Sama Veda II.2.2.8: I call the twain whose deed wrought here
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. I call the twain whose deed wrought here hath all been famed in ancient time:
Indra and Agni harm us not!
2. The strong, the scatterers of the foe, Indra and Agni we invoke:
May they be kind to one like me:
3. Ye slay our Arya foes, O Lords of heroes, slay our Dasa foes:
Ye drive all enemies away.
