Sama Veda II.8.3.7: O Dawn who hast a store of wealth
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Dawn who hast a store of wealth, bring unto us that splendid gift
Wherewith we may support children and children's sons
2. Thou radiant Lady of sweet strains, with wealth of horses and of kine
Shine thou on us this day, O Dawn, auspiciously
3. O Dawn who hast a store of wealth, yoke red steeds to thy car to-day.
Then bring us all delight and all felicities
