Sukta 7.10
Vasiṣṭha
Agni (depicted in dawn-like radiance; possibly Agni as morning kindling)
Triṣṭubh (probable)
这首短颂赞阿耆尼的赞歌,将火描绘得如黎明般明亮——广布光辉,闪耀并唤醒灵感之思,宛如乌莎斯的恋人。瓦西什塔呈现阿耆尼为美丽而行止合乎正道的祭品承载者,也是引导人类的向导;他在祭祀之夜带来财富与神圣的临在。
Mantra 1
उषो न जारः पृथु पाजो अश्रेद्दविद्युतद्दीद्यच्छोशुचानः । वृषा हरिः शुचिरा भाति भासा धियो हिन्वान उशतीरजीगः ॥
如同黎明之恋人,他铺展广阔的光辉;闪耀、炽燃,在自明之光中燃烧。那雄强的金色者以清净的光焰照耀;驱策诸思而前行,他唤醒了渴慕的诸力。
Mantra 2
स्वर्ण वस्तोरुषसामरोचि यज्ञं तन्वाना उशिजो न मन्म । अग्निर्जन्मानि देव आ वि विद्वान्द्रवद्दूतो देवयावा वनिष्ठः ॥
如同诸曙光来临时天界之金般,他辉耀显现;铺展祭祀,如同热切求火者(uśij)一般,意念被铸成。神圣的阿耆尼(Agni)洞知诸生起(janman),奔走而出为使者,在趋向诸神之行旅中最为先导。
Mantra 3
अच्छा गिरो मतयो देवयन्तीरग्निं यन्ति द्रविणं भिक्षमाणाः । सुसंदृशं सुप्रतीकं स्वञ्चं हव्यवाहमरतिं मानुषाणाम् ॥
趋向于他,那些求神的言辞与思虑前行,祈求丰裕之资粮。它们走向阿耆尼(Agni)——悦目可观、光辉之容、行止自正;他是奉献之载者(havyavāha),亦是人类行旅的御者与引导者。
Mantra 4
इन्द्रं नो अग्ने वसुभिः सजोषा रुद्रं रुद्रेभिरा वहा बृहन्तम् । आदित्येभिरदितिं विश्वजन्यां बृहस्पतिमृक्वभिर्विश्ववारम् ॥
阿耆尼啊,请为我们同喜而载来:与诸婆苏(Vasus)同在的因陀罗(Indra);与诸鲁陀罗(Rudras)同在的鲁陀罗(Rudra),那广大者。与阿底提耶(Ādityas)同来阿底提(Aditi)——普生万类、广阔之母;并以颂词之圣贤(ṛkva)同来布里哈斯帕提(Bṛhaspati),赐予一切所愿之福。
Mantra 5
मन्द्रं होतारमुशिजो यविष्ठमग्निं विश ईळते अध्वरेषु । स हि क्षपावाँ अभवद्रयीणामतन्द्रो दूतो यजथाय देवान् ॥
众族在诸祭仪中礼赞阿耆尼——欢悦的祭司(Hotṛ)、热切的乌施吉(Uśij)、最年轻者。因为他在漫漫长夜中成为丰饶(rayīṇām)的主宰;不知疲倦的使者,为了祭奉诸天神。
The image highlights Agni’s morning kindling: like dawn’s beloved, he spreads wide radiance, flashes brightly, and awakens human energy and inspired thought.
Havyavāha means “carrier of the offering,” and dūta means “messenger.” Agni transports the oblations and the worshipper’s intention from the human realm to the gods.
It can be recited at dawn or at the start of a fire offering to invoke clarity, aspiration, and right direction—asking Agni to carry one’s offerings and prayers effectively.
