    For him, Agni the bearer will grant shelter. He will long see the rising sun. He is the one who says, 'Let us press for Indra.' He is for the man, the hero, the foremost among men.

    Stanza 4.25.5

    न तं जि॑नन्ति ब॒हवो॒ न द॒भ्रा उ॒र्व॑स्मा॒ अदि॑तिः॒ शर्म॑ यंसत् | प्रि॒यः सु॒कृत्प्रि॒य इन्द्रे॑ मना॒युः प्रि॒यः सु॑प्रा॒वीः प्रि॒यो अ॑स्य सो॒मी ||

    This hero controls the powerful and the eager. Indra alone possesses the pressed offering of the Soma-presser. Not with the one who does not press, not with his kin or friend. He is the sole guardian of the oblation; he crushes the unoffering.

    Stanza 4.25.7

    न रे॒वता॑ प॒णिना॑ स॒ख्यमिन्द्रोऽसु॑न्वता सुत॒पाः सं गृ॑णीते | आस्य॒ वेदः॑ खि॒दति॒ हन्ति॑ न॒ग्नं वि सुष्व॑ये प॒क्तये॒ केव॑लो भूत् ||

    Indra does not ally with the wealthy but non-offering person. Indra, the drinker of pressed Soma, takes away his wealth and destroys him. He is the sole guardian for the one who presses Soma; he becomes his friend.
