Way(i)n metaforu və yajna

Əgər way(i)n variantının daha əvvəlki mətnlərdə olmasını nəzərə alsaq, sözünün məhz tərcüməsində fərqlər vasitəsi ilə bu günkü fərqli terminlərdən danışmaq olar. Iadizm Bibliyasında yayin funksiyalarından biri, islam poeziyasında olduğu kimi “müdriklik içkisi ” ((Proverbs 9:2,5, müqaiyisə üçün Isaiah 55:1); Yemeyiyanın qəzəbi (Jeremiah 25:15 (כּוֺס היין);.. Babilin şiddətləndililmiş gücü (Jeremiah 51:7); Məhəbbət nəğmələrində (of love Songs 5:1); sözlərlə bərabər bir partlama təsiri olan (Əyyub-Job 32:19); sevgi yayın-şərabdan yaxşıdır (Cant 1:2; 4:10.”).⁸  One of the function oy yayin in Hebrew Bible is the “metaphor of wisdom's drink (Proverbs 9:2,5, compare Isaiah 55:1); … like a wine-shouter Psalm 78:65; of Babylon's fierce power Jeremiah 51:7; of love Songs 5:1; יֵין חֲמָסִים Proverbs 4:17; in simile of one bursting with words Job 32:19; of disheartened prophet Jeremiah 23:9 (כְּגֶבֶר עֲבָרוֺיַיִן); of lover's mouth Cant 7:10 (see above); love is better than wine Cant 1:2; 4:10.”⁹ 

Way(i)n terminin oxşarını Hind subkontinentində Vedizm’də qurban və ibadət mərasimini bildirən və Sanscritdəki yajña sözündə də tapmaq olar¹⁰. Bu qurbanlar arasında soma və ya meyvə suyu da var. Burada yajña həm də Vişnu allahının avaratarı hesab olunur: “Manvantara-avatara. Special incarnations of the Supreme Lord who appear in each manvantara to assist Indra and the other demigods...and maintaining the princioples of religion- Innumerable manu avatars (504,000 Manus manifest in the lifetime of one Brahma):Main 14 also called as valbhava-avatars: Yajna...”¹¹ RG – man -avatar of the God; Brahmas is only and alone; manu is the LIFE circle of he Brahma (as Jesus Christ role); wine is a symbol of Jesus (life circle of the Holy Father-Jesus is his son in Christianity)
“There are two important propositions regarding the ‘supremacy’ of cult in the Vedic life: 1. For the Vedic people, yajna is not just means to attain some desired end, but it is the ‘end itself’, 2. For the Vedic people, yajna is not only a ‘redemptive act’ as in other religions but it is also the ‘creative act.’ “Yajna was the soul of Veda.” 54 Sacrifice is known in Sanskrit as ‘yajna.’55 The word yajna is derived from the root ‘yaj’ which means to ‘worship’, to ‘sacrifice’, to ‘bestow’. The worship can be in the form of oblations, a sacrifice unto gods.”¹² (Kolamkuzhyyil, 2008)
Another routing of this symbol could be traced in the word ot+vedat ’(in Russian), where the root of veda (to know, knowledge in Russian), along with the prefix ot- means to know from experience, to experience. Communion or The Blessed or Holy Sacrament (sharing wine and bread as symbol for blood and flesh of Jesus, God’s son) - Pri+chash+eniye (to be a part – in Russian chast’).
The meaning of knowledge - comprehension of truth (soul of Veda- Russian ved+at’- to know and to led) - of God himself in Sanskrit is reflected in the semiotics of the word yajna. This semiotics is one of the ways which makes it possible to understand the origin of the şərab’s (bad water, which obviously is the later meaning-analogue for yajna) sacredness as a symbol in classical Islamic poetry - the theory of Sufism.
