Names of the divine are presented as ethically and philosophically grounded: true epithets arise from real attributes—greatness, pervasive power, and concrete deeds—so language should reflect character and action rather than empty praise.
Vāyu is speaking within a doctrinal discussion and explains why a deity is known by many different names among the gods: each name is justified by the deity’s magnitude, all-pervading potency, and distinctive divine works.
