Sama Veda II.1.1.16: For Indra flow, thou Soma, on, as most
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. For Indra flow, thou Soma, on, as most inspiring drink, most rich in sweets,
Great, most Celestial, gladdening drink!
2. Thou of whom having drunk the Steer acts like a steer: having drunk this that finds the light,
He, excellently wise, hath come anear to food and booty, even as Etasa.
