Vāyu bersabda: “Biarlah para putera raja dan gadis-gadis diraja membawa bahan-bahan abhiṣeka untukmu. Ramai anak lelaki dan anak perempuan raja akan datang demi tuanku, mengusung bejana emas, perak dan tanah liat, bersama himpunan herba penyembuh, benih segala jenis, permata yang lengkap, serta sulur-sulur dan seumpamanya—segala yang diperlukan bagi upacara pentahbisan.”

Educational Q&A
Legitimate rule is affirmed through dharmic procedure: public, auspicious consecration supported by the wider polity. The verse emphasizes orderly recognition and ritual propriety over mere power.
Vāyudeva foretells or instructs that royal sons and daughters will arrive bringing all items needed for an abhiṣeka—vessels, herbs, seeds, gems, and plants—signaling a formal, widely endorsed elevation of the addressed person.
