The verse teaches a unitive vision: the one being addressed is identified with many deities and their functions. Ethically, it encourages humility and devotion by recognizing that all powers—creation, governance, justice, and prosperity—ultimately rest in a single supreme reality.
Vāyu is offering a hymn of praise (stuti), listing major gods and cosmic administrators and declaring them to be forms or aspects of the one addressed. This is a rhetorical device to express supremacy and all-pervasiveness.
