വായു പറഞ്ഞു—“ഹേ ജനേശ്വരാ! ആ സവ്യസാചി നിന്റെ നിമിത്തം സംരക്ഷിതനാണ്; അവൻ വിജയം പ്രാപിക്കും. ഹേ രാജേന്ദ്രാ! സഹോദരന്മാരോടുകൂടെ അവൻ ശൂരൻ, സത്യപരാക്രമൻ.”

True heroism is marked not merely by force but by dependable, principled prowess—valor that can be trusted (satya-parākrama). The verse also underscores the ethical reassurance that rightful protection and steadfast allies support the righteous in crisis.
Vāyu addresses a king, affirming that the warrior called Savyasācī (Arjuna) is under protection and will be victorious, especially together with his brothers—strengthening morale and confidence amid the war setting of Śalya Parva.
