Atharva Veda 20.76.4: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 8, Sukta 76, Mantra 4
Sukta 76
कदु॑ द्यु॒म्नमि॑न्द्र॒ त्वाव॑तो॒ नॄन् कया॑ धि॒या क॑रसे॒ कन्न॒ आग॑न्। मि॒त्रो न स॒त्य उ॑रुगाय भृ॒त्या अन्ने॑ समस्य॒ यदस॑न् मनी॒षाः
kadā́ dyumnám indra tvā́vato nṝ́n káyā dhiyā́ karase kán nú ā́gan | mitró na satyá urugāya bhṛtyā́ ánne samásya yád ásan manīṣā́ḥ ||
When wilt thou make the glory of men who have thee, O Indra—by what thought, and how, have the inspirations come? Like a true friend, O wide-going, for thy dependents: when there were wise counsels in the giver’s food.
इंद्र, जब तूने उन लोगों की बड़ाई की जो तुझे पुकारते हैं। किस सोच से आया, गाना कैसे आया? सच्चा दोस्त की तरह, तेरे साथ रहने वाले लोगों के लिए। खाना देने वाले में भी अच्छा आइडिया था।
