Educational Q&A
True divine greatness combines absolute sovereignty (creator, lord of beings, controller of all) with freedom from vanity and even a voluntary ‘dependence’ on devotees—showing that humility and devotion are not opposed to power but are its highest expression.
Vāyu is reciting a sequence of epithets—praise-names describing the supreme deity’s qualities—moving from ethical traits (non-ostentation, favor toward the humble, responsiveness to devotees) to cosmic functions (Time as Kali, creation, lordship over beings) and transcendence of bodily needs.
