Mantra 2
Sukta 114
नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं समूहस्यादित् पितेव हूयसे
nakí révantaṁ sakhyā́ya vindase píyanti te surā́śvaḥ | yadā́ kṛṇóṣi nadanúṁ samū́hasy ā́dit pitā́va hū́yase
No man at all wins thee, the wealthy one, for fellowship: thy good-steeded followers drink their draught. When thou makest the roaring onset, when thou musterest them together, then verily, like a father, thou art called upon.
