Sukta 102
Rishi: Atharvanic seer-tradition (book 6 charm corpus)
Devata: Manas (Mind) and the Aśvins as paradigmatic agents of reunion
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable)
この短いアタルヴァ系のヴァシーカラナ（招引・心縛り）の讃歌は、望む相手の心を語り手と調和させ、共なる道筋において「出会い、向きを変え、留まる」ように導くことを目的とする。そこでは二つの制御の位相が織り合わされる。すなわち、神話的範例――アシュヴィン双神の完全に息の合った運搬――と、実際的な縛りのイメージ――手綱で引き、草で巻き縛ること――である。結びには、同意と好意的な傾きを生み出す薬草／化粧的な招引合剤が据えられる。
Mantras
Mantra 1
अभिसांमनस्यम्। यथा॒यं वा॒हो अ॑श्विना स॒मैति॒ सं च॒ वर्त॑ते । ए॒वा माम॒भि ते॒ मनः॑ स॒मैतु॒ सं च॑ वर्तताम्
【心を引き寄せる】アシュヴィン（Aśvin）双神の乗り物が相会して、ともに秩序正しく進み巡るように。かくのごとく、汝の心よ、我に向かって来たり、我とともに巡り、道を保て。
Mantra 2
आहं खि॑दामि ते॒ मनो॑ राजा॒श्वः पृ॒ष्ट्यामि॑व । रे॒ष्मच्छि॑न्नं॒ यथा॒ तृणं॒ मयि॑ ते वेष्टतां॒ मनः॑
我は汝の心を屈せしめる。背帯の締めの下に王の駿馬を制するがごとく。手綱に断たれた草が巻きつくように、汝の心よ、我が周りにまといつけ。
Mantra 3
आञ्ज॑नस्य म॒दुघ॑स्य॒ कुष्ठ॑स्य॒ नल॑दस्य च । तु॒रो भग॑स्य॒ हस्ता॑भ्यामनु॒रोध॑न॒मुद् भ॑रे
アニャナ（Añjana）—蜜を出すもの—より、またクシュタ（Kuṣṭha）とナラダ（Nalada）より。われは両手をもって、従順と同意を得るための勝利の呪符を取り出す—迅きもの、バガ（Bhaga）に属するものを。
Frequently Asked Questions
It aims to make another person’s mind return, agree, and remain oriented toward the speaker—reunion plus sustained attachment—using binding metaphors and a prepared attraction-compound.
The Aśvins function as the paradigm of swift reunion and coordinated movement; their ‘vehicle meeting and moving together’ becomes the model for two minds coming into the same course.
They supply the concrete ritual technology: a fragrant/cosmetic unguent (anurodhana) that embodies ‘sweetness’ and favor, meant to support social winning—compliance, consent, and attraction.
