Sukta 10.151
Śraddhā (Faith/Assent) with reference to Agni and Bhaga
这首短颂将“Śraddhā（信心／认可）”人格化为使祭祀生效的隐秘力量：她点燃阿耆尼（Agni），托举供品，并借由福神婆伽（Bhaga）确保吉祥的分配。诗中祈求：愿诸神在敌对势力之中所确立的那份坚定信赖，也同样确立在祭主的志向与所求之中。信心被召唤贯穿一日三节——黎明、正午与日落——使趋向真理的意向在心中坚固不移。
Mantras
Mantra 1
श्रद्धयाग्निः समिध्यते श्रद्धया हूयते हविः । श्रद्धां भगस्य मूर्धनि वचसा वेदयामसि ॥
以信（Śraddhā）阿耆尼得以燃起；以信祭供（havis）被呼请而奉举。我们以言辞使“信”显明于觉知，并将之安置在福神婆伽（Bhaga）的顶巅。
Mantra 2
प्रियं श्रद्धे ददतः प्रियं श्रद्धे दिदासतः । प्रियं भोजेषु यज्वस्विदं म उदितं कृधि ॥
噢信（Śraddhā）啊，使施与者可亲，使慷慨者可亲；在诸享受之中，也使祭献者（yajvan）可亲。愿你使我所发之言、所立之愿升起，确立而成就。
Mantra 3
यथा देवा असुरेषु श्रद्धामुग्रेषु चक्रिरे । एवं भोजेषु यज्वस्वस्माकमुदितं कृधि ॥
如诸天在凶猛的阿修罗众中安立信心（Śraddhā）， 亦当如是：在我们的享受与诸祭者之间， 使我们所举起的愿念得以成就、圆满。
Mantra 4
श्रद्धां देवा यजमाना वायुगोपा उपासते । श्रद्धां हृदय्ययाकूत्या श्रद्धया विन्दते वसु ॥
诸天与诸祭者——由风神伐由（Vāyu）守护——趋近于信心（Śraddhā）。 以由心而生的意向，他们归向信心； 凭信心，人得见真“瓦苏”（Vasu）——内在的财富与圆满。
Mantra 5
श्रद्धां प्रातर्हवामहे श्रद्धां मध्यंदिनं परि । श्रद्धां सूर्यस्य निम्रुचि श्रद्धे श्रद्धापयेह नः ॥
我们在黎明呼唤信心（Śraddhā）；以信心环护正午。 我们在太阳沉落之际呼唤信心： 噢信心啊，愿你在我们此处，使对真理的心之允诺得以安立。
Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn addresses Śraddhā—Faith or inner assent—personified as a divine power. Agni and Bhaga are referenced because faith makes the fire-rite work and brings an auspicious share of results.
That sacrifice and spiritual effort succeed through śraddhā: faith kindles Agni, empowers the offering, and makes one’s intention effective, even when circumstances are difficult.
It is especially fitting at dawn before lighting the fire or beginning worship, and it can also be recited at midday and sunset, following the hymn’s own three daily invocations of Śraddhā.
