这篇简短的王权咒以“围护”之法,将国王安置在坚固不动的主权之中,使国土不致滑脱、人民自愿归附同心。它把王权稳定下来:令国王“如山岳般”被固定,以因陀罗为其范式,并以祭祀的“坚固/恒定”(dhruva)加以封印;此举又得苏摩与婆罗门那斯帕提(Brahmaṇaspati)的认可与护持。
Mantra 1
राज्ञः संवरणम्। आ त्वा॑हार्षम॒न्तर॑भूर्ध्रु॒वस्ति॒ष्ठावि॑चाचलत्। विश॑स्त्वा॒ सर्वा॑ वाञ्छन्तु॒ मा त्वद् रा॒ष्ट्रमधि॑ भ्रशत्
为王设围护之咒。我已将你迎来;你已入于其中。立住坚固,不可动摇。愿一切民众都渴望你;愿国土不从你手中滑落。
Mantra 2
इ॒हैवैधि॒ माप॑ च्योष्ठाः॒ पर्व॑त इ॒वावि॑चाचलत्। इन्द्र॑ इवे॒ह ध्रु॒वस्ति॑ष्ठे॒ह रा॒ष्ट्रमु॑ धारय
就在此处,就在此处,愿你兴盛;莫要滑脱离去。稳如山岳,不可动摇;如因陀罗般在此坚立,并在此扶持王国(rāṣṭra)。
Mantra 3
इन्द्र॑ ए॒तम॑दीधरत् ध्रु॒वं ध्रु॒वेण॑ ह॒विषा॑ । तस्मै॒ सोमो॒ अधि॑ ब्रवद॒यं च॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑
因陀罗使此得以坚固——以坚固的祭供(havis)令其更坚固。对此,苏摩(Soma)向他表示赞同;祈祷之主——梵语之主(Brahmaṇaspati)亦同声应许。
To ritually secure and stabilize the king so that the kingdom does not “slip away,” and so the people remain favorably disposed toward his rule.
A mountain symbolizes being unmoved and unshaken, while Indra is the Vedic model of firm, victorious sovereignty—together expressing unbreakable political steadiness.
The verses can be recited as a protective royal charm; the hymn itself also points to a “firm oblation” (havis) as an ideal sealing act, but no specific herb or amulet is required here.
