Sama Veda II.6.3.7: Protect us, Indra, each to-day, each to morrow
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Protect us, Indra, each to-day, each to morrow, and each following day!
Through all the days shalt thou, Lord of the brave, preserve our singers both by day and night!
2. A crushing warrior, passing rich, is Maghavan, endowed with all heroic strength.
Thine arms, O Satakratu, are exceeding strong, those arms,
which grasp the thunderbolt.
