Shloka 17
रोषण: सर्वभूतानां सूक्ष्मेडप्यपकृते कृते । परिभाषां च मे श्रुत्वा को नु दद्यात् प्रतिश्रयम्
roṣaṇaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ sūkṣmeḍ apy apakṛte kṛte | paribhāṣāṃ ca me śrutvā ko nu dadyāt pratiśrayam ||
Vāyu berkata: “Kemarahan bangkit terhadap semua makhluk walaupun hanya kerana kesalahan yang amat kecil. Dan setelah mendengar amaran daripadaku, siapakah lagi yang akan memberikan perlindungan (kepada orang seperti itu)?”

Educational Q&A
Even minor harm can provoke widespread anger and social rupture; therefore one should avoid causing injury and cultivate restraint, since wrongdoing undermines trust and makes others unwilling to offer refuge or protection.
Vāyu speaks as an instructor, warning that anger flares up even over small offenses; having heard this admonition, a prudent person would hesitate to extend shelter to someone associated with harmful conduct.
