Shloka 396
यथैवान्ने तथा तेषां त्वयि भावो भविष्यति । “तात! मेरे प्रसन्न होनेका जो भावी फल है
yathaivānne tathā teṣāṃ tvayi bhāvo bhaviṣyati |
वायू म्हणाला— “तात! विधिपूर्वक ऐक— जसा त्यांचा भाव व आसक्ती अन्नावर असतो, तसाच तो तुझ्याविषयीही राहील. जोपर्यंत देव व मनुष्य अन्नावर प्रेम करतील व त्यावर अवलंबून राहतील, तोपर्यंत तुझ्याविषयी त्यांचा आदरही तितकाच टिकून राहील.”

The verse teaches that reverence and attachment follow the source of sustenance: as long as beings value food as life-supporting, they will value and honor the power/person associated with enabling that sustenance. It highlights gratitude and the ethical recognition of what maintains life.
Vāyu speaks a boon-like assurance: he declares that the regard of gods and humans toward the addressed person will mirror their regard for food—enduring as long as food remains beloved and necessary.
