Sukta 9.41
Soma Pavamāna (streams/forces of Soma)
这首简短的《Pavamāna》赞歌颂扬苏摩在流动、净化之相中奔涌穿过滤器,褪去遮蔽的“黑皮”,显现明亮而不倦的力量。诗中祈请苏摩以丰厚的滋养流向祭祀者——赐予牛群、如黄金般的光辉、骏马与制胜之力,并以赐平安的护佑环绕他们。此歌旨在兼具仪式与灵性:一方面增强榨苏摩之祭,另一方面借苏摩之味(rasa)澄明意识。
Mantra 1
प्र ये गावो न भूर्णयस्त्वेषा अयासो अक्रमुः । घ्नन्तः कृष्णामप त्वचम् ॥
他们奔涌而出,如牛群旋卷;光耀而不倦的诸力迈步前行,击落那黑暗的皮膜——遮蔽晦冥的覆盖。
Mantra 2
सुवितस्य मनामहेऽति सेतुं दुराव्यम् । साह्वांसो दस्युमव्रतम् ॥
我们以心念趋向善达之途,越过那难以渡越的桥梁;如得胜者,制伏那无誓无律的达修(dasyu)——那拒绝正当行作之力。
Mantra 3
शृण्वे वृष्टेरिव स्वनः पवमानस्य शुष्मिणः । चरन्ति विद्युतो दिवि ॥
人听见那声响,如雨之淙淙:净化而有力的苏摩(Soma)之鸣;其闪电在天界行走——高处觉醒能量的征象。
Mantra 4
आ पवस्व महीमिषं गोमदिन्दो हिरण्यवत् । अश्वावद्वाजवत्सुतः ॥
流向我们吧,因度(Indu)啊,携来广大之滋养:富于光牛(go),富于金辉(hiraṇya),富于骏马之生力(aśva),富于胜力与丰盈之瓦迦(vāja);你这为圣业而被榨取者。
Mantra 5
स पवस्व विचर्षण आ मही रोदसी पृण । उषाः सूर्यो न रश्मिभिः ॥
愿你流淌,遍观者啊;充盈那广大之二界。犹如黎明与太阳以其光线照灌,亦以光明之流灌满我等全身。
Mantra 6
परि णः शर्मयन्त्या धारया सोम विश्वतः । सरा रसेव विष्टपम् ॥
苏摩啊,以你赐安与庇护之流,从四方环护我等。愿你如“味精”(rasa)之本质,流贯我等安住之界。
It praises Soma as he flows in purified streams, drives away darkness, and brings nourishment, wealth, strength, and protective peace to the worshippers.
It is a metaphor for purification: as Soma is strained, he casts off impurity; spiritually, it points to removing inner ignorance and obscurity.
It is suited to recitation during soma pressing and straining, when the juice is purified and offered, while praying for prosperity and shelter for the community.
