Anuśāsana-parva 17
महद्विविंहितै: सत्यै: सिद्धैः सर्वार्थसाधकै: । ऋषिणा तण्डिना भवक्त्या कृतैर्वेदकृतात्मना
mahadvivimhitaiḥ satyaiḥ siddhaiḥ sarvārthasādhakaiḥ | ṛṣiṇā taṇḍinā bhaktyā kṛtair vedakṛtātmanā ||
वायू म्हणाला—ही दिव्य नावे महान व विविध आहेत; ती सत्य, सिद्ध आणि सर्वार्थसाधक आहेत. वेदाने संस्कारित मन असलेल्या ऋषी तंडीने भक्तिभावाने त्यांचा संग्रह केला आहे.

Educational Q&A
That sacred names/hymns transmitted by authoritative seers and compiled with Vedic discipline and devotion are ‘satya’ (trustworthy) and ‘siddha’ (proven), and thus spiritually efficacious—capable of supporting legitimate human aims when approached reverently.
Vāyu is introducing a revered set of divine names (in context, a Śiva-stotra tradition) and legitimizing it by citing its compilation by the sage Taṇḍin, emphasizing its Vedic grounding, truth, and established power.
