Sama Veda II.5.1.14: Both boons,-may, Indra, hitherward turned, listen to this
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Both boons,-may, Indra, hitherward turned, listen to this prayer of ours.
And mightiest Maghavan with thought inclined to us come near to drink to Soma juice!
2. For him, strong, independent ruler, Heaven and Earth have fashioned forth with power and might.
Thou seatest thee as first among thy peers in place, for thy soul longs for Soma juice.
