Shloka 39
प्रसन्नस्य च मे तात पश्य व्युष्टिं यथाविधि । यावदेव मनुष्याणामन्ने भावो भविष्यति
prasannasya ca me tāta paśya vyuṣṭiṃ yathāvidhi | yāvadeva manuṣyāṇām anne bhāvo bhaviṣyati
Vāyu berkata: “Wahai anakku yang dikasihi, kini setelah aku berkenan, lihatlah hasil yang sewajarnya, menurut tata yang benar. Selama manusia masih menaruh penghargaan terhadap makanan—selama itulah akibat yang telah ditetapkan ini akan berkekalan.”

The verse links divine favor and right order (vidhi) with a lasting human ethic: as long as people maintain proper regard for food—treating it as worthy of respect rather than contempt—the beneficial, ordained outcome remains stable. It underscores gratitude, restraint, and reverence toward sustenance as a foundation of dharma.
Vāyudeva addresses an affectionate “child” (tāta), declaring his satisfaction and inviting the listener to witness the proper, rule-governed result now becoming manifest. He then states a condition for its continuance: it will last as long as humans preserve a respectful disposition toward food.
