Partial coverage
AtharvavedaAVS 8.4.13

ná vā́ u sómo vr̥jináṃ hinoti ná kṣatríyam mithuyā́ dhāráyantam | hánti rákṣo hánty ā́sad vádantam ubhā́v índrasya prásitau śayāte ||13||

Soma by no means furthers the wicked [man], nor the ''kshatríya'' who maintains [anything] falsely; he smites the demon; he smites the speaker of untruth; both lie within reach of Indra.
William Dwight Whitney (revised and edited by Charles Rockwell Lanman)
RigvedaRV 7.104.13

na vā u̱ somo̍ vṛji̱naṁ hi̍noti̱ na kṣa̱triya̍m mithu̱yā dhā̱raya̍ntam | hanti̱ rakṣo̱ hanty āsa̱d vada̍ntam u̱bhāv indra̍sya̱ prasi̍tau śayāte ||

Never doth Soma aid and guide the wicked or him who falsely claims the Warrior's title. He slays the fiend and him who speaks untruly: both lie entangled in the noose of Indra.
Ralph T. H. Griffith

The surface that matched

Both passages fold to the same comparison surface. Accents, word breaks and sandhi are removed before comparison, so this string is not how either text reads.

What a match here does and does not show

These links are derived by comparing normalised Sanskrit surfaces. They show that two collections carry the same wording. They are not, by themselves, a demonstrated line of transmission between them, and the direction stored on an edge is a property of how it was built.

Atharvaveda is one of four collections held here. Cross-corpus comparison bottoms out at the weakest shared surface, because a Devanagari text and a romanised text share no code points.

How these were derived1

  • Parallelism is symmetric and this graph stores it as a directed edge, so these relations are traversed in both directions and each row states which way the stored edge ran. All 1,684 REUSES_TEXT_FROM edges point Samaveda-to-Rigveda, and 1,421 Rigvedic passages have reuse edges only inbound; following the arrow would show those 1,421 verses no reuse at all.
