14.1.1.13

sa u eva makhaḥ sa viṣṇuḥ tata indro makhavānabhavanmakhavānha vai tam maghavānityācakṣate paro'kṣam paro'kṣakāmā hi devāḥ

And Makha (sacrifice), indeed, is the same as Vishnu: hence Indra became Makhavat (possessed of makha), since Makhavat is he who is mystically called Maghavat, for the gods love the mystic.
