Sama Veda II.2.1.10: To Indra and to Agni we bring reverence
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. To Indra and to Agni we bring reverence high and holy hymn,
And, craving help, soft words with prayer.
2. For all these holy singers thus implore these twain to succour them,
And priests that they may win them strength.
3. Eager to laud you, we with songs invoke you, bearing sacred food,
Fain for success in sacrifice.
