Anuśāsana-parva 17
वाहिता सर्वभूतानां निलयश्व विभुर्भव: । अमोघ: संयतो ह्ुश्वो भोजन: प्राणधारण:
vāhitā sarvabhūtānāṁ nilayaś ca vibhur bhavaḥ | amoghaḥ saṁyato hy aśvo bhojanaḥ prāṇadhāraṇaḥ ||
قال فايُو-ديفا: «إنه حاملُ جميع الكائنات، وملجأُ كل مخلوق ومقامُه، شاملٌ لكل مكان، وهو مبدأ الوجود ذاته. لا تخيب قدرته، متحكّمٌ في نفسه، يتجلّى في صورة الجواد النبيل، واهبُ القوت، وحافظُ نَفَسِ الحياة في الجميع.»

Educational Q&A
The verse praises the divine as the universal support and refuge: omnipresent existence that never fails, sustains life, provides nourishment, and exemplifies self-restraint—linking cosmic power with ethical discipline.
Vāyu-deva is speaking in a laudatory passage, enumerating epithets that describe the deity’s cosmic functions (supporting beings, sustaining prāṇa, providing food) and manifestations (as a noble steed), as part of a broader instruction through praise.
