Sukta 5.69
Atri (Ātreya)
Mitra-Varuṇa
Triṣṭubh (likely; long verse with multiple pādas—verify)
这首简短的阿特里赞歌颂扬密特拉与伐楼那为阿底提耶诸神:他们支撑三重光明的境界,并以坚定不移的宇宙誓法(vratāni)加以统摄。诗中祈请二神护持神圣的法则,驱除统治者与社群中乖曲或迷妄的谋议,并赐予安康、富饶(rāyí)与和平,使家族与后嗣得以绵延。
Mantra 1
त्री रोचना वरुण त्रीँरुत द्यून्त्रीणि मित्र धारयथो रजांसि । वावृधानावमतिं क्षत्रियस्यानु व्रतं रक्षमाणावजुर्यम् ॥
伐楼那啊,你们支撑三重光明之界;又支撑三重之日;密多罗啊,你们支撑三重空间(诸界域)。你们增长而强盛,守护刹帝利之不朽誓法(vrata),并驱逐我们之中统御者的非正之念,使王权循行于神圣的法度。
Mantra 2
इरावतीर्वरुण धेनवो वां मधुमद्वां सिन्धवो मित्र दुह्रे । त्रयस्तस्थुर्वृषभासस्तिसृणां धिषणानां रेतोधा वि द्युमन्तः ॥
伐楼那啊,你们那滋养的母牛满溢而来,富于丰饶,倾注甘美;密多罗啊,你们那含蜜的诸河奔流而出。三头雄牛屹立,为三重灵感(dhīṣaṇā)负载种子,光辉灿然,显出明耀之力。
Mantra 3
प्रातर्देवीमदितिं जोहवीमि मध्यंदिन उदिता सूर्यस्य । राये मित्रावरुणा सर्वतातेळे तोकाय तनयाय शं योः ॥
清晨我呼唤女神阿底提(Aditi);正午,当太阳升起之时。为得丰盈之赐(rāyí),我礼敬密多罗与伐楼那——遍包一切者——愿赐我等内在之子与滋长之苗裔以安康与吉祥的宁和。
Mantra 4
या धर्तारा रजसो रोचनस्योतादित्या दिव्या पार्थिवस्य । न वां देवा अमृता आ मिनन्ति व्रतानि मित्रावरुणा ध्रुवाणि ॥
你们支持着光辉的境界与广阔的空域——天与地的神圣阿底提耶(Ādityas)。密特拉与伐楼那啊,诸不死的天神也不能动摇你们坚固的誓法与定则。
They are paired Āditya deities who protect cosmic and moral order (ṛta). Mitra emphasizes harmony and right relations, while Varuṇa emphasizes truth, conscience, and binding law.
It refers to the stable laws that keep the world and society in order—truthfulness, right conduct, and the dependable rhythms of nature. The sukta says these ordinances are so strong that even other gods do not overturn them.
It reflects a daily rhythm of worship: calling on Aditi and the Ādityas at key times of light. Symbolically, it also suggests renewing one’s commitment to truth and right action as the day begins and as it reaches fullness.
