Sama Veda II.9.2.2: Agni, he conquers by thine aid that brings
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni, he conquers by thine aid that brings him store of valiant sons and does great deeds,
Whose bond of friendship is thy choice.
2. Thy spark is black and crackling; kindled in due time, O bounteous, it is taken up.
Thou art the dear friend of the mighty Mornings: thou shinest in glimmerings of the night.
