ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
यद्यप्यहमदृष्टं वो दिव्यमद्भुतदर्शनम् | दिवि वा भुवि वा किंचित् पश्याम्यमरदर्शना:
yady apy aham adṛṣṭaṃ vo divyam adbhuta-darśanam | divi vā bhuvi vā kiṃcit paśyāmy amara-darśanāḥ ||
Vāyu said: “Although you have not seen it, I behold directly whatever is divine and wondrous to see—whether in heaven or on earth. Such all-knowing vision is my natural excellence; it is never obstructed. Yet my own lordly power does not appear to me as something astonishing. Still, what is spoken and heard among the ears of the virtuous is worthy of trust, and it endures long upon the earth like a line carved in stone.”

Educational Q&A
Extraordinary powers or knowledge need not produce pride; more importantly, the words that circulate among the truly virtuous are reliable and leave a lasting moral imprint—like an inscription on stone—shaping dharma in the world.
Vāyu speaks to revered seers, asserting his unobstructed divine perception of wondrous realities in heaven and on earth, while emphasizing that trustworthy tradition and testimony among good people endure and guide conduct.
