Sama Veda II.8.2.9: Indra whose wealth is in thyself, what mortal
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Indra whose wealth is in thyself, what mortal will attack this man?
The strong will win the spoil on the decisive day through faith in thee, O Maghavan!
2. In battles with the foe urge on our mighty ones who give the treasures dear to thee
And may we with our princes, Lord of tawny steeds! pass through all peril, led by thee!
