विष्णोर्नि:श्वासवातो5यं यदा वेगसमीरित: । सहसोदीर्यते तात जगत् प्रव्यथते तदा,“तात! यह भगवान् विष्णुका नि:श्वास है। जब कभी सहसा वह नि:श्वास वेगसे निकल पड़ता है, उस समय यह सारा जगत् व्यथित हो उठता है
viṣṇor niḥśvāsavāto ’yaṃ yadā vegasamīritaḥ | sahasodīryate tāta jagat pravyathate tadā ||
Wahai anakku, inilah angin yang merupakan hembusan napas Dewa Viṣṇu. Setiap kali hembusan itu tiba-tiba meluap dengan kuat, seluruh jagat terguncang dan diliputi kegelisahan.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse stresses the overwhelming sovereignty of the divine: even what seems like a natural force is portrayed as Viṣṇu’s breath, reminding the listener that the cosmos depends on and is moved by a higher power.
Bhīṣma, in instruction during Śānti Parva, explains to his listener that a mighty wind (or cosmic disturbance) is to be understood as arising from Viṣṇu’s exhalation; when it suddenly intensifies, the entire world becomes agitated.
