RV 1 53.1

न्य् ऊ३ षु वाचम् प्र महे भरामहे गिर इन्द्राय सदने विवस्वतः । नू चिद् धि रत्नꣳ ससताम् इवाविदन् न दुष्टुतिर् द्रविणोदेषु शस्यते

ny ū3 ṣu vācam pra mahe bharāmahe gira indrāya sadane vivasvataḥ | nū cid dhi ratnaṁ sasatām ivāvidan na duṣṭutir draviṇodeṣu śasyate

Now indeed we bring forward our speech, our songs, to the great Indra in the seat of Vivasvat. For only now have (men) found the treasure, as (one finds it) of those asleep; ill-praise is not approved among the givers of wealth.
