Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
वणिजो वर्धकी वृक्षो बकुलश्चन्दनश्छद: । सारग्रीवो महाजत्रुरलोलश्व महौषध:
vāyudeva uvāca | vaṇijo vardhakī vṛkṣo bakulaś candanaś chadaḥ | sāraghrīvo mahājatrur alolaśva mahauṣadhaḥ ||
風神ヴァーユは言った。「（彼は）商人として、木を伐る大工として、また木そのものとして現れる。バクーラ樹（bakula）とも白檀の樹ともなり、広く覆う天蓋の陰ともなる。彼は頸太く、胸広く、揺るがず動ぜず、そして大いなる霊薬の草である。」

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes divine pervasiveness: the sacred can be recognized in everyday professions (trade, carpentry), in nature (trees, shade), and in virtues like steadiness, as well as in the power to heal. Ethically, it encourages reverence toward work, the natural world, and healing as expressions of dharma.
Vāyu-deva is speaking and describing a being (or principle) through a chain of epithets and identifications—listing forms and qualities such as merchant, carpenter, various trees, canopy, strong-necked, broad-chested, unwavering, and great medicine—creating a portrait of a pervasive, beneficent presence.
