Sama Veda II.3.2.22: Sing ye a psalm to Indra; sing a
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Sing ye a psalm to Indra; sing a great song to the lofty Sage,
To him who maketh prayer, inspired, who loveth laud.
2. Thou, Indra, art the conqueror: thou gavest splendour to the Sun.
Maker of all things, thou art mighty and All-God.
3. Radiant with light thou wentest to the sky, the luminous realm of -heaven.
The Gods, O Indra, strove to win thy friendly love.
