Sama Veda II.1.1.22: We call on thee, O matchless one. We
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. We call on thee, O matchless one. We, seeking help, possessing nothing firm ourselves.
Call on thee, wondrous, thunder-armed:
2. On thee for aid in sacrifice, This youth of ours, the bold, the terrible, bath gone forth.
We therefore, we thy friends, Indra, have chosen thee, spoil winner, as our succourer.
