Sama Veda II.9.1.13: Here thou the call of the juice-drinking press-stone
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Here thou the call of the juice-drinking press-stone: mark thou the sage's hymn who sings and lauds thee!
Take to thine inmost self these adorations!
2. I know and ne'er forget the hymns and praises of thee, theconqueror, of thy power immortal.
Thy name I ever utter, self-refulgent!
3. Among mankind many are thy libations, and many a time the pious sage invokes thee.
O Maghavan, be not long distant from us!
