20.72.2

ví tvā tatasre mithunā́ avasyávo vrajásya sātā́ gávyasya niḥsŕ̥jaḥ sákṣanta indra niḥsŕ̥jaḥ |
yád gavyántā dvā́ jánā svàr yántā samū́hasi |
āvíṣ kárikrad vŕ̥ṣaṇaṃ sacābhúvaṃ vájram indra sacābhúvam ||2||

Couples desirous of thine aid are storming thee, pouring their presents forth to win a stall of kine, pouring gifts, Indra, seeking thee.
When two men seeking spoil or heaven thou bringest face to face in war,
Thou showest Indra, then the bolt thy constant friend, the bull that ever waits on thee,

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1895, The Hymns of the Atharvaveda
