karṇikāra-mahāsragvī nīla-mauliḥ pināka-dhṛt | umāpatir umākānto jāhnavī-dhṛd umādhavaḥ ||
風神ヴァーユは言った。「カルニカーラの花の大いなる花鬘をまとい、頭には濃紺の頂宝を戴き、ピナーカの弓を執る者。ウマーの主（ウマーパティ）にしてウマーの愛しき者、ジャーフナヴィー（ガンガー）を頭上に戴く者、ウマーの夫（ウマーダヴァ）である。」

Educational Q&A
The verse models devotional recollection through a chain of epithets: by remembering the deity’s attributes—beauty (garland), sovereignty (crown), power (Pināka), and sanctity/ascetic mastery (bearing Gaṅgā)—one cultivates reverence and steadiness of mind.
Vāyu is speaking a stuti-like passage, identifying Śiva through characteristic titles and symbols. Rather than advancing plot, the verse functions as a devotional description that situates Śiva’s identity and greatness within the discourse of Anuśāsana Parva.
