Sukta 3.44
Viśvāmitra Gāthina (Mandala 3 Indra cycle; RV 3.44)
Indra
Gāyatrī (probable for RV 3.44; shorter pādas consistent with Gāyatrī-stotra style)
这首简短的伽耶特丽体赞歌邀请因陀罗来到榨取苏摩之祭,恳请他驾着黄褐色的骏马前来,在祭仪中登上光辉的战车就座。随后赞颂因陀罗为支撑天地者,建立丰盛的滋养与食粮;并以因陀罗为黄褐色之雄牛的形象作结:他自执金刚杵(vajra),为胜利的行动而武装。
Mantra 1
अयं ते अस्तु हर्यतः सोम आ हरिभिः सुतः । जुषाण इन्द्र हरिभिर्न आ गह्या तिष्ठ हरितं रथम् ॥
这为你而有——可喜的——苏摩(Soma),由金黄之力(hari)所榨取。因陀罗啊,你欣然受纳它;携你金黄的威能(hari)来到我们这里;进入并立于这青金之车(hari-ta ratha)之上,在我们的祭场之中。
Mantra 2
हर्यन्नुषसमर्चयः सूर्यं हर्यन्नरोचयः । विद्वाँश्चिकित्वान्हर्यश्व वर्धस इन्द्र विश्वा अभि श्रियः ॥
以金黄的炽烈,你赞颂黎明(Uṣas);以金黄的炽烈,你使太阳(Sūrya)显耀。既知且明辨的、金鬃骏马之因陀罗啊,你增长于一切光荣——遍入每一种光明圆满的威德。
Mantra 3
द्यामिन्द्रो हरिधायसं पृथिवीं हरिवर्पसम् । अधारयद्धरितोर्भूरि भोजनं ययोरन्तर्हरिश्चरत् ॥
因陀罗支撑了充满金黄辉耀的天界,也支撑了富有金黄形相的大地。他为那两种金黄之力立下丰盛的滋养;在二者之间,光明的能量(hariś)行走并运作。
Mantra 4
जज्ञानो हरितो वृषा विश्वमा भाति रोचनम् । हर्यश्वो हरितं धत्त आयुधमा वज्रं बाह्वोर्हरिम् ॥
既生为赭黄之力的雄牛,整个光明的世界都辉耀显现。驾赭黄骏马的因陀罗执起赭黄的武器;他把金刚杵——那发光的威能——安置在双臂之上,以成就胜利之业。
It invites Indra to come to the soma offering with his tawny horses, take his seat at the ritual, and bring strength, victory, and nourishment to the worshippers.
The ‘hari’ imagery points to Indra’s tawny horses and radiant power—his shining energy that moves between Heaven and Earth and turns the offering into effective, life-giving force.
The vajra symbolizes decisive power that breaks obstacles—an inner courage and clarity that protects, stabilizes one’s world, and wins the needed victory for growth and well-being.
