26.161
atha ha mada āsuro bibhayāṃcakāra
sa hovāca mā māṃ moghāyodāhvayata vi māṃ nidhatteti
te'bruvanpāsyāma iti manyamānāssurāmāharāma varuṇasyāndhaso'dhi
tasyāṃ naivāsītkatamaścanārtassāmartyānīti
tatra mada parehīti
sa eṣa mada āsurassurāyāṃ vinihitaḥ
sa sunve yo vasūnāṃ yo rāyām
iti rūti revatīnāṃ rūpam
Now, the Asuric intoxication (mada) became afraid.
He said: "Do not call me forth in vain; place me apart!"
They said: "Thinking 'we will drink,' let us fetch liquor (surā) from the food of Varuṇa.
In it no one was afflicted, [thinking] 'I shall perish.'
There, O intoxication, go!"
That Asuric intoxication was placed in the liquor.
"He is pressed, who [is the lord] of riches, who of wealth"—
in this way 'rūti' is the form of the Revatīs.
