Rishi

Soma-pavamāna seer tradition (Mandala 9)

Devata

Soma Pavamāna (with solar vastness imagery)

Chandas

Jagatī (probable)

この短いパヴァマーナ讃歌は、浄められつつ動き出し、愛されるもの・吉祥なるものへと向かうソーマを讃える。ソーマは聖なる名と人の祭儀の働きによって力を増す。彼は太陽の広大さを帯びるものとして想像され、太陽の広々とした戦車に乗り、ついで黄金の器に入り、曙とともに輝き、最後にインドラを力づけて、豊穣と安寧を授けさせる。

Mantras

Mantra 1

अभि प्रियाणि पवते चनोहितो नामानि यह्वो अधि येषु वर्धते । आ सूर्यस्य बृहतो बृहन्नधि रथं विष्वञ्चमरुहद्विचक्षणः ॥

彼は愛しきものどもへと流れ、歓喜のために据えられたり。疾き者は諸々の「名」(nāman、言の力)の上において増し育つ。大いなる太陽の広がり——その大いなるもの——の上に、洞察ある者は遍く行きわたる車に乗り上がれり。

Mantra 2

ऋतस्य जिह्वा पवते मधु प्रियं वक्ता पतिर्धियो अस्या अदाभ्यः । दधाति पुत्रः पित्रोरपीच्यं नाम तृतीयमधि रोचने दिवः ॥

ṛta(宇宙の真理秩序)の舌は流れ出る——甘露、愛しきもの。これはこの霊感の思惟の、瑕なき主にして語り手。子は、父母(天と地)の秘められた名——第三のもの——を、天の輝ける領域に据える。

Mantra 3

अव द्युतानः कलशाँ अचिक्रदन्नृभिर्येमानः कोश आ हिरण्यये । अभीमृतस्य दोहना अनूषताधि त्रिपृष्ठ उषसो वि राजति ॥

彼は下へと輝き、壺に向かって叫ぶ。人々に導かれ、黄金の器へと入る。ṛta の搾乳は彼に響き渡った。三重の座に据えられ、曙(ウシャス)とともに広く光りわたる。

Mantra 4

अद्रिभिः सुतो मतिभिश्चनोहितः प्ररोचयन्रोदसी मातरा शुचिः । रोमाण्यव्या समया वि धावति मधोर्धारा पिन्वमाना दिवेदिवे ॥

石に搾られ、霊感の思惟によって喜びのために据えられた清浄なるものは、二人の母(天と地)を輝かせる。羊毛の毛筋を、時にかなって分かれ走り抜ける。甘露の流れは日ごとに満ちふくらむ。

Mantra 5

परि सोम प्र धन्वा स्वस्तये नृभिः पुनानो अभि वासयाशिरम् । ये ते मदा आहनसो विहायसस्तेभिरिन्द्रं चोदय दातवे मघम् ॥

ソーマよ、われらの安寧のために四方にめぐり流れ出でよ。人の諸力によって浄められつつ、豊かな祝福(āśis)をもってわれらを覆え。汝のその恍惚の力――障碍を撃つ者、内なる広空を遍く翔ける者――によって、インドラを促し、強大な富を与えしめよ。
