The exposition of the Pañcamī vow to be observed in the twelve months
सर्वकामफलावाप्तिर्भवेद्वै विप्रभोजनैः । अथाषाढस्य पंचम्यां वायुं सर्वगतं मुने ॥ ७ ॥
sarvakāmaphalāvāptirbhavedvai viprabhojanaiḥ | athāṣāḍhasya paṃcamyāṃ vāyuṃ sarvagataṃ mune || 7 ||
பிராமணர்களுக்கு அன்னதானம் செய்தால் எல்லா விருப்பங்களின் பலனும் கிடைக்கும். பின்னர், முனிவரே, ஆஷாட பஞ்சமியில் எங்கும் நிறைந்த வாயுவை வழிபட வேண்டும்।
Sanatkumara (addressing Narada)
Vrata: Vāyu worship on Āṣāḍha pañcamī (vrata name not explicitly given)
Primary Rasa: shanta (peace)
Secondary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
It links dāna expressed as vipra-bhojana (feeding brāhmaṇas) with sarva-kāma-phala (fulfilment of aims), and then prescribes a specific tithi-based observance—Āṣāḍha pañcamī—focused on honoring Vāyu as a pervasive divine principle.
Bhakti is shown in practical form: serving the Lord’s representatives through respectful feeding and performing a calendar-based worship (upāsanā) of Vāyu, cultivating reverence for the divine presence that pervades all beings.
It relies on Vedic calendrics (Jyotiṣa Vedāṅga) through the use of a specific lunar month (Āṣāḍha) and tithi (pañcamī) to time a prescribed ritual action.
