这首简短的帕瓦玛那赞歌颂扬苏摩有生命的“波涛”,奔涌穿过净滤而入于因陀罗之中,使他振奋,得以凯旋施惠,并赐下光明与财富。继而转为直接祈祷:祈求已净化的苏摩“散布”财宝,增强生命力与澄明的洞见,并使兴盛常在身旁。末尾以广泛的祝圣作结,邀请天地、阿底提耶诸神以及一切神明,共同欢喜于这净化的苏摩。

Mantras

Mantra 1

प्र सोमस्य पवमानस्योर्मय इन्द्रस्य यन्ति जठरं सुपेशसः । दध्ना यदीमुन्नीता यशसा गवां दानाय शूरमुदमन्दिषुः सुताः ॥

苏摩在净化中,其波涛奔涌向前;形相端美,趋入因陀罗之腹。彼等以凝乳之厚润被举起,榨取而出,使英雄欢悦,为赐下光之牛群(光辉的光线);以荣耀之力,将他高高举升。

Mantra 2

अच्छा हि सोमः कलशाँ असिष्यददत्यो न वोळ्हा रघुवर्तनिर्वृषा । अथा देवानामुभयस्य जन्मनो विद्वाँ अश्नोत्यमुत इतश्च यत् ॥

诚然,苏摩疾驰向诸罐,如迅马负载而行;如公牛,驰道迅捷。于是,知者得享诸神两重出生之所归——彼岸之物,与此岸之物。

Mantra 3

आ नः सोम पवमानः किरा वस्विन्दो भव मघवा राधसो महः । शिक्षा वयोधो वसवे सु चेतुना मा नो गयमारे अस्मत्परा सिचः ॥

来吧,向我们,噢净化中的苏摩,散洒存在之财;噢因度(Indu),为我们成为广施的大赐者。以清明之见教导我们生命与力量的增长;莫将我们的所得倾注到远离我们之处。

Mantra 4

आ नः पूषा पवमानः सुरातयो मित्रो गच्छन्तु वरुणः सजोषसः । बृहस्पतिर्मरुतो वायुरश्विना त्वष्टा सविता सुयमा सरस्वती ॥

愿普善(Pūṣan)与净化的苏摩(Soma)同来临于我等——那善施的赐予者;愿密特罗(Mitra)与伐楼那(Varuṇa)同心同德而来。愿布里哈斯帕提(Bṛhaspati)、马鲁特(Maruts)、伐由(Vāyu)、阿湿毗那双神(Aśvins)、特瓦什特里(Tvaṣṭṛ)、萨维特里(Savitṛ)、苏雅玛(Su-yamā)、萨拉斯瓦蒂(Sarasvatī)皆近前。

Mantra 5

उभे द्यावापृथिवी विश्वमिन्वे अर्यमा देवो अदितिर्विधाता । भगो नृशंस उर्वन्तरिक्षं विश्वे देवाः पवमानं जुषन्त ॥

愿驱动万有的天与地;愿神阿梨耶曼(Aryaman)与阿底提(Aditi)——那安排者;愿薄伽(Bhaga)、尼利尚萨(Nṛśaṃsa)与广阔的中空界——愿一切诸神皆悦纳这净化的苏摩(Soma)。

Frequently Asked Questions

The hymn addresses Soma in his purified form (Soma Pavamāna/Indu). It especially highlights Soma’s role in empowering Indra, while ending with an all-gods (Viśvedevas) appreciation of Soma.

In ritual language it describes the purified Soma drink being offered to Indra, which ‘fills’ him with exhilaration and strength. Symbolically it suggests purified energy entering the power of action and victory.

It asks Soma to scatter wealth and plenitude, increase life and strength, grant clear insight, and keep one’s gains close—so prosperity is not ‘poured away’ far from the worshipper.
