Comment Comment by _yy01 I was surprised to see the mention of ritual drink of Vedic people.It turns out to refer to a drug in fiction which is named after the Vedic ritual drink.Original Vedic "soma" is indeed more like a drink of inspiration and ecstasy, with myths similar to the norse "Mead of poetry"."somasya tA mada indraS cakAra" - "In the exhilaration of soma, Indra has done these great deeds" - is a rig-vedic refrain. parent _yy01 11 months ago
It turns out to refer to a drug in fiction which is named after the Vedic ritual drink.
Original Vedic "soma" is indeed more like a drink of inspiration and ecstasy, with myths similar to the norse "Mead of poetry".
"somasya tA mada indraS cakAra" - "In the exhilaration of soma, Indra has done these great deeds" - is a rig-vedic refrain.
