Rudra–Brahmā Saṃvāda
अन्तरिक्षचर: श्रीमान् समग्रबलवाहन: । त॑ दृष्टवा सहसा<<यान्तं वसुं ते त्वन्तरिक्षगम्,श्रीमान् राजा उपरिचर अपनी सेना और वाहनोंके साथ आकाशमार्गसे चलते थे। उन अन्तरिक्षचारी वसुको सहसा आते देख ब्रह्मर्षियोंने देवताओंसे कहा--'ये नरेश हमलोगोंका संदेह दूर कर देंगे; क्योंकि ये यज्ञ करनेवाले, दानपति, श्रेष्ठ तथा सम्पूर्ण भूतोंके हितैषी एवं प्रिय हैं
Antarikṣacaraḥ śrīmān samagrabalavāhanaḥ | taṃ dṛṣṭvā sahasā yāntaṃ vasuṃ te tv antarikṣagam ||
Bhīṣma said: “That illustrious Vasu—moving through the mid-air, endowed with complete forces and conveyances—was seen approaching swiftly through the sky. On seeing that aerial-moving Vasu suddenly coming near, the brahmarṣis spoke to the gods: ‘This king will remove our doubt, for he is a performer of sacrifices, a generous giver, eminent, and a well-wisher and beloved of all beings.’”
