Sama Veda II.1.2.11: In every need, in every fray we call
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. In every need, in every fray we call, as friends to succour us,
Indra, the mightiest of all.
2. I call him, mighty to resist, the hero of our ancient home,
Thee whom my sire invoked of old.
3. If he will hear us, let him come with succour of a thousand kinds,
With strength and riches, to our call!
