Quand le vent souffle avec trop de violence, on ne doit étudier qu’un seul verset du Ṛg—ou une seule formule du Yajus, ou un seul Sāman. De même, aux jours d’Aṣṭakā et autres jours particuliers, la récitation doit être réduite au minimum.

FAQs
This verse does not directly teach ātma-tattva; it gives a dharmic discipline for svādhyāya—showing that spiritual pursuit is supported by regulated conduct and reverence for Vedic study.
The practice implied is niyama (discipline): regulating svādhyāya by reducing recitation under disruptive conditions (strong wind) and on specific observance days, aligning study with steadiness and ritual propriety.
It does not explicitly mention Śiva–Viṣṇu unity; it functions as a shared dharma framework within which the Kurma Purana’s broader Śaiva–Vaiṣṇava synthesis and Pāśupata-oriented teachings are situated.
