Rig Veda 5.34.4: Mandala 5, Sukta 34, Mantra 4
Sukta 5.34
यस्यावधीत्पितरं यस्य मातरं यस्य शक्रो भ्रातरं नात ईषते । वेतीद्वस्य प्रयता यतंकरो न किल्बिषादीषते वस्व आकरः ॥
yásyāvadhīt pitáraṃ yásya mātáraṃ yásya śakró bhrā́taraṃ nā́ta īṣate | vétīd v asya práyatā yatáṃkaro ná kílbiṣād īṣate vásva ā́karaḥ ||
He who struck down father and mother, and before whom even a brother does not stand in resistance—he indeed knows the forward-pressed energies of this being. The one who makes the soul’s effort disciplined and yoked does not fear blame; he becomes a mine of plenitude. Thus Indra’s fierce mastery is the conversion of raw drives into ordered force.
