Sama Veda II.8.2.7: Sung is the song of ancient time: to
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Sung is the song of ancient time: to Indra have ye said the prayer.
They have sung many a Brihati of sacrifice, poured forth the worshipper's many thoughts.
2. Indra hath tossed together mighty stores of wealth, and both the worlds, yea, and the sun.
Pure, brightly-shining, mingled with the milk, the draughts of Soma have made Indra glad.
