Sukta 1.153
Dīrghatamas Āucathya (traditional attribution)
Mitra–Varuṇa
Triṣṭubh
这首简短的特里什图布(Triṣṭubh)赞歌把密特拉—伐楼那作为合一的一对来祈请,求他们悦纳祭司凭借洞见(dhī)与恭敬礼赞所奉上的、富含酥油的供献。诗中把他们的王权与ṛta(宇宙秩序、正法)相连,描绘阿底提为滋养的母牛,使与真理相应者的丰饶增长;末尾又祈求那位古老主宰赐予维系生命的“乳汁”与清澈之水——象征生命、明净与正当秩序。
Mantra 1
यजामहे वां महः सजोषा हव्येभिर्मित्रावरुणा नमोभिः । घृतैर्घृतस्नू अध यद्वामस्मे अध्वर्यवो न धीतिभिर्भरन्ति ॥
我们同心礼祭你们二位的伟大,以祭品与礼敬——噢密特拉与伐楼那。你们以酥油而辉耀、以酥油而丰盈;当我们内在的祭司以洞见把你们奉迎至此时,请来,悦纳这内在的供献。
Mantra 2
प्रस्तुतिर्वां धाम न प्रयुक्तिरयामि मित्रावरुणा सुवृक्तिः । अनक्ति यद्वां विदथेषु होता सुम्नं वां सूरिर्वृषणावियक्षन् ॥
如同仪轨安置得当的次第,我的赞歌向你们推进——噢密特拉与伐楼那——成为端正回旋的颂辞。若在集会中,呼多梨(Hotṛ)为你们行涂抹之礼;那时,光明的施与者便祈求为你们——也从你们——赢得你们恩惠的福乐,噢强健者。
Mantra 3
पीपाय धेनुरदितिॠताय जनाय मित्रावरुणा हविर्दे । हिनोति यद्वां विदथे सपर्यन्त्स रातहव्यो मानुषो न होता ॥
阿底提——滋养之母牛——为择取ṛta(宇宙正序)之民而丰盈;噢密特罗与伐楼那,她赐下供献之礼物。凡人之Hotṛ(祭司)在会集中奉事你们时,便推动祭仪前行;他是“真施供物者”,如同人间的祭司。
Mantra 4
उत वां विक्षु मद्यास्वन्धो गाव आपश्च पीपयन्त देवीः । उतो नो अस्य पूर्व्यः पतिर्दन्वीतं पातं पयस उस्रियायाः ॥
又在诸族之中、在陶醉之际,醇饮、群牛与神圣之水都为你们而增长。又愿我们得此古老之主的恩赐:来吧,饮吧——饮那光辉之母牛的乳,滋养的精髓。
They are a paired Āditya deity: Mitra represents harmony and trustworthy agreements, while Varuṇa represents moral law and sovereign restraint. Together they protect ṛta—right order in the cosmos and society.
Ghṛta is a primary Vedic offering and also a symbol of clarity and luminous nourishment. The hymn asks Mitra–Varuṇa to delight in ghee-rich oblations brought with reverence and focused insight.
Aditi appears as the nourishing Cow who ‘swells’ for people devoted to ṛta. She represents the supportive, expansive power through which lawful order becomes visible as fertility, cattle, waters, and well-being.
