《阿闼婆吠陀》7.49 祈请诸天之妻(Devapatnīs)——诸大神的配偶——作为合一的护佑之力,在进发、争战与夺取战利品之际“护送我们前行”。此颂既召唤无名的神圣女性,也点名因陀罗尼、阿耆尼、伐楼那尼与阿湿毗尼,以求得庇荫之安(śarma),并使吉祥的秩序得以发动,其中包括妇女之正当时令(ṛtu);此护围遍及大地与诸水,成其宇宙之围护。
Mantra 1
देवपत्न्यः। दे॒वानां॒ पत्नी॑रुश॒तीर॑वन्तु नः॒ प्राव॑न्तु नस्तु॒जये॒ वाज॑सातये । याः पार्थि॑वासो॒ या अ॒पामपि॑ व्र॒ते ता नो॑ देवीः सु॒हवाः॒ शर्म॑ यच्छन्तु
愿诸天之配偶——乐于护佑者——与我们为友;愿她们护持我们前行,使我们得以冲击敌阵、赢取胜利之奖。无论她们属于大地,或在水之法度中行持誓令,愿这些易于呼请的女神赐予我们庇护的安宁。
Mantra 2
उ॒त ग्ना व्य॑न्तु दे॒वप॑त्नीरिन्द्रा॒ण्य॑१ग्नाय्य॒श्विनी॒ राट्। आ रोद॑सी वरुणा॒नी शृ॑णोतु॒ व्यन्तु॑ दे॒वीर्य ऋ॒तुर्जनी॑नाम्
并愿诸天之配偶——诸神圣的夫人们——奋起行动:因陀罗妮(Indrāṇī)、阿耆尼耶(Agneyī),以及具王者威仪的阿湿毗尼(Aśvinī)。愿伐楼那妮(Varuṇānī)在两界(天地)之间垂听;愿诸女神运作不息——她们乃妇人之季节、正当之时。
They are the consorts of the major gods, invoked collectively as protective divine women; the hymn also names Indrāṇī, Agneyī, Varuṇānī, and Aśvinī.
Protection and safe advance in an undertaking or contest, success in winning the ‘prize’ (vājasāti), and the gift of sheltering peace (śarma).
Here ṛtu means ‘right time’ or auspicious order; the hymn asks the divine consorts to activate that proper timing for women, supporting regularity, wellbeing, and fertility as part of a broader protective aim.
