Rig Veda 8.21.14
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
नकी रेवन्तं सख्याय विन्दसे पीयन्ति ते सुराश्वः | यदा कर्णोषि नदनुं समूहस्यादित पितेव हूयसे
IAST Romanisation
nakī revantaṃ sakhyāya vindase pīyanti te surāśvaḥ | yadā kṛṇoṣi nadanuṃ samūhasyādit piteva hūyase
English Translation (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.
