Sukta 187

Sukta 1.187

Devata

A mighty upholder of dharma (likely Indra or a related heroic power; identification requires full hymn context beyond 1.187.1)

Chandas

Gayatri/Anuṣṭubh uncertain (meter requires syllable verification; short verse suggests non-Trishtubh)

本赞歌颂扬苏摩为神圣的“饮品”(pitu):它确立诸神的神圣意志,增强神力,并赋予战胜以弗栗陀罗/阿希为象征之阻碍的胜利。诗中将苏摩的祭仪身份(被压榨、奉献,并在sadhamāda中共享)与其宇宙性作用交织:恢复正法(dharma)的秩序,释放力量与光明,惠及诸神与祭祀者。

Frequently Asked Questions

The hymn primarily addresses Soma, called “pitu” (the Drink). Soma is praised as a power that supports dharma/ṛta and helps defeat obstruction symbolized by Vṛtra or Ahi.

In Vedic thought Soma empowers the gods—especially the heroic force that overcomes blockage. So the Vṛtra/Ahi motif shows Soma’s role in turning sacred offering into victorious strength and release.

Offer and cultivate Soma-like clarity: a purified, luminous energy that steadies the mind, strengthens resolve, and helps remove inner and outer obstacles, concluding in shared well-being (sadhamāda).
