Soma

Soma, as mentioned in the Vedas, the Hindu scriptures, was the intoxicating juice of a plant offered in libation to a Hindu god, especially to Indra, to strengthen him in his war with the demons, and identified with the invigorating and inspiring principle in nature which manifests itself at once in the valour of the soldier and the inspiration of the poet. As a god, Soma is the counterpart of Agni.
