5.3.5.27
atha dhanuradhitanoti | indrasya vārtraghnamasīti vārtraghnaṃ vai dhanurindro vai yajamāno dvayena vā eṣa indro bhavati yacca kṣatriyo yadu ca yajamānastasmādāhendrasya vārtraghnamasīti
He (the Adhvaryu) then strings the bow, with, 'Thou art Indra's Vritra-killer;' for the bow is indeed a Vritra-killer, and the Sacrificer is Indra,--he is Indra in a twofold way, both as a Kshatriya, and as Sacrificer: therefore he says, 'Thou art Indra's Vritra-killer.'
