Sama Veda II.1.1.6: Come, we have pressed theJuice for thee; O
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Come, we have pressed theJuice for thee; O Indra, drink this Soma here:
Sit thou on this my sacred grass!
2. O Indra, let thy long-maned bays, yoked by prayer, bring thee hitherward!
Give ear and listen to our prayers!
3. We Soma-bearing Brahmans call thee Soma-drinker with thy friend,
We, Indra, bringing Soma juice.
