माहात्म्यं द्विजमुख्यस्य सर्वमाख्यातवांस्तदा । भरतभूषण! रुक्मिणीकुमार प्रद्युम्नके पूछनेपर इस तरह मैंने उनसे विप्रवर दुर्वासाका सारा माहात्म्य कहा था ।।

风神婆由说道：“当时我将那位最上婆罗门的伟大功德尽皆陈述。噢，婆罗多族的荣饰！当鲁克米妮之子普拉丢姆那问我时，我便如此向他讲述了贤圣杜尔婆娑的全部光辉。同样地，噢，昆蒂之子，噢，主君，你也应当恒常敬奉并侍奉婆罗门。”

Educational Q&A
The verse reinforces a dharmic ethic: one should consistently honor and serve Brahmins (as custodians of Vedic learning and ascetic discipline). The narrative authority of Durvāsā’s ‘māhātmya’ is used to ground this instruction in exemplary tradition.
Vāyu recalls that, when Pradyumna (son of Rukmiṇī) inquired, he narrated the full greatness of the sage Durvāsā. He then turns the recollection into direct counsel addressed to ‘Kaunteya’, urging continual respect toward Brahmins.
