Rig Veda 7.83.7: Mandala 7, Sukta 83, Mantra 7
Sukta 7.83
दश राजानः समिता अयज्यवः सुदासमिन्द्रावरुणा न युयुधुः । सत्या नृणामद्मसदामुपस्तुतिर्देवा एषामभवन्देवहूतिषु ॥
daśá rājānaḥ sámitā áyajyavaḥ sudā́sam indrāvaruṇā́ ná yuyudhuḥ | satyā́ nṛṇā́m adma-sádām úpa-stutir devā́ eṣām abhavan deva-hū́tiṣu ||
The ten kings, gathered together, without sacrifice, could not truly contend with Sudās when Indra and Varuṇa stood with him. The true acclaim of the men who sit in the home (the settled consciousness) became effective: the gods were present for them in the divine callings—Truth brought the divine into their acts.
