摘要
古印度生命的基本形而上学框架，圣水(paviṭra jala)和“水本身就是生命”(jala hji van hai)的概念，可以用两个城市的案例研究来说明。自公元前1000年以来，瓦拉纳西和阿约提亚一直被誉为印度的救世神圣遗产城市，以其与圣水和水池相关的仪式景观而闻名。根据古代的论文和传说，这些城市中有54个神圣的坦克(kunds)和井(kūpas)，它们成为虔诚的印度教徒进行净化仪式、朝圣、治疗和节日庆祝的重要场所。在提供了对神圣水池的描述之后，这篇文章部分地探讨了两个城市中与太阳神神圣水池有关的传统。更广泛地说，本文利用古代文献、目前的参与性调查和民族学叙述，考虑了这些圣城中长期存在的水池的神圣性以及涉及它们的当前发展战略。
Sacred Water Pools of Hindu Sacredscapes in North India
The basic metaphysical frame of life in ancient India, that of sacred water (paviṭra jala) and the notion that “Water itself is life” (jala hī jivan hai), can be illustrated with case studies of two cities. Settled continuously since 1000 BCE, the cities of Varanasi and Ayodhya have been eulogized as the salvific holy-heritage cities in India known for their ritualscapes associated with sacred waters and pools. According to the ancient treatises and tales, there were fifty-four sacred tanks (kunds) and wells (kūpas) in each of these cities, and they became important sites for purification rituals, pilgrimage, healing and festive celebration by devout Hindus. After providing descriptions of the sacred water pools, this essay in part explores traditions associated with a water-pool sacred to the Sun god in both the cities. More broadly, using ancient texts, present participatory surveys, and ethnological narration, the essay considers the long-lived sacrality of water pools in these holy cities and current development strategies involving them.
