Sama Veda II.5.1.19: Come unto us, O Indra, dear, still conquering
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Come unto us, O Indra, dear, still conquering, unconcealable
Wide as a mountain spread on all sides, Lord of heaven.
2. O truthful Soma-drinker, thou art mightier than both the worlds.
Thou strengthenest him who pours'libation, Lord of heaven.
3. For thou art he, O Indra, who upholdeth all our fortresses,
The Dasyu's slayer, man's sustainer, Lord of heaven.
