Sama Veda II.2.2.19: O Indra, hear Tirschi's call, the call of
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Indra, hear Tirschi's call, the call of him who serveth thee.
Satisfy him with wealth of kine and valient offspring! Great art thou.
2. For he, O Indra, hath produced for thee the newest gladdening song,
A hymn that springs from careful drop thought, ancient and full of sacred truth.
3. That Indra will we laud whom songs and hymns of praise have magnified.
Striving to win, we celebrate his many deeds of hero might.
