Shloka 28
धर्मलक्षणसंयुक्तमुक्त वो विधिवन्मया । गुणानां ग्रहणं सम्यग् वक्ष्माम्यहमत: परम्,महर्षियो! यह मैंने तुमलोगोंसे लक्षणोंसहित धर्मका विधिवत् वर्णन किया। अब यह बतला रहा हूँ कि किस गुणको किस इन्द्रियसे ठीक-ठीक ग्रहण किया जाता है
dharmalakṣaṇasaṃyuktam uktaṃ vo vidhivan mayā | guṇānāṃ grahaṇaṃ samyag vakṣmāmy aham ataḥ param, maharṣayaḥ ||
Vāyu berkata: “Wahai para resi agung! Aku telah menerangkan dharma beserta tanda-tanda penentunya kepada kamu menurut kaedah yang wajar. Sekarang, aku akan menyatakan dengan jelas bagaimana setiap sifat (guṇa) ditangkap dengan tepat oleh fakulti indera yang sepadan.”

Educational Q&A
After defining dharma with its identifying marks, the speaker turns to epistemic clarity: how qualities (guṇas) are properly known through the appropriate sense-faculties, emphasizing correct method (vidhivat) and accurate apprehension (samyak-grahaṇa).
Vāyudeva addresses a group of great seers, concluding one section of instruction on dharma and announcing the next topic—an explanation of how different qualities are perceived—continuing a structured, teacher-to-ṛṣi discourse.
