Sukta 10.158
Sūrya, Vāta, Agni (triadic guardianship across three worlds)
这首短颂是一篇护佑与疗愈的祈祷,召请三位宇宙守护者——天界的苏利耶(太阳)、中界的伐多(风)、地上的阿耆尼(火)——在三界之中周全护持礼拜者。继而转向视力(cakṣus)的复原与开阔,祈求那安置、稳固并确立视觉的神圣力量,赐予外在与内在的清明之见。颂歌最终以愿得见“完全可见”的苏利耶作结,并愿如那些人一般广阔地观看——其人类之眼因光明而被照耀。
Mantra 1
सूर्यो नो दिवस्पातु वातो अन्तरिक्षात् । अग्निर्नः पार्थिवेभ्यः ॥
愿苏利耶(Sūrya)自天上护佑我们;愿伐多(Vāta,风神)自中界(antarikṣa)护佑我们;愿阿耆尼(Agni)自大地诸境护佑我们。
Mantra 2
जोषा सवितर्यस्य ते हरः शतं सवाँ अर्हति । पाहि नो दिद्युतः पतन्त्याः ॥
萨维特尔(Savitar)啊,在你那金辉之力的欢悦允诺(joṣā)中——其势堪受百般推动——愿你护佑我们,免于坠落的闪电之辉。
Mantra 3
चक्षुर्नो देवः सविता चक्षुर्न उत पर्वतः । चक्षुर्धाता दधातु नः ॥
愿神萨维特尔(Savitar)在我们之中安置“眼”;愿帕尔瓦塔(Parvata,坚固之力)亦赐予我们“眼”;愿达特里(Dhātṛ)为我们确立这见照之能。
Mantra 4
चक्षुर्नो धेहि चक्षुषे चक्षुर्विख्यै तनूभ्यः । सं चेदं वि च पश्येम ॥
请为我们安置眼目,为眼目赐下眼目;又在诸身之中安置洞见之眼,使我们得以同观此界之合一,并明辨其正当差别。
Mantra 5
सुसंदृशं त्वा वयं प्रति पश्येम सूर्य । वि पश्येम नृचक्षसः ॥
噢,苏利耶(Sūrya)啊,愿我们得见你,清明可见,正面相对;愿我们广见,如具人眼而被神化者——内在人之先见。
It is a short hymn for protection on all levels (heaven, midspace, and earth) and for the restoration and strengthening of vision—both physical sight and inner clarity.
They represent guardians of the three cosmic regions: Surya protects from the heavens, Vata from the mid-region, and Agni from the earthly realm—so the worshipper is covered completely.
It is commonly recited at dawn or sunrise facing the light, optionally with a lamp or small fire, as a prayer for safety, vitality, and clear perception (especially when seeking support for eyesight and mental clarity).
