ko adya naryo devakāma uśannindrasya sakhyaṃ jujoṣa ko vā mahe'vase pāryāya samiddhe agnau sutasoma īṭṭe
Who today of men sought the friendship desired by the gods for Indra? Who indeed in great need offered the portion near the fire, bestowing soma and the poured offerings?

को ना॑नाम॒ वच॑सा सो॒म्याय॑ मना॒युर्वा॑ भवति॒ वस्त॑ उ॒स्राः । क इन्द्र॑स्य॒ युज्यं॒ कः स॑खि॒त्वं को भ्रा॒त्रं व॑ष्टि क॒वये॒ क ऊ॒ती
ko nānāma vacasā somyāya manāyurvā bhavati vasta usrāḥ ka indrasya yujyaṃ kaḥ sakhitvaṃ ko bhrātraṃ vaṣṭi kavaye ka ūtī
Who is not subject to speech, to Soma, to mind or to life? What are the streams of wealth? Who is Indra’s worthy one, who a companion, who a brother? Who dwells in good poets, who in the high seat?

को दे॒वाना॒मवो॑ अ॒द्या वृ॑णीते॒ क आ॑दि॒त्याँ अदि॑तिं॒ ज्योति॑रीट्टे । कस्या॒श्विना॒विन्द्रो॑ अ॒ग्निः सु॒तस्यां॒शोः पि॑बन्ति॒ मन॒सावि॑वेनम्
ko devānāmavo adyā vṛṇīte ka ādityām̐ aditiṃ jyotirīṭṭe kasyāśvināvindro agniḥ sutasyāṃśoḥ pibanti manasāvivenam
Who today chooses the gods’ estate? Who first kindled the Aditya, the radiant Aditi? In whose steeds, in Indra, in Agni, do they drink the share of the progeny, with minds like rivers?

Rigveda · Chapter Mandala 4, Sukta 25 · Verse 4.25.4
तस्मा॑ अ॒ग्निर्भार॑तः॒ शर्म॑ यंस॒ज्ज्योक्प॑श्या॒त्सूर्य॑मु॒च्चर॑न्तम् । य इन्द्रा॑य सु॒नवा॒मेत्याह॒ नरे॒ नर्या॑य॒ नृत॑माय नृ॒णाम्
tasmā agnirbhārataḥ śarma yaṃsajjyokpaśyātsūryamuccarantam ya indrāya sunavāmetyāha nare naryāya nṛtamāya nṛṇām
Therefore Agni, O Bharata, made radiance as his ornament; he who, looking forth, proclaimed the sun. He who came as Indra’s son said: “Not man to man, but righteousness for men.”

Rigveda · Chapter Mandala 4, Sukta 25 · Verse 4.25.5
न तं जि॑नन्ति ब॒हवो॒ न द॒भ्रा उ॒र्व॑स्मा॒ अदि॑तिः॒ शर्म॑ यंसत् । प्रि॒यः सु॒कृत्प्रि॒य इन्द्रे॑ मना॒युः प्रि॒यः सु॑प्रा॒वीः प्रि॒यो अ॑स्य सो॒मी
na taṃ jinanti bahavo na dabhrā urvasmā aditiḥ śarma yaṃsat priyaḥ sukṛtpriya indre manāyuḥ priyaḥ suprāvīḥ priyo asya somī
Many do not conquer him; Aditi does not cherish that ornament from the early days. Beloved is the well-done, beloved is Indra’s mind; beloved are the excellent ones, and beloved is his Soma.
Rigveda 4.025.06
Rigveda · Chapter Mandala 4, Sukta 25 · Verse 4.25.6
सु॒प्रा॒व्यः॑ प्राशु॒षाळे॒ष वी॒रः सुष्वेः॑ प॒क्तिं कृ॑णुते॒ केव॒लेन्द्रः॑ । नासु॑ष्वेरा॒पिर्न सखा॒ न जा॒मिर्दु॑ष्प्रा॒व्यो॑ऽवह॒न्तेदवा॑चः
suprāvyaḥ prāśuṣāḷeṣa vīraḥ suṣveḥ paktiṃ kṛṇute kevalendraḥ nāsuṣverāpirna sakhā na jāmirduṣprāvyo'vahantedavācaḥ
The well-renowned valiant fill the feast’s order in the dry seasons; Indra alone makes it excellent. Not draughts, not friends, not kin, nor the hard-to-pass words carry it away.
Rigveda 4.025.07
Rigveda · Chapter Mandala 4, Sukta 25 · Verse 4.25.7
न रे॒वता॑ प॒णिना॑ स॒ख्यमिन्द्रोऽसु॑न्वता सुत॒पाः सं गृ॑णीते । आस्य॒ वेदः॑ खि॒दति॒ हन्ति॑ न॒ग्नं वि सुष्व॑ये प॒क्तये॒ केव॑लो भूत्
na revatā paṇinā sakhyamindro'sunvatā sutapāḥ saṃ gṛṇīte āsya vedaḥ khidati hanti nagnaṃ vi suṣvaye paktaye kevalo bhūt
Not for barter are the many; Indra has joined with friends, the pious are praised. His wisdom splits the sky; it strikes not the naked: only he was for the true feast, the sole being.
Rigveda 4.025.08
Rigveda · Chapter Mandala 4, Sukta 25 · Verse 4.25.8
इन्द्रं॒ परेऽव॑रे मध्य॒मास॒ इन्द्रं॒ यान्तोऽव॑सितास॒ इन्द्र॑म् । इन्द्रं॑ क्षि॒यन्त॑ उ॒त युध्य॑माना॒ इन्द्रं॒ नरो॑ वाज॒यन्तो॑ हवन्ते
indraṃ pare'vare madhyamāsa indraṃ yānto'vasitāsa indram indraṃ kṣiyanta uta yudhyamānā indraṃ naro vājayanto havante
Indra is the supreme, the middle, and the lowest; the Indras come and settle. Indra is diminished or fighting; men worship Indra as they bring the oblation.
