अभ्रातृव्योऽअना त्वम् अनापिर् इन्द्र जनुषा सनाद् असि । युधेद् आपित्वम् इछसे
abhrātṛvyo'anā tvam anāpir indra januṣā sanād asi | yudhed āpitvam ichase
Without a rival, without a companion(?), without a kinsman you are, Indra, by birth, from of old; only through battle do you seek kinship.

O Indra, from all ancient time rivalless ever and companionless art thou: In war thou seekest comradeship.

AV 20 114.2
नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं सम् ऊहस्य् आद् इत् पितेव हूयसे
nakī revantaṃ sakhyāya vindase pīyanti te surāśvaḥ | yadā kṛṇoṣi nadanuṃ sam ūhasy ād it piteva hūyase
You do not find the rich man for friendship: your liquor-drunk ones revile you. But when you make the roar, you gather (them) in, and then you are called upon like a father.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Thou findest not the wealthy man to be thy friend: those scorn thee who are flown with wine. What time thou thunderest and gatherest, then thou, even as a father, art invoked.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
