Sama Veda II.1.1.15: In sweetest and most gladdening stream flow pure
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. In sweetest and most gladdening stream flow pure, O Soma, on thy way,
Pressed out for Indra, for his drink!
2. Fiend-queller, friend of all men, he hath reached his shrine, his dwelling-place.
Within the iron-hammered vat.
3. Be thou best Vritra-slaver, best granter of room, most liberal:
Promote our wealthy princes' gifts!
