Atharva Veda 20.114.1: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 12, Sukta 114, Mantra 1
Sukta 114
अ॒भ्रा॒तृ॒व्यो अ॒ना त्वमना॑पिरिन्द्र ज॒नुषा॑ स॒नाद॑सि । यु॒धेदा॑पि॒त्वमि॑च्छसे
a-bhrā́tr̥vyo anā́ tvám an-ā́piḥ índra jánuṣā sanā́d asi | yudhéd íd ā́pitvam ícchase
Rival-less, unattached—without close alliance—O Indra, by birth thou art so from of old; yet in battle, indeed, thou seekest comradeship.
हे इंद्र, तुम्हारा कोई बराबर नहीं है। तुम किसी के साथ पक्का रिश्ता नहीं रखते। जनम से ही तुम ऐसे हो, बहुत पुराने टाइम से। लेकिन जब युद्ध होता है, तब तुम साथ चाहिए। तुम भी लड़ने के लिए दोस्त ढूंढते हो।
