Atharva Veda 20.126.19: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 13, Sukta 126, Mantra 19
Sukta 126
अ॒यमे॑मि वि॒चाक॑शद् विचि॒न्वन् दास॒मार्य॑म्। पिबा॑मि पाक॒सुत्व॑नो॒ऽभि धीर॑मचाकशं॒ विश्व॑स्मा॒दिन्द्र॒ उत्त॑रः
ayám emi vicā́kaśad vicinván dāsám ā́ryam | pibā́mi pā́kasutvano’bhí dhī́ram acākaśaṃ víśvasmā́d índra úttaraḥ ||
Forth go I, clear-shining, choosing apart the Dāsa from the Ārya. I drink of the well-prepared pressing; full in front of me stands the steadfast one made manifest: from all men, O Indra, thou art the higher.
मैं निकल रहा हूँ, चमक रहा हूँ। दास और आर्य को अलग-अलग कर रहा हूँ। अच्छी तरह तैयार की हुई शराब पीता हूँ। सामने एक पक्का खड़ा है जो दिख रहा है। इंद्र, तुम सबसे बड़े हो।
