Sama Veda II.9.2.8: Agni, is light, light is Agni, Indra is
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Agni, is light, light is Agni, Indra is light, light is Indra
Surya is light, light is Surya.
2. O Agni, turn again with strength, turn thou again with food and life:
Save us again from grief and woe!
3. O Agni, turn again with wealth sprinkle thou us from everyside.
With thine own all-supporting stream!
