Sukta 9.79
Soma Pavamāna (Indu/Indavaḥ)
这首简短的帕瓦玛那·苏摩赞歌颂扬被压榨出的苏摩滴在净化中奔涌向前,为祭祀者散布滋养与受灵感启发的思虑。诗中又把净化的苏摩转化为道德与护佑之力,祈求他摧毁那“阻遏/扣留”之物及一切敌对势力——它们妨碍繁荣与正念。赞歌最终以祈祷作结:愿苏摩的力量与可爱之狂喜,使献祭者安然无恙地“从一层到一层”前行。
Mantra 1
अचोदसो नो धन्वन्त्विन्दवः प्र सुवानासो बृहद्दिवेषु हरयः । वि च नशन्न इषो अरातयोऽर्यो नशन्त सनिषन्त नो धियः ॥
愿那不待驱策的苏摩之滴,为我们疾驰向前——被榨出的、明耀者,在广阔诸天中。愿我们的冲力与滋养四散扩展;愿不施者如异乡人般消亡;愿我们的思虑赢得所获之利。
Mantra 2
प्र णो धन्वन्त्विन्दवो मदच्युतो धना वा येभिरर्वतो जुनीमसि । तिरो मर्तस्य कस्य चित्परिह्वृतिं वयं धनानि विश्वधा भरेमहि ॥
愿苏摩之滴为我们疾驰,倾泻醉悦(mada)——凭借那些财富,我们得以轭上那热切的骏马。越过任何凡人所设的欺夺与索求,愿我们以万般方式承载诸财。
Mantra 3
उत स्वस्या अरात्या अरिर्हि ष उतान्यस्या अरात्या वृको हि षः । धन्वन्न तृष्णा समरीत ताँ अभि सोम जहि पवमान दुराध्यः ॥
并且,自身的吝啬便成其敌;他人的吝啬便成其狼。它们如干旱之地上奔涌的渴旱,一齐蔓延——净化中的苏摩啊,击灭这些难以制御的势力。
Mantra 5
एवा त इन्दो सुभ्वं सुपेशसं रसं तुञ्जन्ति प्रथमा अभिश्रियः । निदंनिदं पवमान नि तारिष आविस्ते शुष्मो भवतु प्रियो मदः ॥
如此,因陀啊,最初的光辉榨取出你的精髓——吉祥、善美而端正。净化者啊,从层层境地引领我们渡过;愿你的威力显现,愿你可爱的醉悦在我们之中临在。
The deity is Soma Pavamāna—Soma as the purified, filtered, flowing draught (Indu/Indavaḥ) that brings vitality, inspiration, and protective power.
It asks Soma to spread nourishment and right impulses, help inspired thought win gains, and destroy obstructive forces like withholding, hostility, and predatory harm.
Because Soma’s physical filtering in the ritual symbolizes a clarifying power: as Soma becomes pure, the mind and community are prayed to become strong, prosperous, and protected from inner and outer negativity.
