Sama Veda II.9.1.3: Even as a car to give us aid
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Even as a car to give us aid, we draw thee nigh to favour us,
Strong in thy deeds, quelling attack, Indra, Lord, mightiest! of the brave.
2. Great in thou power and wisdom, strong, with thought that comprehendeth all!
Wide hast thou spread in majesty.
3. Thou very mighty one, whose hands by virtue of thy greatness wield
The golden bolt that beaks its way!
