Ramayana 2.61.18

तथा ह्यात्तमिदं राज्यं हृतसारां सुरामिव।नाभिमन्तुमलं रामो नष्टसोममिवाध्वरम्।।2.61.18।।

tathā hy āttam idaṃ rājyaṃ hṛtasārāṃ surām iva | nābhimantum alaṃ rāmo naṣṭasomam ivādhvaram || 2.61.18 ||

So too, this kingdom—already enjoyed by others—would be like liquor whose essence has been drained; Rāma is not fit to accept it, like a sacrifice in which the Soma has been lost.
