Sama Veda II.8.3.4: Thou as a God. O mightiest, verily blessest
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Thou as a God. O mightiest, verily blessest mortal man.
O Maghavan, there is no comforter but thou: Indra, I speak my words to thee.
2. Let not thy bounteous gifts, let not thy saving help all fail us good Lord, at any time!
And measure out to us, thou lover of man-kind, all riches hitherward from men
