Brahmopadeśa: Adhipatitva-kathana, Dharma-lakṣaṇa, and Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña Viveka
Book 14, Chapter 43
धर्मलक्षणसंयुक्तमुक्त वो विधिवन्मया । गुणानां ग्रहणं सम्यग् वक्ष्माम्यहमत: परम्
dharmalakṣaṇasaṃyuktam uktaṃ vo vidhivan mayā | guṇānāṃ grahaṇaṃ samyag vakṣmāmy aham ataḥ param, maharṣayaḥ ||
风神婆由说道:“诸大圣仙啊!我已依正法次第,为汝等阐明具足标相之法(dharma)。今当更明言:诸种性质(guṇa)各由其相应的感官机能如何如实摄取。”
वायुदेव उवाच
After defining dharma with its identifying marks, the speaker turns to epistemic clarity: how qualities (guṇas) are properly known through the appropriate sense-faculties, emphasizing correct method (vidhivat) and accurate apprehension (samyak-grahaṇa).
Vāyudeva addresses a group of great seers, concluding one section of instruction on dharma and announcing the next topic—an explanation of how different qualities are perceived—continuing a structured, teacher-to-ṛṣi discourse.
