In threefold herds the great bull, with barley on his head, drank Soma softened by you; Vishnu begot a son as ordained. He said to me: perform great deeds; equip the army, and the god will be with the true Indra.

So be it. Hearken, ancient one: we make Agni the mind, place the divine half of intelligence; we choose Indra and Vāyu. What belongs to Kris?ṇa (Vivasvat)’s navel you have newly joined. Indeed the intellects of the gods go upward; they do not go downward.

This radiant golden splendour purifies all enmities; it crosses them with joined pairs — not by single pairs. The stream gleams on the back; the golden Hari shines anew. All forms will be surrounded and removed by twinfold (forces) and by sevens of such pairs.

I approach and adore the god Savitar and Ramaṇya; poet-made worship I offer to the true assembly, to the jewel-abode, to the beloved mind uplifted — whose splendour is as radiant as a festival, whose hands are golden; Sukratu’s grace is near.

I consider Agni the hotar, the dāsvant (servant) son of Vasus, born with Sahas/Jātavedas; not the Brahmin Jātavedas. He who by uplift is the ritual-priest, the god among gods, be gracious. The ghee of sacrifice spreads radiance; auspicious Shukra lamented the summons and the oblation-snake.

Samaveda (Kauthuma Samhita) · Chapter Purvarcika · Verse 466
तव त्यन्नर्यं नृतोऽप इन्द्र प्रथमं पूर्व्यं दिवि प्रवाच्ह्यं कृतम । यो देवस्य शवसा प्रारिणा असु रिणन्नपः । भुवो विश्वमभ्यदेवमोजसा विदेदूर्जं शतक्रतुर्विदेदिषम

Your non-Aryan (foreign) portion, the first and former song, was proclaimed in heaven; he who by the god’s oblation set forth the hymn brought life, the waters loaned. The world, strengthened by vigour, gave mighty force — may the hundred-slayer know this commander.
