The Wheel of Time and the Norms of the Āśramas
भयमोहपरीवारं भूतसम्मोहकारकम् | आनन्दप्रीतिचारं च कामक्रोधपरिग्रहम्
bhaya-moha-parīvāraṃ bhūta-sammohakārakam | ānanda-prīti-cāraṃ ca kāma-krodha-parigraham
বায়ুদেব বললেন—এটি ভয় ও মোহে পরিবেষ্টিত, এবং জীবদের বিভ্রমের কারণ হয়। এটি আনন্দ ও স্নেহের ছদ্মবেশে বিচরণ করে, কিন্তু প্রকৃতপক্ষে কাম ও ক্রোধে আবদ্ধ।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Vāyu warns that certain inner impulses can masquerade as happiness and affection, but their hidden roots are fear, delusion, desire, and anger; ethical living therefore requires discernment and self-control rather than trusting pleasant appearances.
In this passage Vāyu-deva speaks as a moral instructor, characterizing a harmful force (a passion or temptation) by listing its symptoms and effects: it confuses beings, presents itself attractively, and is fundamentally driven by kāma and krodha.
