अध्याय १६ — शङ्कर-उमा-वरदानम् तथा तण्डि-स्तुतिः (Śaṅkara–Umā Boon-Granting and Taṇḍi’s Hymn)
देहकृद् देहभद् देही देहभुगदेहिनां गति: । प्राणकृत् प्राणभृत् प्राणी प्राणद: प्राणिनां गति:
dehakṛd dehabhṛd dehī dehabhug dehināṃ gatiḥ | prāṇakṛd prāṇabhṛt prāṇī prāṇadaḥ prāṇināṃ gatiḥ ||
قال فايُو-ديفا: «أنتَ صانعُ الأجساد ومُقيمُها؛ فلذلك تُدعى الذاتَ المتجسِّدة. أنتَ مُتنعِّمُ الجسد وغايةُ كلِّ ذي جسدٍ ومآله الأعلى. أنتَ مُنشِئُ الأنفاس الحيوية (برانا)، وحاملُ الحياة، ومبدأُ الحياة نفسه، وواهِبُ الحياة، والملجأُ الأخير والغايةُ النهائية لجميع الكائنات الحيّة.»

Educational Q&A
The verse identifies the supreme principle as the source, sustainer, and goal of embodied existence: it fashions and upholds the body, animates it through prāṇa, enables experience, and ultimately serves as the highest refuge (gati) for all beings.
Vāyu-deva is offering a hymn of praise, describing the addressed deity/principle in comprehensive terms—body, life-breath, living beings, and their final destination—thereby affirming divine immanence (within life) and transcendence (as the ultimate goal).
