Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
बलवांश्वोपशान्तश्न पुराण: पुण्यचज्चुरी । कुरुकर्ता कुरुवासी कुरुभूतो गुणीषध:
balavān śvopaśāntaś ca purāṇaḥ puṇyacakṣuḥ | īśaḥ kurukartā kuruvāsī kurubhūto guṇauṣadhaḥ ||
风神伐由说道：“祂威力无边而至极寂静；为太古之尊（Purāṇa），唯凭功德而得见，如‘正法之眼’；亦为慈悲之主——建成俱卢之野（Kurukṣetra）者，居于俱卢之野者，且本身即俱卢之野——如同灵药，能生起智慧与离欲等诸德。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Lord is recognized through virtue (puṇya) and is characterized by power joined with perfect tranquility; devotion to such a being is itself ‘medicinal,’ producing inner virtues like knowledge and dispassion.
Vāyu-deva offers a hymn-like description of the Lord, linking divine qualities to Kurukṣetra—portraying the Lord as its founder, resident, and very essence—thereby elevating the sacred field as a locus of dharma and moral transformation.
