Partial coverage
RigvedaRV 7.104.12

su̱vi̱jñā̱naṁ ci̍ki̱tuṣe̱ janā̍ya̱ sac cāsa̍c ca̱ vaca̍sī paspṛdhāte | tayo̱r yat sa̱tyaṁ ya̍ta̱rad ṛjī̍ya̱s tad it somo̍ 'vati̱ hanty āsa̍t ||

The prudent finds it easy to distinguish the true and false: their words oppose each other. Of these two that which is the true and honest, Soma protects, and brings the false to nothing.
Ralph T. H. Griffith
AtharvavedaAVS 8.4.12

suvijñānáṃ cikitúṣe jánāya sác cā́sac ca vácasī paspr̥dhāte | tásyor yát satyáṃ yatarád ŕ̥jīyas tád ít sómo 'vati hánty ásat ||12||

It is easy of understanding for a knowing man (''jána'') [that] true and untrue words (''vácas'') are at variance; of them what is true, whichever is more right, that Soma verily favors; he smites the untrue.
William Dwight Whitney (revised and edited by Charles Rockwell Lanman)

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.

Rigveda 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.
