Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 13
अन्यानपि सूृजेयुश्न लोकॉल्लोकेश्वरांस्तथा । कथं तेषु न वर्तेरन् सम्यग् ज्ञानातू सुतेजस:
anyān api sṛjeyuś ca lokān lokeśvarāṃs tathā | kathaṃ teṣu na varteran samyag jñānāt sutejasaḥ ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Kaya rin nilang lumikha ng iba pang mga daigdig, at gayundin ng mga tagapamahala ng mga daigdig na iyon. Kaya paano magagawang hindi umasal nang wasto sa kanila ang mga taong nagliliwanag sa kapangyarihan—na may tamang pagkaunawa sa kadakilaan ng mga Brāhmaṇa?”

Educational Q&A
True power is guided by right knowledge: those who understand the spiritual and social significance of Brāhmaṇas should naturally treat them with proper respect and correct conduct.
Vāyu argues by emphasizing the extraordinary capacities attributed to exalted beings—able to create worlds and their rulers—and concludes that such enlightened, powerful persons would not neglect proper behavior toward Brāhmaṇas once they truly know their importance.
