Sama Veda II.3.1.11: O Soma, Indu, every day thy friendship hath
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Soma, Indu, every day thy friendship hath been my delight.
Many fiends follow me; help me, thou tawny-hued: pass on beyond these barriers!
2. Close to thy bosom am I. Soma, day and night draining the milk, O golden hued.
Surya himself refulgent with his glow have we, as birds, o'ertaken in his course.
