Translation: This hero, Indra, the prompt discomfiter (of foes), who is to be approached with homage, grants special maturity to the presenter of the libation; he is not the kinsman, nor friend, nor relative, of him who offers no libation (to him); he is difficult of access, and the punisher of him who repeats not (his) praise.
Rigveda, Mandala 4, Sukta 25, Verse 7
न रेवता पणिना सख्यमिन्द्रोऽसुन्वता सुतपाः सं गृणीते । आस्य वेदः खिदति हन्ति नग्नं वि सुष्वये पक्तये केवलो भूत् ॥
na revatā paṇinā sakhyamindro'sunvatā sutapāḥ saṃ gṛṇīte | āsya vedaḥ khidati hanti nagnaṃ vi suṣvaye paktaye kevalo bhūt ||
Translation: (Indra), the drinker of the effused Soma, contract no friendship with the wealthy trader who offers not any libation; he takes away his wealth; destroys him when destitute; but he is a special (friend) to him who presents the libation and oblation.
