Sukta 9.57
Soma Pavamāna
这首简短的《苏摩·帕瓦玛那》赞歌称颂苏摩:他以不断绝的水流穿过滤网,如天雨自穹苍降下,奔向丰盛的力量(vāja)。当汁液被净化并“磨光”之时,苏摩被观想为具王者威仪、守持法度、迅疾如隼,仿佛落在宝藏之上;并祈请他把天与地的一切财富带给祭祀者。
Mantra 1
प्र ते धारा असश्चतो दिवो न यन्ति वृष्टयः । अच्छा वाजं सहस्रिणम् ॥
汝之不息诸流,前行不止,如自天而降之雨;趋向那千重之力的丰盈(vāja)。
Mantra 2
अभि प्रियाणि काव्या विश्वा चक्षाणो अर्षति । हरिस्तुञ्जान आयुधा ॥
他流淌而行,遍观一切所爱之诗性神力(kāvya);那赭黄者(hari)驱策其武器——成就之能量。
Mantra 3
स मर्मृजान आयुभिरिभो राजेव सुव्रतः । श्येनो न वंसु षीदति ॥
他以生命之力(āyú)磨砺而明净,雄健如王,守持正法(ṛta)之誓;如鹰隼般,栖止于可欲之珍宝。
Mantra 4
स नो विश्वा दिवो वसूतो पृथिव्या अधि । पुनान इन्दवा भर ॥
愿他为我们从天界与大地之上,携来一切财富。净化中的因度(Indu)啊,请为我们运载而来。
It praises Soma as he is purified (pavamāna) in flowing streams, compares his movement to heavenly rain, and asks him to bring strength (vāja) and riches to the worshippers.
Soma Pavamāna is the Soma juice in its purified, clarified form—called Indu—flowing through the ritual filter and believed to grant vitality, victory, and prosperity.
Rain imagery shows Soma’s abundant, unstoppable flow, while the falcon image suggests swift, decisive arrival and secure settling on the ‘treasure’—the desired prize of strength and wealth.
