Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
मया संश्लेषिता भूमिरद्धिव्योम च वायुना । वायुश्न तेजसा सार्ध वैकुण्ठत्वं ततो मम
mayā saṁśleṣitā bhūmir adbhir vyoma ca vāyunā | vāyuś ca tejasā sārdhaṁ vaikuṇṭhatvaṁ tato mama ||
我使地与水相合，使空与风相合，又使风与火同契。故我名为“毗昆陀”（Vaikuṇṭha）——其合和诸大之力从不受阻，象征对宇宙秩序的至尊主宰，以及调和世间诸成分之能。
तामिन्द्र उवाच गच्छ नहुषस्त्वया वाच्योथ<पूर्वेण मामृषियुक्तेन यानेन त्वमधिरूढ
Educational Q&A
The verse presents divine mastery as the ability to harmonize and integrate the fundamental elements of existence. ‘Vaikuṇṭha’ is explained as one whose power is not hindered (a-kunṭha) in uniting the pañcabhūtas, symbolizing maintenance of cosmic order and the ethical ideal of sustaining harmony rather than disorder.
A speaker identifies himself through an epithet—‘Vaikuṇṭha’—and justifies the name by describing the cosmic act of joining the elements (earth with water, space with wind, wind with fire). The statement functions as a self-revelation grounded in cosmological capability and authority.
