Samveda (Acharya Dharmadev Vidya Martand) - English
Translation
O God, Thou feedest Thy devotees as thousands of pools of water feed deep ocean, as a cowherd feeds his cows, and as the cows lick up the grass, and as streams flow into the lake; Thy worshippers attain Thee and enjoy peace and bliss.
Comment
Rev. Stevenson has translated the last stanza as “do the streams of liquor into Thee. " It is absurd on his part to mention liquor when as a matter of fact there is not a single word denoting that. It is sheer prejudice notion or pre-conceived wrong which can not be condemned too strongly. Griffith has translated some what better as follows: 'Like pools of water deep and full, like Kine thou cherishest Thy might. Like the milch cows that go well guarded to the mead, like water brooks that reach the lake”.
