Sama Veda II.4.2.14: Stone-Darting Indra, wonderous God, what wealth thou hast
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Stone-Darting Indra, wonderous God, what wealth thou hast not given me here,
That bounty, treasure-finder! bring, filling full both thy hands, to us!
2. Bring what thou deemest worth the wish, O Indra that which is in heavem!
So may we know thee as thou art a giver boundless in thy gifts!
3. Thy lofty spirit famed in all the regions as appeasable,--
With this thou rendest even things firm, Stone-darter! so to win thee strength.
