Hardcover. Condition: New. Hymns of the Samaveda, translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith, brings to life the sacred chants and melodies of one of the four Vedas, central to ancient Indian spiritual traditions.

These hymns were designed for ritualistic purposes, particularly during the soma sacrifices, where precise intonation and rhythm were believed to invoke divine energies.
