Sama Veda II.8.2.14: Indra and Agni, in your deeds of might
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Indra and Agni, in your deeds of might ye deck heaven's lucid realms:
Famed is that hero strength of yours.
2. To Indra and to Agni prayers go forward from the holy task.
Along the path of sacred Law.
3. Indra and Agni, powers are yours, yours are oblations and abodes:
Good is your zealous energy.
