Saubha-ākhyāna: Śālva’s Approach and the Fortification of Dvārakā (सौभाख्यानम्—द्वारकायाः सुरक्षाविधानम्)
सर्वे भवन्तस्तिष्ठ न्तु सर्वे पश्यन्तु मां युधि । निवारयन्तं संग्रामे बलात् सौभं॑ सराजकम्,“यादवो! आप सब लोग (चुपचाप) खड़े रहें और मेरे पराक्रमको देखें; मैं किस प्रकार युद्धमें राजा शाल्वके सहित सौभ विमानकी गतिको रोक देता हूँ
sarve bhavantaḥ tiṣṭhantu sarve paśyantu māṃ yudhi | nivārayantaṃ saṅgrāme balāt saubhaṃ sarājakam ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Kayong lahat, manatili sa inyong kinalalagyan; kayong lahat, pagmasdan ninyo ako sa digmaan. Masdan kung paano ko, sa gitna ng labanan at sa lakas lamang, pipigilan ang Saubha kasama ang hari nito.”
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse highlights disciplined leadership in crisis: others are asked to hold position while a capable protector acts decisively. Strength is presented not merely as aggression, but as the power to restrain a dangerous force and safeguard the group.
Vāyu addresses the Yādavas on the battlefield, instructing them to stand still and witness his prowess as he checks the movement/advance of the Saubha flying fortress along with its king (Śālva) during combat.
