Sama Veda II.1.2.9: So, Lord of affluent gifts, this juice hath
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. So, Lord of affluent gifts, this juice hath been expressed for thee with strength:
Drink of it, thou who lovest song!
2. Incline thy body to the juice which suits thy godlike nature well:
Thee, Soma-lover! let it cheer!
3. O Indra, let it enter both thy flanks, enter thy head with prayer,
With bounty, hero! both thine arms!
