Shloka 9
व्याधि-गुण-साम्योपदेशः | Discourse on Affliction, Guṇa-Equilibrium, and the Inner Battle
प्रत्राजनं च नगरादजिनैश्न विवासनम् । महारण्यनिवासश्न न तस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छसि
pratrājanaṃ ca nagarād ajinaiś ca nivāsanam | mahāraṇya-nivāsaṃ ca na tasya smartum icchasi ||
风神说道：“你们被逐出城邦，被迫披穿鹿皮，流放在外；你们不得不栖身于广袤而可怖的森林之中。你当真不愿回想人们对你们所做的一切吗？”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of injustice and humiliation: forced exile and hardship are not trivial events to be forgotten. Remembering wrongdoing can be a moral impetus to seek rightful redress and uphold dharma, rather than suppressing legitimate grievance.
Vāyudeva addresses the listener by recalling past sufferings—expulsion from the city, being made to wear deerskins, and living in terrifying forests—challenging them on why they would refuse to remember these injuries.
