Devanagari script
जानामि त्वामहं वायो सर्वप्राणभूतां वरम् वरिष्ठ च गरिष्ठं च क्रोधे वैवस्वतं यथा,पवनदेव! मैं तुम्हें जानता हूँ। तुम समस्त प्राण-धारियोंमें श्रेष्ठ महान् एवं गौरवशाली हो त था क्रोधमें वैवस्वत यमके समान हो
Transliteration
jānāmi tvām ahaṃ vāyo sarva-prāṇa-bhūtānāṃ varam | variṣṭhaṃ ca gariṣṭhaṃ ca krodhe vaivasvataṃ yathā ||
Translation
Nārada said: “O Vāyu, I know you well. Among all beings that live by breath you are the foremost—supremely excellent and most weighty in power and dignity; and when angered, you are like Vaivasvata Yama in your inexorable force.”
