Sama Veda — Uttarārcika, Mantra 3
Aindra vīrya-stuti: Indra’s Soma-born exhilaration and fortress-breaking power, with allied invitations to the Aśvins for timely draughts
य उग्रः सन्ननिष्टृतः स्थिरो रणाय संस्कृतः यदि स्तोतुर्मघवा शृणवद्धवं नेन्द्रो योषत्या गमत्
ya ugraḥ sannaniṣṭṛtaḥ sthiro raṇāya saṃskṛtaḥ yadi stoturmaghavā śṛṇavaddhavaṃ nendro yoṣatyā gamat

He who, being fierce, is unrepelled, firm, and prepared for conflict—if the bounteous (Indra) hear the invocation of the praiser, then may Indra come with willing favour.
