Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
सर्वाशयो दर्भचारी सर्वेषां प्राणिनां पति: । देवदेव: सुखासक्त: सदसत्सर्वरत्नवित्
sarvāśayo darbha-cārī sarveṣāṁ prāṇināṁ patiḥ | deva-devaḥ sukhāsaktaḥ sad-asat-sarva-ratna-vit ||
風神ヴァーユは言った。「彼は万有の依り処。聖なるダルバ草(darbha)の上に置かれた供物(havis)を受け取る者。すべての生きとし生けるものの主、神々の神。自らの至福の本性に常に安住し、有と無をともに知り、あらゆる宝を見分ける方である。」
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse praises the Supreme as the universal refuge and lord, simultaneously present in ritual worship (receiving offerings) and transcendent in nature (abiding in bliss), with complete knowledge of reality and unreality (sat/asat) and of all precious excellences.
Vāyu is speaking a eulogy-like description, listing honorific epithets that define the deity’s sovereignty, ritual accessibility, and metaphysical supremacy—typical of Anuśāsana Parva’s didactic passages on dharma and worship.
