The Origin of Dhanada (Kubera) from Vāyu and the Observance of the Ekādaśī Vow
ब्रह्मणः सृष्टिकामस्य मुखाद् वायुर् विनिर्ययौ । प्रचण्डशर्करावर्षी तं ब्रह्मा प्रत्यषेधयत् । मूर्तो भवस्व शान्तश्च तत्रोक्तो मूर्तिमान् भवत् ॥ ३०.४ ॥
brahmaṇaḥ sṛṣṭikāmasya mukhād vāyur viniryayau | pracaṇḍaśarkarāvarṣī taṃ brahmā pratyaṣedhayat | mūrto bhavasva śāntaś ca tatrokto mūrtimān bhavat || 30.4 ||
ब्रह्मा ने जब दुनिया बनाना चाहा, उनके मुँह से वायु निकला। वो बहुत तेज़ था, पत्थर बरसा रहा था। ब्रह्मा ने उसे रोका और कहा, शांत हो जा, शरीर ले ले। तब वायु ने शरीर ले लिया।
