Anuśāsana-parva 17
गभस्ति््रह्यकृद् ब्रद्मी ब्रद्मविद् ब्राह्मणो गति: । अनन्तरूपो नैकात्मा तिग्मतेजा: स्वयम्भुव:
gabhastir brahmakṛd brahmī brahmavid brāhmaṇo gatiḥ | anantarūpo naikātmā tigmtejāḥ svayambhuvaḥ ||
ヴァーユは言った。「彼は太陽のごとき光輝、ブラフマン（ヴェーダ）を顕わす者、ヴェーダを誦する者、ヴェーダの義を知る者、ブラフマンに住する聖者、そしてブラフマンに確立した者たちの至上の到達点である。彼は無尽の形相を具え、一つの身に閉じこめられず、烈々たる光威を放つ—自存の者である。」

Educational Q&A
The verse exalts the supreme principle as the source and knower of Vedic revelation and as the highest refuge (gati) for those established in Brahman, emphasizing both transcendent knowledge (brahmavit) and immanent multiplicity (anantarūpa, naikātmā).
Vāyu is delivering a eulogy-like description of the supreme being, listing epithets that connect cosmic radiance (Sun-like splendor) with scriptural authority (Vedas/Brahman) and the ultimate spiritual destination for seekers.
