Sama Veda II.8.2.13: Here, verily, yesterday we let the Thunder-wielder drink
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Here, verily, yesterday we let the Thunder-wielder drink his fill.
Bring him the juice poured forth in sacrifice to-day! Now range you by the glorious one!
2. Even the wolf, the savage beast that rends the sheep, follows the path of his decrees.
So graciously accepting, Indra, this our praise, with wondrous thought come forth to us!
