Atharva Veda 20.51.4: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 51, Mantra 4
Sukta 51
श॒तानी॑का हे॒तयो॑ अस्य दु॒ष्टरा॒ इन्द्र॑स्य स॒मिषो॑ म॒हीः । गि॒रिर्न भु॒ज्मा म॒घव॑त्सु पिन्वते॒ यदीं॑ सु॒ता अम॑न्दिषुः
śatānī́kā hetáyo asya duṣṭárā índrasya samī́ṣo mahī́ḥ | girír na bhujmā́ maghávatsu pinvate yád īṃ sutā́ amándiṣuḥ
Hundredfold are his missiles, hard to be withstood—Indra’s great impellings unto might. Like a compact mountain he swells among the liberal, when the pressed draughts have made him glad.
इंद्र के पास सौ से ज़्यादा बान हैं, कोई उनको रोक नहीं सकता। जब वो खुश होता है तो पहाड़ की तरह बढ़ जाता है। जो लोग उसको पूजा के साथ बुलाते हैं, उनके लिए वो बहुत देता है।
