THE SAMA VEDA<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
III Indra<br />
1. Indra, with all thy saving helps assist us, Lord of power and might!<br />
For after thee we follow even as glorious bliss, thee, hero, finder-out of wealth!<br />
2. Increaser of our steeds and multiplying kine, a golden well, G God, art thou,<br />
For no one may impair the gift laid up in thee. Bring me whatever thing I ask!<br />
IV Indra<br />
1. For thou--come to the worshipper!--wilt find great wealth to make us rich.<br />
Fill thyself full, O Maghavan, for gain of kine, full, Indra, forthe gain of steeds!<br />
2. Thou as thy gift bestowest many hundred herds, yea, many thou-sands dost thou give.<br />
With singers' hymns have we brought the fortrender near, singing to Indra for his grace.<br />
V Agni<br />
1. To him who dealeth out all wealth, the sweet-toned Hotar-priest of men,<br />
To him, like the first vessels filled with savoury juice, to Agni let the lauds go forth!<br />
2. Votaries, bounteous givers, deck him with their songs, even as the steed who draws the car.<br />
To both, strong Lord of men! to kith and kin convey the bounties of our wealthy lords!<br />
VI Varuna<br />
1. Hear this my call, O Varuna, and show thy gracious love today:<br />
Desiring help I long for thee!<br />
VII Indra<br />
1. O Hero, with what aid dost thou delight us, with what succour bring,<br />
Riches to those who worship thee?<br />
VIII Indra<br />
1. Indra, for service of the Gods, Indra while sacrifice proceeds,<br />
Indra, as worshippers, in battle-shock we call, Indra that we may win the spoil.<br />
2. With might hath Indra spread out heaven and earth, with power hath indra lighten up the Sun. In<br />
Indra are all creatures closely held; in him meet the distilling Soma-drops.<br />
IX Visvakarman<br />
1. Bring, Visvakarman strengthened by oblation, thyself, thy body-'tis thine own-for worship<br />
Let other men around us live in folly here let us have', a rich and liberal patron!<br />
X Soma Pavamana<br />
1. With this his golden splendour purifying him, he with his own allies subdues all enemies. as Sura<br />
with his own allies.<br />
