विप्रकारान् प्रयुद्धक्ते सम सुबहून् मम वेश्मनि । तानुदारतया चाहं चक्षमे चातिदुःसहान्,उन्होंने मेरे महलमें मेरे विरुद्ध बहुत-से अपराध किये। वे सभी अत्यन्त दुःसह थे तो भी मैंने उदारतापूर्वक क्षमा किया
viprakārān prayuddhakte samabahūn mama veśmani | tān udāratayā cāhaṃ cakṣame cātiduḥsahān ||
वायुरुवाच— मम वेश्मनि विप्रैर्बहुभिरपि मम विरुद्धं अपराधाः कृताः, वैरभावेन च प्रवृत्ताः। तेऽत्यन्तदुःसहा अपि मया उदारतया सहिष्णुना क्षान्ताश्च।

Educational Q&A
The verse upholds kṣamā (forbearance/forgiveness) as a dharmic strength: even when wronged severely—especially within one’s own home—one should restrain anger and respond with magnanimity rather than retaliation.
Vāyudeva speaks about being wronged by many brāhmaṇas in his own residence; despite their hostile and unbearable offenses, he chose to endure and forgive them, presenting his conduct as an ethical example.
