Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.107.5

RV 10.107.5

दक्षिणावान् प्रथमो हूत एति दक्षिणावान् ग्रामणीर् अग्रम् एति । तम् एव मन्ये नृपतिं जनानां यः प्रथमो दक्षिणाम् आविवाय ॥

dakṣiṇāvān prathamo hūta eti dakṣiṇāvān grāmaṇīr agram eti | tam eva manye nṛpatiṃ janānāṃ yaḥ prathamo dakṣiṇām āvivāya ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He who brings Guerdon comes as first invited: chief of the hamlet comes the Guerdon-bearer. Him I account the ruler of the people who was the first to introduce the Guerdon.
