The Thirteen Inner Adversaries (Trayodaśa Doṣāḥ): Origins and Pacification
मयि वै त्यज्यतां क्रोध: किं मे क्रुद्धः करिष्यसि । न ते बिभेमि पवन यद्यपि त्वं स्वयं प्रभु:
mayi vai tyajyatāṃ krodhaḥ kiṃ me kruddhaḥ kariṣyasi | na te bibhemi pavana yadyapi tvaṃ svayaṃ prabhuḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“把你的怒火尽管倾泻在我身上吧。即便你盛怒，又能奈我何？风啊，纵然你自身强大、威权自在，我也不惧你。”

The verse models fearlessness and moral steadiness: one who is grounded in inner resolve does not yield to intimidation, even by a powerful force. It also implies that anger should be restrained or redirected away from harming others, as wrath does not automatically confer moral authority.
Bhīṣma addresses Pavana (the Wind-god) directly, challenging him to vent his anger on Bhīṣma and declaring that even if Pavana is immensely powerful, Bhīṣma will not be frightened or coerced.
