Sama Veda II.5.1.7: Chasing our foemen, driving off the godless, Soma
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Chasing our foemen, driving off the godless, Soma floweth on,
Going to Indra's settled place.
2. O Pavamana, hither bring great riches, and destroy our foes:
O Indu, grant heroic fame!
3. A hundred obstacles have ne'er checked thee when rain to give thy boons,
When, being cleansed, thou combatest.
