Sama Veda II.5.2.15: Indra, give us security from that whereof we
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Indra, give us security from that whereof we are afraid
Help us, O Maghavan, let thy favour aid us thus drive away foes and enemies!
2. For thou, O liberal Lord of ample bounty, art the ruler of our house and home.
So, Indra Maghavan, thou lover of the song, we with pressed Soma call on thee.
