Anuśāsana-parva 17
दीर्घश्व हरिकेशश्व सुतीर्थ: कृष्ण एव च | शृगालरूप: सिद्धार्थो मुण्ड: सर्वशुभड़कर:
dīrghaśva harikeśaś ca sutīrthaḥ kṛṣṇa eva ca | śṛgālarūpaḥ siddhārtho muṇḍaḥ sarvaśubhaṅkaraḥ ||
Wika ni Vāyu-deva: “Kilala siya sa maraming pangalan—Dīrghaśva, Harikeśa, Sutīrtha, at Kṛṣṇa; nag-aanyong asong-gubat (jackal) din siya; siya si Siddhārtha (yaong laging natutupad ang mga layon), si Muṇḍa (ang ahit-ulong pulubi-monghe), at si Sarvaśubhaṅkara, ang mapagkawanggawang nagdadala ng pagpapala sa lahat ng nilalang.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the many names and forms through which the divine may be recognized—majestic, sacred, ascetic, and even seemingly humble or animal-like—while remaining fundamentally a universal benefactor who brings auspiciousness to all.
Vāyu-deva is describing the subject through a string of epithets, highlighting varied manifestations and attributes—sacredness (as a tīrtha), transcendence (Kṛṣṇa), accomplished power (Siddhārtha), ascetic guise (Muṇḍa), and beneficence (Sarvaśubhaṅkara).
