Sama Veda II.2.1.20: All sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. All sacred songs have magnified Indra expansive as the sea.
Best of all warriors borne on cars, the Lord of heroes, Lord of strength.
2. Lord of might, Indra, may we ne'er, strong in thy friendship, be afraid!
We glorify with praises thee, the never conquered conqueror.
3. The gifts of Indra from of old, his saving succours never fail,
When to his worshippers he gives the boon of booty rich in kine.
