Veda et Avesta: que faut-il se mettre dans l'esprit et où faut-il mettre son esprit pour sacrifier correctement?

Le sacrifice indo-iranien efficace, tel qu’on peut le reconstituer à partir du Rig-Veda et des textes en vieil avestique, implique principalement de la part des officiants, outre les gestes visibles et les offrandes matérielles, deux attitudes mentales distinctes mais complémentaires. La première, horizontale en quelque sorte, consiste à contrôler, par rapport aux normes mémorisées de génération en génération, le bon agencement des actes rituels terrestres au cours du temps afin que la structure du sacrifice ne perde pas son unité ; l’autre, verticale en quelque sorte, consiste à projeter son esprit, pour chaque étape du rite, au niveau des protagonistes du sacrifice archétypal, lequel se prolonge encore et toujours dans le ciel. En termes philosophiques, on pourrait dire qu’on a d’un côté la mémoire, d’un autre la réminiscence. C’est ainsi, par exemple, que l’immortelle bienfaisante Ārmaiti, identifiée à la terre dans l’Avesta, peut contraster avec le céleste Vohū Manas. À partir de cette distinction, on peut mettre fin au vague du terme « sagesse » lorsque l’on traduit des termes aussi centraux que le védique medhâ et l’avestique[ahura] mazdā.

Ritual formulae and ritual pragmatics in Veda and Avesta

We started focusing more intensely on the data of ritual poetry, the Yašts and the
Yajurveda. In particular, Indo-Iranianists began to concentrate on magical hymns of the Atharvaveda with the corresponding manuals on concomitant ritual actions like Kauśika Sūtra. Our material became especially rich after the discovery of new fragments of the Paippalāda-Atharvaveda and the editions of important Kāṇḍas of its Saṃhitā by Bhattacharya, Zehnder, Lubotsky and, most recently, Griffiths. What used to be considered isolated parallels, has now good chances, on an inter-textual level, to be situated in a common Indo-Iranian context. In this article, the author focuses on two important protective ‘military rituals’ and on the sacred texts that deal with them in Atharvaveda and Avesta.
