Shloka 23
वेदे चास्य विदुर्विप्रा: शतरुद्रीयमुत्तमम् । व्यासेनोक्तं च यच्चापि उपस्थानं महात्मन:
vede cāsya vidur viprāḥ śatarudrīyam uttamam | vyāsenoktaṃ ca yac cāpi upasthānaṃ mahātmanaḥ ||
Los brāhmaṇas eruditos, versados en el Veda, lo conocen por el excelente Śatarudrīya, donde se proclaman sus muchos nombres sublimes. Y el gran sabio Vyāsa también enseñó el himno de reverente adoración ofrecido a ese Señor de gran alma (Śiva).

Educational Q&A
True knowledge and devotion are grounded in authoritative transmission: the Veda (Śatarudrīya) and Vyāsa’s instruction both affirm Śiva’s greatness and provide sanctioned forms of worship and praise.
Vāyudeva points to two sources that proclaim Śiva: the Vedic Śatarudrīya known by Veda-knowing Brahmins, and a specific hymn of worship taught by Vyāsa, thereby validating Śiva’s veneration through revered textual traditions.
