Shloka 42
ब्राह्मणपूजायां व्युष्टिः — Vyuṣṭi (Merit-Outcome) of Honoring Brāhmaṇas: Kṛṣṇa and Durvāsā
प्रकृति: सा मम परा न क्वचित् प्रतिहन्यते । न चात्मगतमैश्चूर्यमाश्षर्य प्रतिभाति मे
prakṛtiḥ sā mama parā na kvacit pratihanyate | na cātmagatam aiśvaryaṃ āścarya-pratibhāti me, maharṣayaḥ |
ヴァーユは言った。「我が至上の本性は、いずこにおいても妨げられぬ。また我が内に住する主宰の力も、偉大なる仙人たちよ、我には『驚異』とは映らぬ。汝らの臨在は神々のごとく神聖である。天にあれ地にあれ、驚異にして天上のものは、たとえ汝ら自身が見ずとも、我は直に見る。全知は我が最高の性向であり、どこでも阻まれない。されど善き人々の交わりにて語られ聞かれる言葉は信ずるに足り、石に刻まれた銘のごとく久しく地上に残る。」

Educational Q&A
Divine capacities (omniscience, lordship) may be natural and unimpeded for a deity, yet ethical authority is still grounded in the trustworthy speech of the virtuous; what the good proclaim is to be relied upon and has lasting force, like an inscription on stone.
Vāyudeva addresses assembled great seers, acknowledging their divine presence and stating his own unobstructed higher nature and innate sovereignty. He then emphasizes that, despite his direct knowledge of wondrous things in heaven and on earth, the testimony heard among righteous people remains especially credible and enduring.
