'Smite', Brahma said to him, encouraging him, he said, "Having conquered and slain Vṛtra, this is my Soma drinking with you." 10 Here Indra drinks Soma with his Brahma and the Brahma drinks Soma with his Indra, This legend narrates the after-victory Samanic festivities of the victors in the Indra-Vṛtra War. Indra was the Brahamaryan Supreme military commander and Vṛtra was the supreme leader of the Ahi Republic of the mountainous regions. Indra-Vṛtra War is a historical truth which is the theme and spirit of Rgveda. Rgveda is the Glorification Volume, presented posthumously to Indra by Ṛsis for his great victory against Vṛtra. After this great historical event, the whole Brahmaryan Tribal Collective, the Brahma, and its supreme military Commander, Indra, made mass festivities; the rank and file and leaders all in common, drank Soma effusively attended by mass singing, mass dancing and mass enjoying.
Brahma, the ultimate Aryan Society, displays military activities. Brahma Society had come in existence before the Aryan contacts with Bharata when the Aryans had to fight battles in the beginning with the mountainous people, fhe Vṛtras, Dāsas, Daśyus and others in Iran, Gedrosia and Arachosia. Brahma was the self acting armed society of the Aryans.
