Sukta 124
कस्त्वा॑ स॒त्यो मदा॑नां॒ मंहि॑ष्ठो मत्स॒दन्ध॑सः । दृ॒ल्हा चि॑दा॒रुजे॒ वसु॑
kás tvā́ satyó madā́nāṁ máṁhiṣṭho matsád ándhasaḥ | dṛḷhā́ cid ārúje vásu
Who, O Vasu, is he that shall surpass thee—true amid the raptures, most bounteous, exulting in the Soma’s juice—thou who rendest even things firm-set fast?
ஓ வசு! பரவசங்களின் நடுவிலும் உண்மையாய் நிற்பவனே, மிகுந்த தானமுடையவனே, சோமரசத்தில் மகிழ்வோனே—உன்னை மிஞ்சுபவன் யார்? உறுதியாக நிலைத்தவற்றையும் நீ பிளந்து விடுகிறாய்.
