Synopsis

The Hymns of the Samaveda is a book written by Ralph T.H. Griffith, which contains a collection of hymns from the Samaveda, one of the four Vedas of Hinduism. The Samaveda is known for its musical and melodic qualities, and the hymns in this book are arranged according to their musical structures. The book includes translations of the original Sanskrit texts, as well as detailed notes and commentary on the meaning and significance of each hymn. The hymns cover a wide range of topics, including praise of the gods, creation myths, and philosophical concepts. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Hinduism, as well as for anyone interested in the religious and cultural traditions of India.1. Hither, for powerful kinship, I call Agni, him who prospers you, Most frequent at our solemn rites. 2. May Agni with his pointed blaze cast down each fierce devouring fiend: May Agni win us wealth by war! 3. Agni, be gracious; thou art great: thou hast approached the pious man, Hast come to sit on sacred grass.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
