कर्णिकारमहास्रग्वी नीलमौलि: पिनाकधृत् । उमापतिरुमाकान्तो जाह्नवीधृदुमाधव:
karṇikāra-mahāsragvī nīla-mauliḥ pināka-dhṛt | umāpatir umākānto jāhnavī-dhṛd umādhavaḥ ||
风神伐由说道：“他佩戴迦尔尼迦罗（karṇikāra）花的大花鬘；其首戴深蓝色的顶髻宝珠；执持毗那迦（Pināka）神弓；为乌玛之主（Umāpati），亦为乌玛所钟爱者；他将阇诃那毗（Jāhnavī，即恒河）承于头顶；他是乌玛之夫（Umādhava）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse models devotional recollection through a chain of epithets: by remembering the deity’s attributes—beauty (garland), sovereignty (crown), power (Pināka), and sanctity/ascetic mastery (bearing Gaṅgā)—one cultivates reverence and steadiness of mind.
Vāyu is speaking a stuti-like passage, identifying Śiva through characteristic titles and symbols. Rather than advancing plot, the verse functions as a devotional description that situates Śiva’s identity and greatness within the discourse of Anuśāsana Parva.
