1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 20
Trividyah mam somapah puta papah yajnai ishtta svah gatim prarthayante I
Te punyam asadhya sur indra lokam ashnanti divyan deva bhogan II slkoa 20
त्रिविद्यः मां सोमपाः पूत पापाः यज्ञैः इष्टा स्वःगतिम् प्रार्थयन्ते I
ते पुण्यम् आसाध्य सुर इन्द्र लोकं अश्नन्ति दिव्यान् देव भोगान I I श्लोक 20
The knowers of the three vedas, the drinkers of soma, purified from sin, worshipping me by sacrifices, pray for the way to heaven. They reach the holy world of the Lord of the devas and enjoy in heaven the celestial pleasures.
What is mentioned here is the foremost among the heavenly enjoyments to which the three vedas - the Rik, Saman and Yajus - show the path. Indra is the title of the Lord of the devas. This status comes to the one who successfully performs a hundred fruit motivated yajnas.
