So they are soma-pah. Soma is a kind of beverage. Just like in this material world we have got different kinds of liquors. It is not intoxicating, but there is mention. Here in the Bhagavad-gita it is also mentioned, soma-pah, soma-rasa. And in Srimad-Bhagavatam we get information that in the moon planet they also drink this soma-rasa. But the soma-rasa is not an intoxicant. It is a different thing. Here it is said, soma-pah puta-papah. One who will drink the soma-rasa, he will be freed from sinful reaction. Just the opposite. Here, just like when we become intoxicated, we become addicted to so many sinful actions, it is soma-pah. When we drink soma-rasa, it is just the opposite. We become freed from all sinful reaction.
That soma-pah is recommended here also.
So either they try to go to other planets, or they manufacture here soma-pah, soma-rasa. Of course, at the present moment we have no such facility. But from Bhagavad-gita it is understood that there was a method.
Anyway, the process is mentioned, described in the Vedic literature, trai-vidya.
