Sama Veda II.9.1.6: Immortal Jatavedas, thou bright-hued refulgent gift of Dawn
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Immortal Jatavedas, thou bright-hued refulgent gift of Dawn.
Agni, this day to him who pays oblations bring the Gods who waken with the morn!
2. For thou art offering-bearer, well-loved messenger, and charioteer of holy rites.
Accordant with the Asvins and with Dawn grant us heroic strength and lofty fame!
