2.5.2.27
sa etāmaindrīm marutvatīmajapat | kṣatraṃ vā indro viśo marutaḥ kṣatraṃ vai viśo niṣeddhā niṣiddhā asanniti tasmādaindrī
He muttered that (verse) addressed to Indra and referring to the Maruts. Indra indeed is the nobility, and the Maruts are the people; and the nobility are the controllers of the people: 'They shall be controlled,' he thought; and therefore (that verse, Vâg. S. III, 46) is addressed to Indra.
