing juice, to him, your hero, much invoked,
To please him as a mighty Bull!
2. He, excellent, withholdeth not his bounteous gift of wealth in kine.
When lie bath listened to our songs.
3. May he with might unclose for us the cow's stall, whosesoe'er it be,
To which the Dasyu-slayer goes!
