RV 7.29.4

उतो घा ते पुरुष्या इद् आसन् येषाम् पूर्वेषाम् अशृणोर् ऋषीणाम् । अधाहं त्वा मघवञ् जोहवीमि त्वं न इन्द्रासि प्रमतिः पितेव ॥

uto ghā te puruṣyā id āsan yeṣām pūrveṣām aśṛṇor ṛṣīṇām | adhāhaṃ tvā maghavañ johavīmi tvaṃ na indrāsi pramatiḥ piteva ||

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

They, verily, were also human beings whom thou wast wont to hear, those earlier sages. Hence I, O Indra Maghavan, invoke thee: thou art our Providence, even as a Father.
