Shloka 32
ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
व्रतचर्यापरीतस्य तपस्विव्रतसेवया । मम वह्लि: समुदभूतो न वै व्यथितुमर्हथ
vratacaryāparītasya tapasvivratasevayā | mama vahliḥ samudabhūto na vai vyathitum arhatha ||
Dijo Vāyu: «Yo estaba por entero entregado a la observancia disciplinada del voto; y al practicar el voto seguido por los ascetas, mi propio resplandor espiritual se manifestó hacia afuera en forma de fuego. Por ello, no debéis afligiros ni turbaros por ello».

Educational Q&A
Disciplined vow-observance and ascetic practice generate tejas (spiritual potency) that can manifest powerfully; such manifestations should be understood as the natural fruit of tapas and not feared or resented.
Vāyu explains that the appearance of fire is not an external threat but the outward manifestation of his own radiance produced through strict observance of ascetic vows, and he reassures the listeners not to be distressed by it.
