Sama Veda II.5.1.6: Flow onward, Indu, with this food for him
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Flow onward, Indu, with this food for him who in thy wild delights,
Battered the nine-and-ninety down.
2. Smote swiftly forts, and Sambara, then Yadu and that Turvasa,
For pious Divodasa's sake!
3. Finder of horses, pour on us horses and wealth in kine and gold,
And Indu, food in boundless store!
