Anuśāsana-parva 17
नाम्नां कंचित् समुद्देशं वक्ष्याम्यव्यक्तयोनिन: । जब उनकी जज्ञा प्राप्त हुई है
vāyudeva uvāca | nāmnāṁ kañcit samuddeśaṁ vakṣyāmy avyaktayoninaḥ | hiraṇyabāhuś ca guhāpālaḥ praveśinām | prakṛṣṭārimahāharṣo jitakāmo jitendriyaḥ |
风神伐由说道：“我将略举大自在天湿婆之名号：其本源为不显（无相），无始无终，为世界之因地。（他是）‘金臂’希兰尼耶婆呼，臂光如金；‘洞窟守护者’古哈波罗，为入内修行者护持洞窟；摧灭可怖内敌者；至乐之体；胜欲者；制御诸根者。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames devotion as inseparable from ethical discipline: Śiva is praised not only as cosmic cause (avyakta-yoni) but also as the exemplar of inner victory—conquering desire and mastering the senses—implying that true worship aligns with self-control and inward purification.
Vāyudeva begins a concise enumeration of Śiva’s names/epithets. The listed names highlight both metaphysical stature (rooted in the Unmanifest) and yogic-protective functions (guardian of the ‘cave’ for inward-entering seekers), while emphasizing triumph over inner enemies like desire.
