Atharva Veda 20.124.2: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 13, Sukta 124, Mantra 2
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?
โอ วสุ (Vasu) ผู้ใดเล่าจะเหนือกว่าเจ้า? เจ้าเป็นผู้สัตย์จริงท่ามกลางความปีติ เป็นผู้เอื้อเฟื้อยิ่งนัก รื่นเริงด้วยน้ำโสมะ (Soma) และยังฉีกทำลายได้แม้สิ่งที่ตรึงแน่นมั่นคง
