Atharva Veda 4.34.3: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 34, Mantra 3
Sukta 34
वि॒ष्टा॒रिण॑मोद॒नं ये पच॑न्ति॒ नैना॒नव॑र्तिः सचते क॒दा च॒न। आस्ते॑ य॒म उप॑ याति दे॒वान्त्सं ग॑न्ध॒र्वैर्मदते सो॒म्येभिः॑
viṣṭāríṇam odanáṃ yé pácanti náinān ávartiḥ sacate kadā́ caná | ā́ste yamá úpa yāti devā́n sáṃ gandharváir mádate somyébhiḥ
They who cook the Vistārin porridge—never doth No-return cleave unto them at any time. Yama abideth; he draweth nigh unto the Gods, and with the Gandharvas he taketh delight in soma-like joys.
જે લોકો વિસ્તારિણ ઓદન (પાયસ) રાંધે છે, તેમને ‘અનાવર્તિ’—અપરાવર્તન (ફરી ન ફરવાની સ્થિતિ)—ક્યારેય ચોંટતી નથી. યમ ત્યાં નિવાસ કરે છે; તે દેવો તરફ નજીક જાય છે, અને ગંધર્વો સાથે સોમ્ય આનંદોમાં રમે છે.
