Sukta 18
इ॒च्छन्ति॑ दे॒वाः सु॒न्वन्तं॒ न स्वप्ना॑य स्पृहयन्ति । यन्ति॑ प्र॒माद॒मत॑न्द्राः
icchánti devā́ḥ sunvántam ná svapnā́ya spṛhayanti | yánti pramā́dam atándrāḥ ||
The gods desire the soma-presser; they long not for sleep. Unwearied, they go unto (him who avoids) negligence.
देवा लोग उस इंसान को ढूंढ़ते हैं जो सोम का काम करता है। वो नींद का शौक नहीं रखते। वो थकते नहीं, हमेशा जागरूक रहते हैं और ध्यान से काम करते हैं।
