Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
महद्विविंहितै: सत्यै: सिद्धैः सर्वार्थसाधकै: । ऋषिणा तण्डिना भवक्त्या कृतैर्वेदकृतात्मना
mahadvivimhitaiḥ satyaiḥ siddhaiḥ sarvārthasādhakaiḥ | ṛṣiṇā taṇḍinā bhaktyā kṛtair vedakṛtātmanā ||
Vāyu berkata: “Nama-nama ilahi ini luas dan beraneka; benar, terbukti, dan sanggup menuntaskan setiap tujuan yang mulia. Sang resi Taṇḍin, yang batinnya ditempa oleh Weda, menghimpunnya dengan penuh bhakti.”

Educational Q&A
That sacred names/hymns transmitted by authoritative seers and compiled with Vedic discipline and devotion are ‘satya’ (trustworthy) and ‘siddha’ (proven), and thus spiritually efficacious—capable of supporting legitimate human aims when approached reverently.
Vāyu is introducing a revered set of divine names (in context, a Śiva-stotra tradition) and legitimizing it by citing its compilation by the sage Taṇḍin, emphasizing its Vedic grounding, truth, and established power.
