The Hymns of the Samaveda is a comprehensive book by Ralph T.H. Griffith that explores the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Samaveda. The Samaveda is one of the four Vedas, which are considered to be the most important and sacred texts of Hinduism. This book contains a translation of the hymns of the Samaveda, along with an introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the text. The hymns themselves are a collection of songs and chants that were used in Vedic rituals and ceremonies. They are considered to be some of the oldest and most important religious texts in the world, and are still used today in Hindu worship. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Hinduism, as well as for anyone interested in learning more about this ancient and complex religion.1.

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.

I tsS anhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of theS oma plant clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities. The Collection is made up of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, taken mainly from the Rigveda, transposed and re-arranged, without reference to their original order, to suit the religious ceremonies in which they were to be employed. In these compiled hymns there are frequent variations, of more or less importance, from the text of the Rigveda as we now possess it, which variations, although in some cases they are apparently explanatory, seem in others to be older and more original than the readings of the Rigveda. In singing, the verses are still further altered by prolongation, repetition and insertion of syllables, and various modulations, rests, and other modifications prescribed, for the guidance of the officiating priests, in the Ganas orS ong-books.
