Sama Veda II.1.2.3: This, even this, O Indra, we implore: as
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. This, even this, O Indra, we implore: as thy devoted friends,
The Kanvas praise thee with their hymns.
2. Naught else, O Thunderer, have I praised in the skilled singer's eulogy;
On thy laud only have I thought.
3. The Gods seek him who presses out the Soma; they desire not sleep:
They punish sloth unweariedly
