Sukta 27

Sukta 5.27

Devata

Agni Vaiśvānara (with praise that also frames a bountiful lordly power; donor-context with Tri-aruṇa)

这首短颂赞颂毗湿瓦那罗之火神阿耆尼——普遍之火与王者般的威权,使世间的繁荣与正当秩序清晰可见。诗中以施主情境(特里-阿鲁那)来映衬阿耆尼的伟大,并将颂歌的效力系于祭祀之言(ṛc/vāc),亦联系到马祭(Aśvamedha)的场域;末尾共同祈请因陀罗与阿耆尼扶持并守护刹帝利之权威(kṣatra,主权之力)。

愿真实之主为我所祈召,富有能量之骏马;愿最具洞见的阿修罗、慷慨施与者,显现于此。噢,阿耆尼·毗湿瓦那罗!特里-阿鲁那以万千之众,在你三重丰雨的充盈力中觉知于你。

赐我一百又二十道光辉(牛群之富)者,又赐两匹赤褐骏马,已轭而善负、行驶安稳者——噢毗湿瓦那罗(Vaiśvānara),善受颂赞而日益增长的阿耆尼(Agni),请赐特里-阿鲁那(Tri-aruṇa)以庇护之安宁(śarman)。

एवा ते अग्ने सुमतिं चकानो नविष्ठाय नवमं त्रसदस्युः । यो मे गिरस्तुविजातस्य पूर्वीर्युक्तेनाभि त्र्यरुणो गृणाति ॥

如是,噢阿耆尼(Agni),渴慕你的善意(sumati),特拉萨达修(Trāsadasyu)向“最新者”奉上第九首颂歌;那位为强大而生者(tuvijāta)以已轭之心志吟诵我古老言辞者——特里-阿鲁那(Tri-aruṇa)使之发声而颂扬。

Mantra 4

यो म इति प्रवोचत्यश्वमेधाय सूरये । दददृचा सनिं यते ददन्मेधामृतायते ॥

那位为我宣告“如此”(iti),向那位英雄的主(sūrya)为马祭(aśvamedha)而陈说者;以《颂》(ṛc)施与奋求者所得之利(sani),又施与行于真理者(ṛta)以灵感之智(medhā)。

因陀罗—阿耆尼啊,赐百福者!在马祭(Aśvamedha)中,请你们扶持善勇之威;托举广大的王权与刹帝利之力(kṣatra),如在苍穹之阔处高擎不老的太阳。

Frequently Asked Questions

Agni Vaiśvānara is Agni as the ‘universal’ fire—present in sacrifice and in the world—who brings light, order, and prosperity by carrying offerings and awakening clarity.

Tri-aruṇa appears as a patron/donor figure through whom Agni’s bounty and recognition are framed; the hymn reflects the Vedic link between ritual praise, patronage, and prosperity.

It treats the ṛc as effective action: the rightly spoken verse grants ‘gain’ to the striver and ‘medhā’ (inspired intelligence) to the one who follows truth (ṛta).
