6.24.71

sattvāni tu prabudhyante prāyaśaḥ prathame made/
dvitīye 'avyaktatāṃ yānti madhye cottamamadhyayoḥ/
sasyasaṃbodhakaṃ varṣaṃ, hemaprakṛtidarśakaḥ/
hutāśaḥ, sarvasattvānāṃ madyaṃ tūbhayakārakam//

Mental constitutions are mostly awakened in the first stage of intoxication; / in the second they enter indistinctness, both in the middle and in the highest and middling [minds]. / Just as rain brings forth crops and fire reveals the true nature of gold, / wine acts as both for all mental constitutions.
