印度教与印度文学关系探讨

On the Relationship between Hinduism and Indian Literature

印度民族是宗教思想和宗教意识极其强烈的民族,其文化心态和文学追求在很大程度上是宗教性的,印度教尊奉的《吠陀》、《奥义书》和《薄迦梵歌》、《摩奴法典》等圣典,其本身即是印度民族文学体系中的精华所在;印度教信仰的三大主神为印度文学提供了恒定的主题;印度教的“三界”观念与印度文学创作中的空间模式密契吻合,印度教作为印度文化体系的思想核心,对印度文学的影响是巨大的。

India is a nation with passionate religious thoughts and awareness. Indian cultural mood and literary pursuit are religious to a great extent. The classics of Hinduism such as Veda, Upannisad, Bhagavadgita and Manava-dharmasastya are the essence of the literature of the Indian nation. The three gods worshipped by Hinduism provide the Indian literature with an eternal theme, and the space model of the Indian literary creation conforms to the Hindu concept of the three kingdoms. As the ideology of the Indian cul-tural system, Hinduism has exerted a powerful influence upon the Indian culture.
