Sukta 10.186

Devata

Vāta (Wind as life-force and healer)

Этот краткий трёхстишный гимн призывает Вату (Ветер) как благого целителя, приносящего в сердце мир и радость и ведущего жизненное дыхание к полноте жизни. Связь углубляется обращением к Вате как к отцу, брату и другу; в завершение просят удела «сокровища бессмертия», которое, как верят, хранится в собственной обители Ваты, — то есть поддерживающей, неумирающей жизненной силы для продолжения жизни.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vāta is the wind as a divine power—both the outer moving air and the inner life-breath (prāṇa). The hymn treats him as a healer who supports calmness, vitality, and longevity.

The hymn asks Vāta to come as a remedy, bring peace and joy into the heart, and carry the worshipper’s life-breaths forward into a fuller, protected life-term.

It is an image for a deathless store of vitality (amṛta) associated with Vāta. The prayer asks that some of this sustaining, undiminishing life-power be granted ‘for living’—to strengthen and preserve life.
