Anuśāsana-parva 17
उग्रो वंशकरो वंशों वंशनादो हाुनिन्दित: । सर्वाड्ररूपो मायावी सुहदो हुनिलोडनल:
vāyudeva uvāca | ugro vaṁśakaro vaṁśo vaṁśanādo 'ninditaḥ | sarvāṅgarūpo māyāvī suhṛd anilo 'nalaḥ ||
风天说道：“他是乌格罗（Ugra）——在劫末坏灭之时现可怖之相；既为族系之开创者，亦为族系之本体；其笛音回荡（以黑天 Kṛṣṇa 之相）；无可指摘，超越毁谤；诸肢圆满；神力玄妙；以无因大悲为一切众生之友；并且同时显现为风与火。”

Educational Q&A
The verse presents a many-sided vision of the Divine: simultaneously awe-inspiring (ugra) and compassionate (suhṛt), transcendent of blame (anindita) yet immanent in the elements (anila, anala). Ethically, it encourages reverence joined with trust—fear of wrongdoing before cosmic power, and confidence in divine benevolence.
Vāyudeva is reciting a litany of epithets—names describing the Lord’s qualities. The sequence moves from cosmic might (pralaya-form) to lineage and flute-associated identity (hinting at Kṛṣṇa), and finally to elemental pervasion as wind and fire.
