ພະວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ຈົ່ງຮູ້ວ່າ ແຜ່ນດິນມີຄຸນສົມບັດຫ້າ. ນາງເປັນພະລັງເທວະ ເຕັມໄປດ້ວຍສັດທີ່ເຄື່ອນໄຫວ ແລະ ບໍ່ເຄື່ອນໄຫວ; ນາງໃຫ້ກຳເນີດແກ່ສັດທັງປວງ ແລະ ດ້ວຍລະບຽບຂອງນາງກັບຜົນຕາມມາ ນາງເຮັດໃຫ້ປະຈັກວ່າສິ່ງໃດເປັນມົງຄຸນ ແລະ ສິ່ງໃດບໍ່ເປັນມົງຄຸນ».
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents Earth as a divine, life-bearing principle endowed with five qualities, and as a field where auspicious and inauspicious results become visible—implying a moral-causal order (dharma/karma) manifested through lived consequences.
Vāyudeva is speaking in a didactic context, describing the nature of Earth: she contains both moving and unmoving beings, generates all creatures, and serves as the arena in which signs and outcomes reveal what is beneficial or harmful.
