Sama Veda II.6.2.16: Drink, Indra, of the savoury juice, and cheer
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Drink, Indra, of the savoury juice, and cheer thee, with our milky draught!
Be, for our weal, our friend and sharer of the feast, and let thy wisdom guard us well!
2. In thy kind grace and favour may we still be strong: cast us not down before the foe!
With manifold assistance guard and succour us, and stablish us in thy good-will!
