Brahmopadeśa: Adhipatitva-kathana, Dharma-lakṣaṇa, and Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña Viveka
Book 14, Chapter 43
दीक्षितानां तथा यज्ञो दैवानां मघवा तथा । दिशामुदीची विप्राणां सोमो राजा प्रतापवान्
dīkṣitānāṃ tathā yajño daivānāṃ maghavā tathā | diśām udīcī viprāṇāṃ somo rājā pratāpavān ||
风神伐由说道:“在受灌顶持戒者之中,主宰者乃祭祀(Yajña)本身;在诸天之中,摩伽婆(因陀罗)为主。于诸方之中,北方执掌尊位;于婆罗门之中,威德赫赫的苏摩王(月神)被奉为首领。”
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse teaches recognition of rightful presiding principles: sacrifice governs the consecrated, Indra governs the gods, the North is foremost among directions, and Soma is chief among Brahmins—illustrating dharmic order through appropriate hierarchy.
Vāyu is enumerating domain-wise overlords (adhikārins/presiding powers) to explain a structured cosmic and ritual framework, linking consecration, divine governance, spatial orientation, and Brahminical eminence.
