(from the GRETIL e-text).
Eggeling’s translation from 1885: “He offers with, ’This is the first consecration, assuring all boons; he is the first, Varuṇa, Mitra, Agni — he is the first, Bṛhaspati, the wise: to that Indra offer ye the liquor, Hail!”. (vol 2, p. 285-6).

Dear Friends,
Might someone know the source of this quote?
It is found embedded in assertions, like this:
India has been described by some traditional texts as Sa Prathama Sanskrati Vishvavara,
the first and supreme culture in the world. To this day, the South
Asian country remains a hotspring of ancient wisdom on mind-body health
and spirituality.
I am wondering what the traditional texts might be that describe this assertion.
Thanks.
All the best,
パトリック マッカートニー
