Sama Veda II.8.2.6: Let none, no, not thy worshippers, delay thee
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Let none, no, not thy worshippers, delay thee far away from us!
Even from far away come thou unto our feast, or listen it already here!
2. For here, like rites on honey, those who pray to thee sit by the juice that they have poured.
Wealth-craving singers have on Indra set their hope, as men set foot upon a car.
