Mandala 1 Sukta 165 of Rigveda contains the samvada of Indra and Marutganas. It contains 15 mantras. According to Katyayana's Sarvanukramani mantras 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10-12 are from Indra, mantras 3, 5, 7 and 9 are by Maruts and the rest 13, 14 and 15 are by Agastya.
In a yajna that Agasthya conducted both Indra and Marutgana are present to receive the havishya offerings. Indra observes the Marutganas and offers few words of praise for them, "Maruts who are of same age and splendor are quite strong. On whose wish they are here? whose invitation did they hear? How much can praise the greatness of these Maruts who travel with great speeds just like the Syena birds." Marutganas hearing these words, think that Indra cannot be victorious over Vrtra nor can cause rains without our help. Overcome with Ahankara or pride they ask Indra about the purpose behind such a praise. Annoyed Indra tells them that he does not need any subordinates nor the Maruts and indulges self praise and boasting about his greatness. Indra is powerful, fierce and omnipotent. He is an expert in warfare capable of destroying his enemies with ease. The Maruts are also powerful supporting Indra in wars as well as in fighting wars independently, so they did not like Indra treating them lowly. When Indra reiterates his might the Maruts bow down and offer worship to Indra. Agastya worships the Maruts and asks them for their benevolence.
In the context of Sukta 170 of Mandala 1, there are 5 mantras.
