Ṛśyaśṛṅgopākhyāna-praveśaḥ — Lomāśa narrates the origins of Ṛśyaśṛṅga and the Anga drought (ऋश्यशृङ्गोपाख्यान-प्रवेशः)
वायुर्नित्यं ववौ तत्र नित्यं देवश्न वर्षति । स्वाध्यायघोषश्न तथा श्रूयते न च दृश्यते

vāyur nityaṁ vavau tatra nityaṁ devaśna varṣati |
svādhyāyaghoṣaś ca tathā śrūyate na ca dṛśyate ||
তাত বায়ু সদায় বয়, আৰু দেৱবৃষ্টিো অবিৰত পৰে। তেনেদৰে স্বাধ্যায়ৰ ধ্বনি শুনা যায়, কিন্তু পাঠ কৰা লোকক দেখা নাযায়।

Educational Q&A
The verse evokes a sanctified environment where nature and the unseen uphold dharma: ceaseless wind and divine rain accompany the audible presence of svādhyāya, suggesting that Vedic discipline and sacred order can be powerfully present even when the agents (reciters/ṛṣis) are not visible.
Vaiśampāyana describes a particular place marked by continuous wind and divine rainfall, and by the mysterious sound of Vedic recitation that can be heard though no reciters are seen—indicating an extraordinary, possibly hermitage-like or otherworldly setting.
