Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 20.67

वनोति हि सुन्वन् क्षयं परीणसः सुन्वानो हि ष्मा यजत्य् अव द्विषो देवानाम् अव द्विषः । सुन्वान इत् सिषासति सहस्रा वाज्य् अवृतः । सुन्वानायेन्द्रो ददात्य् आभुवं रयिं ददात्य् आभुवम् ॥१॥

vanoti hi sunvan kṣayaṃ parīṇasaḥ sunvāno hi ṣmā yajaty ava dviṣo devānām ava dviṣaḥ | sunvāna it siṣāsati sahasrā vājy avṛtaḥ | sunvānāyendro dadāty ābhuvaṃ rayiṃ dadāty ābhuvam ||1||

The pourer of libations gains the home of wealth, pouring his gift conciliates hostilities, yea, the hostilities of Gods. Pouring, he strives, unchecked and strong, to win him riches thousandfold. Indra gives lasting wealth to him who pours forth gifts, yea, wealth he gives that long shall last.
