Shloka 396
यथैवान्ने तथा तेषां त्वयि भावो भविष्यति । “तात! मेरे प्रसन्न होनेका जो भावी फल है
yathaivānne tathā teṣāṃ tvayi bhāvo bhaviṣyati |
Vāyu disse: “Assim como o sentimento e o apego deles repousam sobre o alimento, assim também repousará o sentimento deles por ti. Enquanto deuses e humanos continuarem a prezar e a depender do sustento, a consideração deles por ti perdurará na mesma medida.”

The verse teaches that reverence and attachment follow the source of sustenance: as long as beings value food as life-supporting, they will value and honor the power/person associated with enabling that sustenance. It highlights gratitude and the ethical recognition of what maintains life.
Vāyu speaks a boon-like assurance: he declares that the regard of gods and humans toward the addressed person will mirror their regard for food—enduring as long as food remains beloved and necessary.
