Sama Veda II.8.1.2: For you from every side we call Indra
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. For you from every side we call Indra away from other men
Ours, and none others, may he be!
2. Unclose, our manly hero! thou for ever bounteous, yonder cloud
For us, thou irresistible
3. As the strong bull leads on the herds, he stirs the people with his might,
The ruler irresistible.
