Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 276
स एव व्यापृतो नित्य॑ं त्रैलोक्यस्य शुभाशुभे । इन्द्र आदि देवताओंके पास उन्हींका दिया हुआ ऐश्वर्य बताया जाता है। तीनों लोकोंके शुभाशुभ कर्मोंका फल देनेके लिये वे ही सदा तत्पर रहते हैं
sa eva vyāpṛto nityaṁ trailokyasya śubhāśubhe | indra-ādi-devatānāṁ pāsa uhnīṁkā diyā huā aiśvarya batāyā jātā hai | tīnoṁ lokōṁ ke śubhāśubha karmōṁ kā phala dene ke liye ve hī sadā tatpara rahate haiṁ |
风神（Vāyu）说道：唯有他恒常运作，统摄三界之吉与凶。因陀罗等诸天所显现的主权，被宣告皆是由他所赐。他始终专注不懈，向一切世界分配善业与恶业之果报。

Educational Q&A
All authority and prosperity—even that of Indra and the gods—ultimately derives from the Supreme regulator, who continuously administers the moral law by awarding the fruits of auspicious and inauspicious actions across the three worlds.
Vāyudeva is explaining a theological point: the cosmic governance of results (karma-phala) is not random or merely in the hands of individual deities; rather, a higher principle/person bestows their powers and ensures that beings receive outcomes corresponding to their deeds.
