RV 7 53.1

प्र द्यावा यज्ञैः पृथिवी नमोभिः सबाध ईऴे बृहती यजत्रे । ते चिद् धि पूर्वे कवयो गृणन्तः पुरो मही दधिरे देवपुत्रे

pra dyāvā yajñaiḥ pṛthivī namobhiḥ sabādha īḻe bṛhatī yajatre | te cid dhi pūrve kavayo gṛṇantaḥ puro mahī dadhire devaputre

With sacrifices and with homage I, hard-pressed, invoke Heaven and Earth, the lofty, the worshipful; those ancient seers too, singing, set the two great ones whose sons are gods before (them).
