Sama Veda II.3.1.9: As rain from out the cloud, for you
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. As rain from out the cloud, for you, Indra and Agni, from my thought
This noblest praise hath been produced.
2. Indra and Agni, listen to the singer's call: accept his songs.
Fulfil, ye mighty Lords, his prayers!
3. Give us not up to indigence, ye heroes, Indra, Agni, nor
To Slander and reproach of men!
