ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā

यद्यप्यहमदृष्टं वो दिव्यमद्भुतदर्शनम्‌ | दिवि वा भुवि वा किंचित्‌ पश्याम्यमरदर्शना:

yady apy aham adṛṣṭaṃ vo divyam adbhuta-darśanam | divi vā bhuvi vā kiṃcit paśyāmy amara-darśanāḥ ||

Vāyu dit : «Bien que vous ne l’ayez pas vu, je contemple directement tout ce qui est divin et merveilleux à voir—au ciel comme sur la terre. Une telle vision omnisciente est mon excellence naturelle ; elle n’est jamais entravée. Pourtant, ma propre puissance souveraine ne m’apparaît pas comme une chose étonnante. Néanmoins, ce qui est dit et reçu aux oreilles des vertueux est digne de foi, et demeure longtemps sur la terre comme une ligne gravée dans la pierre.»

Educational Q&A

Extraordinary powers or knowledge need not produce pride; more importantly, the words that circulate among the truly virtuous are reliable and leave a lasting moral imprint—like an inscription on stone—shaping dharma in the world.

Vāyu speaks to revered seers, asserting his unobstructed divine perception of wondrous realities in heaven and on earth, while emphasizing that trustworthy tradition and testimony among good people endure and guide conduct.
