Guṇa–Ritual–Immanence Teaching
वायुर्वेगेन महता रथस्य पुरतो ववौ । कुर्वन्नि:शर्करं मार्ग विरजस्कमकण्टकम्,उनके रथके आगे बड़े वेगसे हवा आती और रास्तेकी धूल, कंकण तथा काँटोंको उड़ाकर अलग कर देती थी
vāyur vegena mahatā rathasya purato vavau | kurvann iḥśarkaraṁ mārgaṁ virajaskam akaṇṭakam ||
毗舍波耶那说：一阵强风以极大之势吹拂在战车前方，清扫道路——卷走碎石，扬起尘土，扫除荆棘——使路径洁净、平坦、无所阻碍。此景昭示旅途得天相助，仿佛自然也在协力，确保前行畅通无阻。
