Sama Veda II.1.2.12: When Somas flow thou makest pure, Indra, thy
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. When Somas flow thou makest pure, Indra, thy mind that merits laud,
For gain of strength that ever grows: for great is he.
2. In heaven's first region, in the seat of Gods, is he who brings success,
Most glorious, prompt to save, who wins the waterfloods.
3. Him I invoke, to win the spoil, even mighty Indra for the fray.
Be thou most near to us for bliss, a friend to aid!
