普庵咒悉曇梵音之探討：以《五知齋琴譜》〈釋談章〉打譜為例

〈普庵咒〉的流傳早於南宋普庵禪師之年代，而〈普庵咒〉的古琴曲有可能是普庵禪師譜曲流傳於後世，目前〈普庵咒〉古琴曲譜最早可追溯到明代。古琴曲〈普庵咒〉的文詞，依「五音事圖」，第一句字頭至第五句字頭依次為「迦」、「遮」、「吒」、「多」、「波」。即悉曇（亦即梵語字母）五音，就是喉腭舌齒脣五類聲的五個基本輔音。〈普庵咒〉整體結構屬簡單的儀軌形式。為古代學習梵字拼音（即悉曇梵音）的曲譜。本論文以探究〈普庵咒〉的悉曇梵音為主題，透過〈普庵咒〉陀羅尼（dhāranī，即咒語，意譯為真言）的梵唱，其具備強大信息能量的音聲共振波，能與宇宙萬物和諧共振，其功德不可思議。本論文的悉曇梵音是由真言宗釋一吉阿闍黎指導，由筆者根據《五知齋琴譜》〈釋談章〉打譜並以古琴梵音彈唱。

Pu-An Zhou (the incantation of Monk Pu-An) can be traced back to the time earlier than Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), when Monk Pu-An (1115-1169) was alive. Although the present guqin score of Pu-An Zhou can only date back to the Ming Dynasty (1369-1644), it was likely composed and passed down by Monk Pu-An in the Song Dynasty. In the guqin song of Pu-An Zhou, the lyric of the first sentence starts with the sound ka; the sounds ca, ta, ta, and pa appear in the beginning of the following four sentences. These are the five basic guttural, palatal, retroflex, dental and labial consonants in Siddham (a written form of Sanskrit). Pu-An Zhou has a simple structure to follow. Thus, it served as a chant for people to learn Siddhaj in the past. The present study investigates the Siddhaj sounds of Pu-An Zhou. Singing the dhāranī (ritual speech or mantra) in Pu-An Zhou in the language of Sanskrit can produce a great energy of resonance waves of sounds which allows one to resonate harmoniously with all things in the universe. The merits and virtues are unfathomable. The pronunciation of Siddham in this paper was instructed by Acarya Shi Yiji, and the guqin score based on Shi Tan Zhang in Wu Zhi Zhai Qinpu was reconstructed and played and sung in Sanskrit by the writer of the study.
