Sukta 9.112

Devata

Soma (Indu) for Indra

Chandas

Anushtubh-like (late/gnomic feel; exact meter needs confirm)

这首简短的帕瓦玛那赞歌颂扬苏摩(因度)在净化之际被安置而奔流,以增益因陀罗之力。诗中以鲜明、近乎谚语式的意象描绘人间诸业与自然本能的多样趋向,宣示虽众心所向、所求各异,终皆汇归于祭祀之流;此流使因陀罗得以强盛,并维系宇宙的秩序。

Mantras

Mantra 1

नानानं वा उ नो धियो वि व्रतानि जनानाम् । तक्षा रिष्टं रुतं भिषग्ब्रह्मा सुन्वन्तमिच्छतीन्द्रायेन्दो परि स्रव ॥

我们的思虑确然多样,人类的行径与誓则亦各不相同。木匠寻觅折裂之木,医者寻觅病患之疾,婆罗门祭司寻觅榨汁者——噢因度啊,为因陀罗而环流奔涌。

Mantra 2

जरतीभिरोषधीभिः पर्णेभिः शकुनानाम् । कार्मारो अश्मभिर्द्युभिर्हिरण्यवन्तमिच्छतीन्द्रायेन्दो परि स्रव ॥

以枯萎的药草,以叶片,捕鸟者追逐其所求;铁匠以石与炽燃之火,寻觅那富有黄金者。噢因度啊,为因陀罗而环流奔涌。

Mantra 3

कारुरहं ततो भिषगुपलप्रक्षिणी नना । नानाधियो वसूयवोऽनु गा इव तस्थिमेन्द्रायेन्दो परि स्रव ॥

我为颂辞之匠;他者为医者;他者在石榨旁研磨。我们的意念各各不同,皆求丰裕;我们随顺而立,如牛群(或光线)循序而行。噢,因度啊,为因陀罗而环流、奔涌。

Mantra 4

अश्वो वोळ्हा सुखं रथं हसनामुपमन्त्रिणः । शेपो रोमण्वन्तौ भेदौ वारिन्मण्डूक इच्छतीन्द्रायेन्दो परि स्रव ॥

马驮载轻快之车;相应的呼声以欢悦相召相答。生殖之力与其激荡之动,击破诸障;连水中的青蛙也渴望(雨与苏醒)。噢,因度啊,为因陀罗而环流、奔涌。

Frequently Asked Questions

It says that people think and work in many different ways, but all these pursuits ultimately meet in the sacrificial flow of Soma, which strengthens Indra and brings prosperity.

These examples show everyday diversity in society: each profession seeks its own ‘object’ (wood, illness, the presser). The hymn uses this to point to a shared center—the Soma rite.

Soma (Indu) is directly praised as he flows and is purified, but the refrain makes the purpose clear: Soma is offered ‘for Indra,’ to empower Indra’s victorious, rain-bringing force.
