Sama Veda II.1.1.9: Cleansing thee, Soma, in thy stream, thou flowest
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Cleansing thee, Soma, in thy stream, thou flowest in watery robe.
Giver of wealth, thou sittest in the place of Law, O God, a fountain made of gold.
2. He, milking for dear meath the heavenly udder, hath sat in the ancient gathering-place.
Washed by the men, far-sighted, strong, thou streamest to ther honourable reservoir.
