Śiva-stavarāja: Upamanyu’s Preface and Initiation of the Śarva-Nāma Enumeration
Anuśāsana-parva 17
सर्वाशयो दर्भचारी सर्वेषां प्राणिनां पति: । देवदेव: सुखासक्त: सदसत्सर्वरत्नवित्
sarvāśayo darbha-cārī sarveṣāṁ prāṇināṁ patiḥ | deva-devaḥ sukhāsaktaḥ sad-asat-sarva-ratna-vit ||
风神伐由说道：“祂是一切众生之归依；享受置于圣达婆草（darbha）之上的供献（havis）者；一切有情之主；诸天之天；恒住于自身至乐之性；了知有与无；并能辨识一切珍宝。”

Educational Q&A
The verse praises the Supreme as the universal refuge and lord, simultaneously present in ritual worship (receiving offerings) and transcendent in nature (abiding in bliss), with complete knowledge of reality and unreality (sat/asat) and of all precious excellences.
Vāyu is speaking a eulogy-like description, listing honorific epithets that define the deity’s sovereignty, ritual accessibility, and metaphysical supremacy—typical of Anuśāsana Parva’s didactic passages on dharma and worship.
