Sama Veda II.1.2.16: After his ancient splendour, they, the bold, have
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. After his ancient splendour, they, the bold, have drawn the bright milk from
The Sage who wins a thousand spoils.
2. In aspect he is like the Sun: he runneth forward to the lakes: Seven currents flowing to the sky.
3. He, while they purify him, stands high over all things that exist Soma, a God as Surya is.
