Rig Veda 2.12.5: Mandala 2, Sukta 12, Mantra 5
Sukta 2.12
यं स्मा पृच्छन्ति कुह सेति घोरमुतेमाहुर्नैषो अस्तीत्येनम् । सो अर्यः पुष्टीर्विज इवा मिनाति श्रदस्मै धत्त स जनास इन्द्रः ॥
yáṃ smā pṛcchánti kúha séti ghorám utém ā́hur náiṣó astī́ti enam | só aryáḥ púṣṭīr víja ivā́ mināti śrád asmai dhatta sá janāsa índraḥ ||
On le questionne: «Où est‑il?» — le redoutable; et l’on dit même de lui: «Il n’est pas.» Pourtant lui, l’Ārya, comme un joueur qui dépouille les gains, amoindrit les nourritures de l’adversaire. Placez en lui votre foi: lui, ô peuples, est Indra.
