Sama Veda II.8.1.10: Thou speedest down to succour us this-ever-conquering God
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Thou speedest down to succour us this-ever-conquering God of yours,
Him who is drawn to all our songs;
2. The warrior whom none may wound, the Soma-drinker ne'er o'erthrown,
The chieftain of resistless might.
3. O Indra, send us riches, thou omniscient, worthy of our hymns:
Help us in the decisive fray!
