rājanyā rājakaṇyāś ca āpāyanayantu tvābhiṣecanam; bahavaḥ rājaputrā rājakaṇyāś ca tubhyaṃ suvarṇa-rūpya-mṛṇmaya-kalaśān, auṣadha-samūhān, sarva-vidha-bījāni, samagrāṇi ratnāni, latādayaś cābhiṣeka-sāmagrīṃ gṛhītvā āgamiṣyanti.
Dijo Vāyu: «Que los príncipes y las doncellas reales traigan para ti la consagración. Muchos hijos e hijas de reyes vendrán por tu causa, llevando vasijas de oro, de plata y de barro, junto con colecciones de hierbas curativas, semillas de toda clase, conjuntos completos de gemas, y enredaderas y demás: todo cuanto requiere el rito de la unción.»

Educational Q&A
Legitimate rule is affirmed through dharmic procedure: public, auspicious consecration supported by the wider polity. The verse emphasizes orderly recognition and ritual propriety over mere power.
Vāyudeva foretells or instructs that royal sons and daughters will arrive bringing all items needed for an abhiṣeka—vessels, herbs, seeds, gems, and plants—signaling a formal, widely endorsed elevation of the addressed person.
