धर्मलक्षणसंयुक्तमुक्त वो विधिवन्मया । गुणानां ग्रहणं सम्यग् वक्ष्माम्यहमत: परम्
dharmalakṣaṇasaṃyuktam uktaṃ vo vidhivan mayā | guṇānāṃ grahaṇaṃ samyag vakṣmāmy aham ataḥ param, maharṣayaḥ ||
ਵਾਯੂ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਹੇ ਮਹਰਿਸ਼ਿਓ! ਮੈਂ ਵਿਧੀ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਲੱਛਣਾਂ ਸਮੇਤ ਧਰਮ ਦਾ ਵਰਣਨ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ। ਹੁਣ ਅੱਗੇ ਮੈਂ ਸਾਫ਼ ਦੱਸਾਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਗੁਣ ਕਿਹੜੀ ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਠੀਕ-ਠੀਕ ਗ੍ਰਹਿਣ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ।

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.
