Sama Veda II.6.1.5: Glorify naught besides, O friends, so shall no

1. Glorify naught besides, O friends, so shall no sorrow trouble you!
Praise only mighty Indra, when the juice is shed, and say your lauds repeatedly!

2. Even him, the swift one, like a bull who rushes down men's conqueror, bounteous like a cow;
Him who is cause of both, of enmity and peace, to both sides most munificent.
