Sama Veda II.1.1.10: Run onward to the reservoir and seat thee
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Run onward to the reservoir and seat thee: cleansed by the men speed forward to the battle.
Making thee glossy like an able courser, forth to the sacred grass with reins they lead thee.
2. Indu, the well-armed God is flowing onward, he who averts the curse and guards the homesteads.
Father, begetter of the Gods, most skilful, the buttress of the heavens and earth's supporter.
