Shloka 19
Adhyāya 22: Śālva’s Weapon-Shower, Dāruka’s Wounding, and the Māyā-Report of Vasudeva’s Father
मेघजालमिवाकाशे विदार्यभ्युदितं रविम् । दृष्टवा मां बान्धवा: सर्वे हर्षमाहारयन् पुन:,जैसे आकाशमें बादलोंके समुदायको छिन्न-भिन्न करके सूर्य उदित होता है, उसी प्रकार शिलाखण्डोंको हटाकर मुझे प्रकट हुआ देख मेरे सभी बन्धु-बान्धब पुनः हर्षसे खिल उठे
meghajālam ivākāśe vidāryābhyuditaṃ ravim | dṛṣṭvā māṃ bāndhavāḥ sarve harṣam āhārayan punaḥ ||
ヴァーユは言った。「空の雲の群れを裂いて太陽が昇るように、石の板が取り除かれて我が姿が現れたとき、我が一族は我を見て、ふたたび歓喜に満たされた。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how obstruction and concealment can be temporary: when impediments are removed, truth and well-being become evident, bringing renewed joy. It uses a natural image—sun emerging after clouds are torn apart—to convey hope and restoration.
Vāyu describes being revealed after stones/rock-slabs were moved away. Upon seeing him appear, all his relatives (bāndhava-s) rejoice again, likened to the sun appearing when a cloud-mass is split.
