RV 4 25.6

सुप्राव्यः प्राशुषाऴ् एष वीरः सुष्वेः पक्तिꣳ कृणुते केवलेन्द्रः । नासुष्वेर् आपिर् न सखा न जामिर् दुष्प्राव्यो ऽवहन्तेद् अवाचः

Helping well, prevailing in advance, this hero Indra makes the presser's cooked offering his own alone. Of the non-presser he is neither kinsman nor comrade nor relative; he strikes down the ill-helping, the speechless ones.

RV 4 25.7

न रेवता पणिना सख्यम् इन्द्रो ऽसुन्वता सुतपाः सꣳ गृणीते । आस्य वेदः खिदति हन्ति नग्नꣳ वि सुष्वये पक्तये केवलो भूत्

na revatā paṇinā sakhyam indro 'sunvatā sutapāḥ saṁ gṛṇīte | āsya vedaḥ khidati hanti nagnaṁ vi suṣvaye paktaye kevalo bhūt

With the rich niggard who does not press, Indra the soma-drinker does not conclude friendship. He tears away his wealth, slays him stripped bare; he belongs alone to the one who presses and cooks (the offering).

indram pare 'vare madhyamāsa indraṁ yānto 'vasitāsa indram | indraṁ kṣiyanta uta yudhyamānā indraṁ naro vājayanto havante

Indra the farthest, the nearest, the middling ones (call); Indra those on the move, those who have halted; Indra those dwelling at rest and those doing battle; Indra the men call as they strive for the prize.
