Rig Veda 4.25.5: Mandala 4, Sukta 25, Mantra 5
Sukta 4.25
न तं जिनन्ति बहवो न दभ्रा उर्वस्मा अदितिः शर्म यंसत् । प्रियः सुकृत्प्रिय इन्द्रे मनायुः प्रियः सुप्रावीः प्रियो अस्य सोमी ॥
ná táṃ jinanti bahávo ná dabh्रā urv ásmā áditiḥ śárma yaṃsat | priyáḥ su-kṛ́t priyá índre manāyúḥ priyáḥ supra-avī́ḥ priyó asya somī́ ||
Many cannot overcome him, nor the few; for Aditi grants him a wide peace. Dear is he—doer of the good; dear to Indra in his thought-and-impulse; dear as one of strong protections; dear to him is the Soma-bearer.
