Anuśāsana-parva 17
योगी योज्यो महाबीजो महारेता महाबल: । सुवर्णरिता: सर्वज्ञ: सुबीजो बीजवाहन:
yogī yojyo mahābījo mahāretā mahābalaḥ | suvarṇaretāḥ sarvajñaḥ subījo bījavāhanaḥ ||
ヴァーユ神は語った。「彼は真のヨーギー、心の支えとして結び合わせるべき者。大いなる種子——広大なる因の源——であり、強大な生成の力と大いなる力を具える。その種子は火のごとく黄金に輝く。彼は一切を知る。彼は善き種子そのものであり、また種子を担う者——衆生の内に潜むサンスカーラ（潜在印象）を携え、それを熟して各々の生へと結実させる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse praises the supreme principle as the inner support of yoga and as the causal ‘seed’ behind creation and experience. Ethically, it frames spiritual discipline as aligning the mind with that highest source, while recognizing that beings carry latent karmic impressions (bīja/saṃskāra) that shape their conduct and destiny.
Vāyu-deva is speaking in a laudatory, doctrinal mode, listing exalted epithets of the supreme being. The focus is not on external action but on identifying divine attributes—power, purity, omniscience, and the role of sustaining and carrying the karmic ‘seeds’ within living beings.
