Shloka 266
स ददाति मनुष्येभ्य: स एवाक्षिपते पुन: । पुण्यात्मा और शरणागतवत्सल तो वे इतने हैं कि शरणमें आये हुए किसी प्राणीका त्याग नहीं करते। वे ही मनुष्योंको आयु
sa dadāti manuṣyebhyaḥ sa evākṣipate punaḥ | puṇyātmāḥ śaraṇāgatavatsalāś ca te itthaṃ śaraṇam āgatam api kaṃcana prāṇinaṃ na tyajanti | te eva manuṣyān āyuḥ ārogyaṃ aiśvaryaṃ dhanaṃ ca samastāḥ kāmanāś ca pradadati te eva punaḥ tāni apaharanti |
ヴāyu神は語った。人に与えるのは彼であり、また再び奪い取るのもただ彼である。帰依する者への慈しみは深く、庇護を求めて来た生きとし生けるものを、彼は決して見捨てない。人々に寿命、健康、王権、財宝、そして諸願の成就を授けるのも彼であり、時至ればそれらを引き上げるのも彼である。得失の背後にある神の主宰を悟り、運命が移ろうときも怨みなく帰依せよ、というのがこの教えである。

Educational Q&A
All worldly endowments—life, health, prosperity, wealth, and desired enjoyments—are granted by the Supreme and can be withdrawn by Him; therefore one should cultivate surrender, gratitude, and equanimity rather than pride in gain or bitterness in loss.
Vāyu-deva is instructing the listener about the Lord’s compassionate nature toward those who seek refuge and about the Lord’s ultimate control over human fortunes, emphasizing that divine giving and taking are part of a larger moral and cosmic order.
