Sama Veda II.9.1.10: Come, Lord of rapturous joys, to our libations
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Come, Lord of rapturous joys, to our libations with thy bay steeds, come
With bay steeds to our flowing juice!
2. Known as best Vritra-slayer erst, as Indra $atakratu, come
With bay steeds to our flowing juice!
3. For, Vritra-slayer, thou art he who drinks these drops of Soma come
With bay steeds to our flowing juice!
