Shloka 25
प्रथमो होष देवानां मुखादग्निमजीजनत् । ग्रहैर्बहुविधै: प्राणान् संरुद्धानुत्सूजत्यपि
prathamo hi sa devānāṁ mukhād agnim ajījanat | grahair bahuvidhaiḥ prāṇān saṁruddhān utsṛjati api ||
Vāyu-dewa berkata: “Dialah yang terdepan di antara para dewa; dari mulutnya sendiri ia melahirkan Api. Bahkan makhluk yang napas hidupnya tercekik oleh beragam gangguan planet—ia membebaskan mereka, memberi kelegaan dari derita.”
