Sama Veda II.9.1.12: If I, O Indra, were the lord of
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. If I, O Indra, were the lord of riches ample as thine own,
I would support the singer, God who scatterest wealth! and, not abandon him to woe.
2. Each day would I enrich the man who sang my praise, in whatsoever place he were.
No kinship is there better, Maghavan, than thine: a father even, is no more.
