Sama Veda II.1.1.5: Varuna, Mitra, sapient pair, pour fatness on our
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Varuna, Mitra, sapient pair, pour fatness on our pastures, pour
Meath on the regions of the air!
2. Gladdened by homage, ruling far, ye reign by majesty of might,
Pure in your ways, for evermore.
3. Lauded by Jamadagni's song, sit in the shrine of sacrifice:
Drink Soma, ye who strengthen Law!
