Sukta 28

Sukta 5.28

Devata

Agni (with strong presence of Uṣas as accompanying power)

这首短歌赞颂阿耆尼:他被点燃后,火焰上腾直达天界,其光辉与自东方来临的乌莎斯(曙光)相迎;她携带一切可欲之赐而至。诗中把曙光照耀下万物的苏醒,与祭祀的苏醒相连,劝勉敬拜者选择阿耆尼为havyavāhana——将供献稳妥无误地运送至诸神的使者。

Mantras

Mantra 1

समिद्धो अग्निर्दिवि शोचिरश्रेत्प्रत्यङ्ङुषसमुर्विया वि भाति । एति प्राची विश्ववारा नमोभिर्देवाँ ईळाना हविषा घृताची ॥

阿耆尼既被点燃,其焰光在天穹迸射;迎向黎明(Uṣas),广远而明耀地照临。黎明自东方而来,携一切可欲之宝;她以礼敬之行呼请诸神,以祭供(havis)奉献,行于酥油(ghṛta)之流。

Mantra 2

समिध्यमानो अमृतस्य राजसि हविष्कृण्वन्तं सचसे स्वस्तये । विश्वं स धत्ते द्रविणं यमिन्वस्यातिथ्यमग्ने नि च धत्त इत्पुरः ॥

当你被点燃,在不死之境的光域中炽然之时,你为求安泰而伴随那备办供献(havis)之人。你把一切财富与存在之资粮安置于他;而他所行的款待(atithya),噢阿耆尼(Agni),你也使之坚立,置于他生命之前。

Mantra 3

अग्ने शर्ध महते सौभगाय तव द्युम्नान्युत्तमानि सन्तु । सं जास्पत्यं सुयममा कृणुष्व शत्रूयतामभि तिष्ठा महांसि ॥

噢阿耆尼(Agni),为大福祉整列你的众军;愿你至上的光辉威能与我们同在。请在我们之中建立家主之权与善治之道;临御那敌对的冲动,以你的伟大凌越其上。

Mantra 4

समिद्धस्य प्रमहसोऽग्ने वन्दे तव श्रियम् । वृषभो द्युम्नवाँ असि समध्वरेष्विध्यसे ॥

噢阿耆尼(Agni),你以大威力被点燃,我礼赞你的光辉与吉祥之荣(śrī)。你是雄牛般的强力者,充满灿然之辉;在诸祭仪中,你被点燃而归于和谐。

Mantra 5

समिद्धो अग्न आहुत देवान्यक्षि स्वध्वर । त्वं हि हव्यवाळसि ॥

阿耆尼啊,你既被点燃、又受供献,便在善整的祭道中为诸天行祭;因为你确是哈维亚瓦哈——负载供物、送达神明者。

Mantra 6

आ जुहोता दुवस्यताग्निं प्रयत्यध्वरे । वृणीध्वं हव्यवाहनम् ॥

来吧,行献祭吧;在前行的祭仪中,以奉事之心事奉阿耆尼。你们当选择他——哈维亚瓦哈那,载运供物者。

Frequently Asked Questions

It celebrates Agni as the bright, kindled fire that becomes most vivid at dawn, and it urges worshippers to offer with reverence and let Agni carry the gift to the gods.

Dawn represents the daily renewal of light and order; the hymn shows Agni’s flame meeting that renewal, so the sacrifice begins in the same spirit of awakening and freshness.

It can be recited when lighting a ritual fire, especially in the early morning, while offering ghee or simple oblations and mentally ‘choosing’ Agni as the messenger of the offering.
