Sukta 83

Sukta 10.83

Rishi

Manyu (personified) / traditionally attributed to a seer of the Manyu hymns (Book 10, late layer; specific attribution varies by Anukramaṇī)

Devata

Manyu (Wrath/Ardour as divine power, often linked with Indra)

Chandas

Triṣṭubh (probable)

本颂歌祈请“Manyu”(神圣的忿怒/炽烈之气)作为与因陀罗的胜利之力结盟的神格力量,愿其与祭主同轭,在战斗中对抗如弗栗陀罗般的阻碍与敌对势力。Manyu被赞为自生、不可抗拒、遍行万有,并被祈求“把力量安置在我们之中”,以应对内在与外在的冲突。颂歌末以亲密相伴的意象收束——Manyu立于右侧——并以甘美精髓(苏摩/蜜甜奠酒)为供,供其秘密地、向内啜饮。

Mantras

Mantra 1

यस्ते मन्योऽविधद्वज्र सायक सह ओजः पुष्यति विश्वमानुषक् । साह्याम दासमार्यं त्वया युजा सहस्कृतेन सहसा सहस्वता ॥

噫,Manyu(忿怒之神)!凡为你备置金刚雷槌与利箭者,你的力与威势护持万有,使其各循其道。愿我等以你为同轭之伴——以力成力——凭你强盛之威能,制伏那黑暗的障碍者,并压倒人中分裂之敌。

Mantra 2

मन्युरिन्द्रो मन्युरेवास देवो मन्युर्होता वरुणो जातवेदाः । मन्युं विश ईळते मानुषीर्याः पाहि नो मन्यो तपसा सजोषाः ॥

Manyu即是因陀罗;Manyu确乎是天神。Manyu是祭司Hotar,是伐楼那,是知诸生起者(Jātavedas)。人间诸族礼赞Manyu——噫,Manyu啊,愿你与tapas(苦行之热、灵火)同在,和合守护我等。

Mantra 3

अभीहि मन्यो तवसस्तवीयान्तपसा युजा वि जहि शत्रून् । अमित्रहा वृत्रहा दस्युहा च विश्वा वसून्या भरा त्वं नः ॥

降临于我等吧,Manyu!你比强者更强;与tapas同轭,以力击散诸敌。你是灭敌者、灭Vr̥tra(遮蔽者)者、灭Dasyu(黑暗抗拒者)者——请为我等带来一切财富与福祉。

Mantra 4

त्वं हि मन्यो अभिभूत्योजाः स्वयम्भूर्भामो अभिमातिषाहः । विश्वचर्षणिः सहुरिः सहावानस्मास्वोजः पृतनासु धेहि ॥

唯你,哦曼纽(Manyu,神圣之怒),具胜伏之力;你自生而起,炽焰般的光辉,能摧破敌对的侵袭者。普行于万类者,不可抗者,强有力者——愿你在诸内在的战斗中,把你的威力安置于我们之中。

Mantra 5

अभागः सन्नप परेतो अस्मि तव क्रत्वा तविषस्य प्रचेतः । तं त्वा मन्यो अक्रतुर्जिहीळाहं स्वा तनूर्बलदेयाय मेहि ॥

我无分而失落、远离;唯凭你的意志之力,哦明觉者,哦猛烈者。故此,哦曼纽,轻蔑我内那无智无策者;来临于我——我自身——使之成为赐力者。

Mantra 6

अयं ते अस्म्युप मेह्यर्वाङ्प्रतीचीनः सहुरे विश्वधायः । मन्यो वज्रिन्नभि मामा ववृत्स्व हनाव दस्यूँरुत बोध्यापेः ॥

我在此属于你——请近就我,转向我而来,哦不可抗者、维持万有者。哦曼纽,执金刚者,请环护我;让我们击倒达修(Dasyu,黑暗之力),并觉醒于诸水——那净化意识的深渊。

Mantra 7

अभि प्रेहि दक्षिणतो भवा मेऽधा वृत्राणि जङ्घनाव भूरि । जुहोमि ते धरुणं मध्वो अग्रमुभा उपांशु प्रथमा पिबाव ॥

与我同进;在我右侧护持我;于是愿我们踏碎众多遮蔽与障碍(vṛtra)。我为你倾注甘甜(madhu)之首精、能持之供;你们二位请在内密(upāṃśu)中饮那最初一啜。

Frequently Asked Questions

Manyu is divine ardour or sacred wrath—an overpowering, blazing force closely resembling Indra’s victorious energy. The hymn treats this ‘wrath’ as a deity that can be invoked and internalized as strength.

No. While it uses battle language (weapons, enemies, Vṛtra), it also points to inner struggle—overcoming fear, inertia, and inner division by placing Manyu’s ojas (force) within oneself.

The hymn ends by pouring the first essence of sweetness (Soma/madhu imagery) and inviting secret drinking. This symbolizes communion—taking Manyu’s power inward in a controlled, consecrated form.
