Sukta 4

प्र वा ए॒तीन्दु॒रिन्द्र॑स्य॒ निष्कृ॑तिं॒ सखा॒ सख्यु॒र्न प्र मि॑नाति संगि॒रः । मर्य॑ इव॒ योषाः॒ सम॑र्षसे॒ सोमः॑ क॒लशे॑ श॒तया॑मना प॒था

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 18.4.60

prá vá etī́ndúr índrasya níṣkṛtiṃ sákhā sákhyor ná prá mināti saṅgiráḥ | márya ivá yóṣāḥ sám arṣase sómaḥ kaláśe śatá-yāmanā pathā́

Forth verily goes Indu to Indra’s outlet and release: a friend, he mars not the friend’s bond, the singer. Like a young man unto maidens thou rushest together; Soma, into the jar, by a path of hundred courses.

सोम रस इंद्र के पास जाता है, उनकी प्रॉब्लम सॉल्व करने के लिए। वो दोस्त है, दोस्ती का ध्यान रखता है, गाने वाले के साथ मिल के रहता है। जैसे कोई जवान लड़कियों के पास दौड़ता है, वैसे ही सोम कलश में जाता है। सौ रास्ते से आता है।
