Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
विष्णुप्रसादितो यज्ञ: समुद्रो वडवामुख: । हुताशनसहायश्च प्रशान्तात्मा हुताशन:
viṣṇuprasādito yajñaḥ samudro vaḍavāmukhaḥ | hutāśanasahāyaś ca praśāntātmā hutāśanaḥ ||
風神ヴāユは言った。「ヤジュニャ（供犠）、大海、馬面の海底火（ヴァダヴァームカ）、火の助け手にして友である風、そして火そのもの——これらはすべて、ヴィシュヌの恩寵によって支えられ、その力を成し遂げ、静謐なる性に安住する。」

Educational Q&A
Even mighty cosmic forces and sacred institutions—sacrifice, oceanic power, and the elements like wind and fire—operate rightly and bear fruit through Viṣṇu’s favor; this frames dharma as ultimately grounded in divine support rather than mere human effort.
Vāyu is enumerating revered cosmic forms and elemental powers, identifying them as ‘made effective by Viṣṇu’s grace,’ thereby emphasizing Viṣṇu’s sustaining presence behind ritual (yajña) and the natural order (ocean, submarine fire, wind, fire).
