अथ शेषाणि चान्यानि त्रीणि कर्माणि यानि तु । दानमध्ययन यज्ञो धर्मयुक्तानि तानि तु,शेष तीन कर्म-दान, अध्ययन तथा यज्ञानुष्ठान करना-ये धर्मोपार्जनके लिये हैं
atha śeṣāṇi cānyāni trīṇi karmāṇi yāni tu | dānam adhyayanaṁ yajño dharmayuktāni tāni tu ||
风神说道：“至于其余三业——布施、研习圣学、以及亲行祭祀——皆为契合正法之行，用以积聚并坚固德义。”

The verse identifies three key dharmic practices—charity (dāna), sacred study (adhyayana), and sacrifice (yajña)—as righteous actions that generate and sustain dharma (moral and religious merit).
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener by enumerating remaining prescribed duties, emphasizing that these three practices are specifically dharma-aligned means for cultivating righteousness and merit.
