Sukta 9.56
Soma Pavamāna (purifying Soma)
这首简短的《Pavamāna》赞歌颂扬苏摩穿越滤器(pavitra)奔涌而下,与宏大的宇宙正法(ṛtam bṛhat)相契合,并粉碎阻碍之力(rakṣas/vighna)。诗中亦描绘经典意象:苏摩由“十位少女”(指手指/制备时的水流)洗涤净化,因而变得甘美,适合献给因陀罗与毗湿奴。末尾以护佑之祈作结:愿净化后的苏摩守护歌者,免于罪过与困厄。
Mantra 1
परि सोम ऋतं बृहदाशुः पवित्रे अर्षति । विघ्नन्रक्षांसि देवयुः ॥
苏摩(Soma)迅疾环绕那广大之真理(ṛtáṃ bṛhát),穿行于净滤之器(pavitra);摧破诸障与诸护卫之力——因他乃求神者(devayú)。
Mantra 2
यत्सोमो वाजमर्षति शतं धारा अपस्युवः । इन्द्रस्य सख्यमाविशन् ॥
当苏摩(Soma)奔流趋向力之丰盈(vāja)之时,他那百道勤作的流注,进入因陀罗(Indra)的友契与同盟。
Mantra 3
अभि त्वा योषणो दश जारं न कन्यानूषत । मृज्यसे सोम सातये ॥
十位少女——喜悦之女——如趋向情郎般向你迫近;为求真实之得胜,你被洁净,噢苏摩(Soma)。
Mantra 4
त्वमिन्द्राय विष्णवे स्वादुरिन्दो परि स्रव । नॄन्त्स्तोतॄन्पाह्यंहसः ॥
噢因杜(Indu),为因陀罗(Indra)与毗湿奴(Viṣṇu)而甘美地环流吧;护佑我等之人——歌者——免于困厄与罪咎。
It praises Soma as he is purified through the ritual filter, becomes aligned with cosmic truth (ṛta), destroys obstructive forces, and then protects the worshippers.
They are a poetic image for the agents of purification—often understood as the ten fingers involved in pressing/straining, or the flowing streams that cleanse and guide Soma.
Because purified Soma is offered to empower the gods; the verse asks Soma to be sweet for Indra and Viṣṇu and to protect the singers from aṃhas (harm, distress, or moral fault).
