Sukta 9.14
Soma Pavamāna
此《苏摩·帕瓦玛那》赞歌颂扬被净化的苏摩:如先见之力般在宇宙之水上运行,承载灵感之言,唤醒天界与地界。经由反复的澄滤洗炼,苏摩愈加光耀,赢得“母牛”(光线/启明之力),并被邀请来到祭主之前,带来vasu——光明、力量与安康的丰饶。
Mantra 1
परि प्रासिष्यदत्कविः सिन्धोरूर्मावधि श्रितः । कारं बिभ्रत्पुरुस्पृहम् ॥
那“见者之力”环行四周,奋然推进;安立于海流之波上,它承载着创造的言辞,丰饶而多所希求——诸般圆满追寻的力量。
Mantra 2
गिरा यदी सबन्धवः पञ्च व्राता अपस्यवः । परिष्कृण्वन्ति धर्णसिम् ॥
当以光明之言(girá)之时,那五支相联的众团——行事之工——环绕塑成并精炼那持载之力(dhárṇasim);他们为苏摩(Soma)之力备办其正当的承载。
Mantra 3
आदस्य शुष्मिणो रसे विश्वे देवा अमत्सत । यदी गोभिर्वसायते ॥
于是,在这位强力者的汁液(rasa)中,诸神皆得欢悦;当他以光辉之牛群——诸光线——为衣,被披覆而取其灿然之裳。
Mantra 4
निरिणानो वि धावति जहच्छर्याणि तान्वा । अत्रा सं जिघ्नते युजा ॥
既已抛却不净,他奔流而出,分作多途;舍下身躯那陈旧的覆裹。于此,诸被轭之力同击(障碍),而赢得通行之路。
Mantra 5
नप्तीभिर्यो विवस्वतः शुभ्रो न मामृजे युवा । गाः कृण्वानो न निर्णिजम् ॥
他与毗婆斯伐特(Vivasvat)的亲族神力同在——那光辉的青年——一次又一次被净炼;他使诸“光牛”(诸光线、启明之群)归于己有,如披一袭灿然的衣裳。
Mantra 6
अति श्रिती तिरश्चता गव्या जिगात्यण्व्या । वग्नुमियर्ति यं विदे ॥
他越过两重支撑,横向而行;循着光牛的微细之道而去——他为知者发动那隐秘之火,那内在的燃点。
Mantra 7
अभि क्षिपः समग्मत मर्जयन्तीरिषस्पतिम् । पृष्ठा गृभ्णत वाजिनः ॥
诸迅疾之力向他汇聚,净炼那丰饶之主(Iṣaspati);诸强健者攫住他的背脊——扶持着他,载他向前。
Mantra 8
परि दिव्यानि मर्मृशद्विश्वानि सोम पार्थिवा । वसूनि याह्यस्मयुः ॥
遍触诸天之奥秘,亦遍触一切大地之有,苏摩啊;怀着对我等的眷念而来,携来诸财富——光与力的圆满。
The hymn praises Soma Pavamāna—Soma while being purified and made radiant as it flows through the filter in the Soma sacrifice.
It presents Soma as a power of inspired vision and speech: as Soma is clarified, it ‘carries’ creative utterance and awakens illumination in the world and in the worshipper.
In Vedic symbolism, “cows” often point to rays or illumining powers (and also tangible wealth), while “vasu” means riches—especially the fullness of light, strength, and well-being that Soma is asked to bring.
