Soma has been mentioned in Chapter 9, verse 20 of [[Bhagavad Gita]]:
{{Poemquote|
Those who perform actions (as described in the three [[Vedas]]), desiring fruit from these actions, and those who drink the juice of the pure Soma plant, are cleansed and purified of their past sins.
Those who desire heaven, (the Abode of the Lord known as [[Indra]]lok) <ref>Bhagavad Gita on Indra Ch 10 verse 22</ref> attain heaven and enjoy its divine pleasures by worshipping me through the offering of sacrifices.
Thus, by performing good action ([[Karma]], as outlined by the three Vedas), one will always undoubtedly receive a place in heaven where they will enjoy all of the divine pleasure that are enjoyed by the Deities.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}{{refn|group=note|trai-vidyā māṁ soma-pāḥ pūta-pāpā<br>yajñair iṣhṭvā svar-gatiṁ prārthayante<br>te puṇyam āsādya surendra-lokam<br>aśhnanti divyān divi deva-bhogān}}}}
