Vāyu disse: “Ele é tanto o caminho do engajamento no mundo (pravṛtti) quanto o caminho do recolhimento (nivṛtti); disciplinado, eterno e inabalável. Habitante do campo de cremação, o Senhor Bem-aventurado move-se pelo céu e também pela terra, e castiga os que vivem no pecado.”

Educational Q&A
The divine can encompass both pravṛtti (responsible action in the world) and nivṛtti (renunciation), showing that dharma is not one-dimensional. The Lord is portrayed as disciplined and unwavering, and as a moral force who corrects wrongdoing.
Vāyu is praising and describing the Lord (implicitly Śiva/Rudra) through epithets, emphasizing his paradoxical nature—ascetic cremation-ground dweller yet cosmic mover in sky and earth—and his role as chastiser of sinners.
