Sama Veda II.3.2.8: Even far and wide, O Varuna and Mitra
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Even far and wide, O Varuna and Mitra, doth your help extend:
May I obtain your kind good-will!
2. True Gods, may we completely gain food and a dwelling place from you:
Ye Mitras, may we be your own!
3. Guard us, ye Mitras, with your guards, save us, ye skilled to save: may we
Subdue the Dasyus by ourselves!
