Sukta 8.76
Indra (with Maruts)
本赞歌呼唤“与马鲁特同来”的因陀罗,称他为不可征服的力量之主,催请他赴祭,饮苏摩,并为祭主赢得胜利与增长。除战斗性的召唤与祭仪的邀请外,诗中亦含一层省思:受灵感的言语(Vāc)由因陀罗而兴起,将外在的征服与依循ṛta(真理—秩序)而成的内在塑造相连。
Mantra 1
इमं नु मायिनं हुव इन्द्रमीशानमोजसा । मरुत्वन्तं न वृञ्जसे ॥
今我呼唤这位幻巧之主——因陀罗(Indra),以威力为主宰,以光明之能与造化之艺为力;携马鲁特(Marut)为伴者,不可在争光之战中被阻回。
Mantra 2
अयमिन्द्रो मरुत्सखा वि वृत्रस्याभिनच्छिरः । वज्रेण शतपर्वणा ॥
这位因陀罗,马鲁特之友,以百节之金刚(vajra)劈裂弗栗陀罗(Vṛtra)之首——破开阻塞之结,使力量与光明之流得以奔涌无碍。
Mantra 4
अयं ह येन वा इदं स्वर्मरुत्वता जितम् । इन्द्रेण सोमपीतये ॥
此即彼者:由他与摩卢特(Marut)同在,赢得了光明之天界(svar)。——因陀罗(Indra)为饮苏摩(Soma)而来,愿光之喜悦在我们之中得以安立。
Mantra 5
मरुत्वन्तमृजीषिणमोजस्वन्तं विरप्शिनम् । इन्द्रं गीर्भिर्हवामहे ॥
我们以启示之歌辞呼唤因陀罗——与摩卢特(Marut)为伴,行道正直,充满威力,作为广大而有效;愿他扩展我们生成之力。
Mantra 6
इन्द्रं प्रत्नेन मन्मना मरुत्वन्तं हवामहे । अस्य सोमस्य पीतये ॥
我们以古老的愿思之心呼唤因陀罗——与摩卢特(Marut)为伴——为饮此苏摩(Soma);愿那古而真实之力在我们之中再度苏醒。
Mantra 7
मरुत्वाँ इन्द्र मीढ्वः पिबा सोमं शतक्रतो । अस्मिन्यज्ञे पुरुष्टुत ॥
因陀罗啊,与马鲁特同在的你,慷慨的赐予者;百力之主啊,请饮此苏摩。在这场祭祀中——广受颂赞者——愿我们的供献成为得胜增益之田。
Mantra 8
तुभ्येदिन्द्र मरुत्वते सुताः सोमासो अद्रिवः । हृदा हूयन्त उक्थिनः ॥
唯为你,因陀罗啊,与马鲁特同在者;这些苏摩酒已榨出,持石者啊。颂歌者从心中呼唤你,以赞歌相召。
Mantra 9
पिबेदिन्द्र मरुत्सखा सुतं सोमं दिविष्टिषु । वज्रं शिशान ओजसा ॥
因陀罗啊,马鲁特之友,请饮这已榨的苏摩,于光明奋进的高处;以威力磨砺你的金刚杵。

उत्तिष्ठन्नोजसा सह पीत्वी शिप्रे अवेपयः । सोममिन्द्र चमू सुतम् ॥
你以雄力起身,同饮既毕,使双唇微颤;因陀罗啊,请饮此在祭碗(chamū)中榨出的苏摩(Soma)。
Mantra 11
अनु त्वा रोदसी उभे क्रक्षमाणमकृपेताम् । इन्द्र यद्दस्युहाभवः ॥
天与地,这两大世界,随你呼号而行,并未弃你;因陀罗啊,当你成为达修(Dasyu)的诛戮者之时。
Mantra 12
वाचमष्टापदीमहं नवस्रक्तिमृतस्पृशम् । इन्द्रात्परि तन्वं ममे ॥
我在自身塑成那八步之言,具九重花环,触及ṛta(真序、正法);自因陀罗而来,我环抱并建构我这具身。
Because the Maruts are Indra’s storm-like companions who intensify his power. Together they represent unstoppable force that clears obstacles and brings victory, rain, and increase.
The hymn repeatedly invites Indra to come to the sacrifice and drink the Soma. Accepting Soma signifies his active presence and his readiness to grant strength and success to the worshippers.
It says the poet forms an inspired, truth-touching speech within himself—structured and powerful—and that this inner capacity comes through Indra. In other words, Indra’s gift is not only outer victory but also inner clarity and right expression.
