ヴァーユ神は言った。「触によって知られる性質は、乾・冷・熱・潤（油のごとき滑らかさ）・清澄であると説かれる。このように、成就したバラモンたち—ダルマを知り、真実を観る賢者—が、法にかなって風の触性の詳説を正しく示したのである。」
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames sensory experience (especially touch) as analyzable into distinct qualities and presents this analysis as a disciplined, authoritative teaching transmitted by realized and dharma-knowing sages—linking correct knowledge of nature with ethical and scriptural order.
Vāyu-deva is speaking in a didactic context, enumerating and characterizing the tactile qualities associated with the wind principle, while affirming that such classification has been properly taught by accomplished Brahmin sages.
