Agni–Soma Origin and the Brahmāgnīṣomīya Doctrine

विष्णोर्नि:श्वासवातो5यं यदा वेगसमीरित: । सहसोदीर्यते तात जगत्‌ प्रव्यथते तदा,“तात! यह भगवान्‌ विष्णुका नि:श्वास है। जब कभी सहसा वह नि:श्वास वेगसे निकल पड़ता है, उस समय यह सारा जगत्‌ व्यथित हो उठता है

viṣṇor niḥśvāsavāto ’yaṃ yadā vegasamīritaḥ | sahasodīryate tāta jagat pravyathate tadā ||

తాతా! ఇది భగవాన్ విష్ణువు యొక్క నిశ్వాసవాయువు. అది ఎప్పుడైనా బలంగా అకస్మాత్తుగా ఉప్పొంగితే, అప్పుడు సమస్త జగత్తు కంపించి వ్యథపడుతుంది.

Educational Q&A

The verse stresses the overwhelming sovereignty of the divine: even what seems like a natural force is portrayed as Viṣṇu’s breath, reminding the listener that the cosmos depends on and is moved by a higher power.

Bhīṣma, in instruction during Śānti Parva, explains to his listener that a mighty wind (or cosmic disturbance) is to be understood as arising from Viṣṇu’s exhalation; when it suddenly intensifies, the entire world becomes agitated.
