Sukta 9.46
Soma Pavamāna
这首简短的“净化者”颂歌赞颂苏摩在净滤之际奔涌而出,疾驰而来供诸神享用,并在流淌中获得光辉的力量。诗中生动描绘了榨取与洗炼:以搅动的杵杆攫取明亮的苏摩,将他与“母牛”(光线/乳汁)相和调制,尤其为因陀罗备办其令人振奋的威能。其旨趣兼具仪轨与象征:既为祭祀增力,也使净化而上扬的意识得以显现。
Mantra 1
असृग्रन्देववीतयेऽत्यासः कृत्व्या इव । क्षरन्तः पर्वतावृधः ॥
他们奔涌而出,为诸神之享受——这些迅疾者——如勤作之能量投身其艺;倾流而下,增益群山(坚固的高峻之有)。
Mantra 2
परिष्कृतास इन्दवो योषेव पित्र्यावती । वायुं सोमा असृक्षत ॥
这些因陀婆(Soma之滴)已被周密净治、光辉灿然;如一位承载祖灵之力的少女,诸苏摩遂自流而出,趋向伐由(Vāyu)——那行走的气息。
Mantra 3
एते सोमास इन्दवः प्रयस्वन्तश्चमू सुताः । इन्द्रं वर्धन्ति कर्मभिः ॥
这些苏摩之因陀婆,富于祭供之精髓,被压榨入祭盂(camu)之中;它们以诸般行持与祭业,增长因陀罗(Indra)的威力。
Mantra 4
आ धावता सुहस्त्यः शुक्रा गृभ्णीत मन्थिना । गोभिः श्रीणीत मत्सरम् ॥
奔来此处吧,善巧之手的诸位;以搅拌杖(manthin)攫取那明净的(苏摩);以诸“牛”(gó,光线/光辉)调和并充实那醉人的欢悦。
Mantra 5
स पवस्व धनंजय प्रयन्ता राधसो महः । अस्मभ्यं सोम गातुवित् ॥
愿你净化而流,噢胜得丰饶者,推进伟大福乐者——噢苏摩(Soma),识途者,为了我们。
Mantra 6
एतं मृजन्ति मर्ज्यं पवमानं दश क्षिपः । इन्द्राय मत्सरं मदम् ॥
这位可被洗涤者、自在净化的苏摩(Soma)——十只迅捷之手洗净他;他是为因陀罗(Indra)而有的狂喜与醉力。
It describes Soma in the act of purification—rushing forth, being churned and strained, and becoming a bright, powerful drink offered to the gods, especially to Indra.
These are ritual images from Soma preparation: priests handle and churn the juice and mix it with milk (and poetically, with ‘rays’ of light) to strengthen its invigorating potency.
He symbolizes inner purification: raw energies and emotions are refined through discipline into a clear, luminous joy that supports strength, clarity, and inspired power.
