SV 2 6204.1

अभ्रातृव्यो अना त्वमनापिरिन्द्र जनुषा सनादसि । युधेदापित्वमिच्छसे

abhrātṛvyo anā tvamanāpirindra januṣā sanādasi | yudhedāpitvamicchase

Without a rival, indeed, are you, Indra, without a kinsman by birth, from of old; only in fighting do you seek kinship.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Still, Indra, from all ancient time rivalless ever and companionless art thou: Thou seekest friendship but in war.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 2 6204.2

न की रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः । यदा कृणोषि नदनुं समूहस्यादित्पितेव हूयसे

na kī revantaṃ sakhyāya vindase pīyanti te surāśvaḥ | yadā kṛṇoṣi nadanuṃ samūhasyāditpiteva hūyase

You find no rich man for friendship: those drunk on surā revile you. When you make the roar and sweep (them) together, then indeed you are called upon like a father.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

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 (1893)
