Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.97
यज्ञे दिवो नृषदने पृथिव्या नरो यत्र देवयवो मदन्ति । इन्द्राय यत्र सवनानि सुन्वे गमन् मदाय प्रथमं वयश् च ॥

Where Heaven and Earth combine in men's assembly, and those who love the Gods delight in worship, Where the libations are effused for Indra, may he come first to drink and make him stronger.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ दैव्या वृणीमहे ऽवांसि बृहस्पतिर् नो मह आ सखायः । यथा भवेम मीळ्हुषे अनागा यो नो दाता परावतः पितेव ॥

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उ ज्येष्ठं नमसा हविर्भिः सुशेवम् ब्रह्मणस् पतिं गृणीषे । इन्द्रं श्लोको महि दैव्यः सिषक्तु यो ब्रह्मणो देवकृतस्य राजा ॥
