prayataḥ prātarutthāya yadadhīye viśāmpate | prāñjaliḥ śatarudrīyaṃ tan me nigadataḥ śṛṇu prajānātha ||
Ваю сказал: «О владыка народа, каждый день я встаю на заре, обуздав ум и чувства, и, сложив ладони, читаю и изучаю Шатарудрию. Слушай же, как я ныне изрекаю её тебе».

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes disciplined daily practice: rising at dawn, restraining mind and senses, and approaching sacred recitation with reverence. Ethical strength is presented as rooted in self-control and devotional routine.
Vāyu addresses a ruler (“lord of the people”) and announces that he will relate the Śatarudrīya which he regularly recites each morning with joined palms, setting up an instruction or transmission of a sacred hymn.
