Guṇa–Ritual–Immanence Teaching
वायुर्वेगेन महता रथस्य पुरतो ववौ । कुर्वन्नि:शर्करं मार्ग विरजस्कमकण्टकम्,उनके रथके आगे बड़े वेगसे हवा आती और रास्तेकी धूल, कंकण तथा काँटोंको उड़ाकर अलग कर देती थी
vāyur vegena mahatā rathasya purato vavau | kurvann iḥśarkaraṁ mārgaṁ virajaskam akaṇṭakam ||
বৈশম্পায়ন বললেন—রথের সম্মুখে প্রবল বেগে বায়ু বইল, যা পথকে কাঁকরমুক্ত, ধূলিহীন ও কণ্টকমুক্ত করে দিচ্ছিল।
