Uttanka’s Viśvarūpa Request and the ‘Uttanka Clouds’ Boon (उत्तङ्क-विष्वरूप-दर्शनम्)
ये चाश्रमेषु वै धर्माश्चतुर्धा विदिता मुने । वैदिकानि च सर्वाणि विद्धि सर्व मदात्मकम्
ye cāśrameṣu vai dharmāś caturdhā viditā mune | vaidikāni ca sarvāṇi viddhi sarva-madātmakam, mune ||
风神伐由说道：“噢牟尼，当知四住期（āśrama）中所知的四分之法，以及吠陀所敕的一切仪轨，皆是我的本性。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches divine immanence in dharma: the duties of the four āśramas and all Vedic rites are not merely external acts but are to be understood as sharing in the very essence of Vāyu—suggesting that righteous living and Vedic discipline are pervaded and empowered by a divine principle.
Vāyudeva is speaking to a sage and is identifying the established fourfold āśrama-dharmas and the totality of Veda-enjoined actions as ‘mad-ātmakam’—of his own nature—thereby elevating the discussion from social-religious duty to a theological claim about the divine basis of Vedic life.
