何についての本か
『リグ・ヴェーダ』。インド最古の文書であり、世界でも最古の部類に属する。ヴェーダ語サンスクリットによる一〇二八の讃歌が、信じがたいほどの精確さで口伝えに伝えられてきた。
背景と歴史
成立は紀元前二千年紀ごろ。以後何世紀ものあいだ文字によらずに保たれた。祭官の家々が暗誦し、交差朗誦の技法によっていかなる誤りも検出できるようにしていた。我々が読む本文は、おそらくヨーロッパ中世の多くの写本より忠実である。讃歌はアグニ、インドラ、ヴァルナ、ソーマらへの呼びかけであり、火の祭祀のためのものだ。現代の読者を打つのはその異質さである。全体として復元するすべのない文化の文書であり、多くの箇所は古代インドの註釈家たちにさえ暗い。世界の起源をうたう名高い第一〇巻一二九歌は、こう結ばれる——おそらくは、天からそれを見下ろす神すら知らぬのだ、と。

CREATION 11 When they divided the Man, into how many parts did they apporOdh him? What do they call his mouth, his two arms and thighs and feet? , 12 His mouth became the Brahmin; his arms were made mto the Warrior, his thighs the People, and from his feet the Servants were born.^® 1} The moon was bom from his mind; from his eye the sun was bom. Indra and Agm came from his mouth, and from'his vital breath the Wmd was born. 14 From his navel the middle realm of space arose; from his head the sky evolved. From his two feet came the earth, and the quarters of the sky from his ear. Thus they set the worlds m order. ij There were seven enclosmg-sticks^'^ for him, and thrice seven fuel-sticks, when the gods, spreadmg the sacrifice, bound the Man as the sacrifiaal beast. 16 With the sacrifice the gods sacrificed to the sacrifice,^® These were the first ritual laws.^® These very powers reached the dome of the sky where dwell the Sadhyas,^® the anaent gods.…
