Sama Veda II.1.1.13: As cows low to their calves in stalls
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. As cows low to their calves in stalls, so with our songs we glorify
This Indra, even your wondrous God who checks attack, who takes delight in precious juice.
2. Celestial, bounteous giver, girt about with might, rich, mountain-like, in pleasant things,--
Him swift we seek for foodful booty rich in kine, brought hundredfold and thousandfold.
