Rig Veda 10.86.2: Mandala 10, Sukta 86, Mantra 2
Sukta 10.86
परा हीन्द्र धावसि वृषाकपेरति व्यथिः । नो अह प्र विन्दस्यन्यत्र सोमपीतये विश्वस्मादिन्द्र उत्तरः ॥
parā́ híndra dhā́vasi vṛṣā́kaper áti vyáthīḥ | nó áha prá vindasy anyátra sómapītaye víśvasmād índra úttaraḥ ||
Away indeed you run, O Indra, driven beyond measure by Vṛṣākapi’s disturbance. Yet you will not find elsewhere the true drinking of Soma; for Indra must rise beyond all only by the right delight, not by restless scattering.
