Sama Veda II.6.2.12: O Indra, thou art far-renowned, impetuous Lord of
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Indra, thou art far-renowned, impetuous Lord of power and might.
Alone, the never-conquered guardian of mankind, thou smitest down resistless foes.
2. As such we seek thee now, O Asura, the most wise, craving thy bounty as our share
Thy sheltering defence is like an ample cloak. So may thy favours reach to us.
