Vāyu-deva nói: “Ngài là chúa tể của các giới nguyện, là Brahman Tối Thượng; đối với người sùng tín, Ngài là nơi nương tựa cao nhất và cứu cánh rốt ráo. Tự do vĩnh viễn, Ngài phóng xuất quang uy không gì cưỡng nổi lên kẻ thù; đầy đủ phúc thịnh thần linh, Ngài làm tăng trưởng tài lộc cho kẻ thờ phụng, và chính Ngài là hình thể của thế gian.”

Educational Q&A

The verse presents the deity being praised as the supreme spiritual reality (Brahman) and the ultimate destination for devotees, emphasizing that true refuge and liberation are found in the highest principle, which also governs ethical discipline (vows) and bestows prosperity and protection.

Vāyu-deva is delivering a hymn-like eulogy, listing epithets that describe the praised Lord’s cosmic status (as Brahman and the world), salvific role (highest goal for devotees), and active power (radiance that overcomes enemies and prosperity that increases devotees’ welfare).
