風神ヴァーユは言った。「彼は恐るべき相を帯び、偉大なる苦行を成す者。己が威力の縄にて衆生を縛る。彼は常住にして、山に住み（カイラーサに坐し）、虚空のごとく広大である。千の手を具え勝利し、決意は堅く、怠りを知らぬ。」

Educational Q&A
The verse praises a divine figure through ethical-ascetic ideals: enduring tapas, unwavering resolve (vyavasāya), and tireless vigilance (atandrita). It implies that true power is grounded in discipline and steadfastness, not in laziness or wavering intent.
Vāyudeva is describing (eulogizing) a formidable, eternal, mountain-abiding deity with vast, sky-like presence and immense capability (thousand hands), emphasizing his victorious nature and determined, untiring conduct.
