Atharva Veda 20.60.3: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 60, Mantra 3
Sukta 60
मो षु ब्र॒ह्मेव॑ तन्द्र॒युर्भुवो॑ वाजानां पते । मत्स्वा॑ सु॒तस्य॑ गोम॑तः
mā́ u ṣú bráhmeva tandrayúr bhúvo vājānāṃ pate | mátsvā sutásya gó-mataḥ ||
Be not, I pray, like prayer itself grown sluggish, O Lord of prizes: be exhilarate with the pressed (Soma), rich in kine.
हे धन का मालिक, ऐसा मत हो जैसे मंत्र पढ़ते पढ़ते आदमी सो जाए। सोम पी और खुश हो जा। यह तुझे पीने के लिए है। गाइयाँ भी तेरे पास हैं। तू एनर्जेटिक रहो, डल मत हो।
