Mbh.3.289.14108	I am the god of Wind.
Mbh.4.61.2399	I have obtained from Rudra the Raudra, from Varuna the Varuna from Agni the Agneya, from the god of Wind the Vayava, and from Sakra the thunderbolt and other weapons.

Mbh.7.198.11286	When by those austerities, O sire, he became: like Brahma he then beheld the Master, Origin, and Guardian of the Universe, the Lord of all the gods, the Supreme Deity, who is exceedingly difficult of being gazed at, who is minuter than the minutest and larger than, the largest, who is called Rudra who is the lord of all the superior ones, who is called Hara and Sambhu, who has matted locks on his head, who is the infuser of life into every form, who is the First cause of all immobile: and mobile things, who is irresistible and of frightful aspect, who is of fierce wrath and great Soul, who is the All-destroyer, and of large heart; who beareth the celestial bow and a couple of quivers, who is cased in golden armour, and whose energy is infinite, who holdeth Pinaka, who is; armed with thunderbolt, a blazing trident, battle axe, mace, and a large sword; whose eye-brows are fair, whose locks are matted, who wieldeth the heavy short club, who hath the moon on his forehead, who is clad in tiger-skin, and who is armed with the bludgeon; who is decked with beautiful angadas, who hath snakes for his sacred thread, and who is surrounded by diverse creatures of the universe and by numerous ghosts and spirits, who is the One, who is the abode of ascetic austerities, and who is highly adored by persons of venerable age; who is Water, Heaven, Sky, Earth, Sun, Moon, Wind and Fire, and who is the measure of the duration of the universe.
Mbh.7.199.11464	He is Indra, he is the Wind, he is the twin Aswins, and he is the lighting.
Mbh.8.34.1699	The gods, O king, then commanded that foremost of celestials, viz, Wind, to breathe after that puissant Deity all the fragrance that he carries.
Mbh.8.96.6159	The learned say that the holy and the eternal Vishnu is Sacrifice, and each of those other gods, viz, Agni, Wind, Soma, and Surya, is so.
Mbh.12.47.2512	Thou standest, shutting up the seven paths of the Wind whose energy is immeasurable.
Mbh.12.50.2733	Thou standest shutting up the seven paths of the Wind possessed of immeasurable energy.
Mbh.12.72.4110	Aila said, The Wind does not, by blowing, visibly destroy men on all occasions, nor does the deity of the clouds do so by pouring rain.
Mbh.12.154.9277	It seems, O Salmali, that a close intimacy has come to subsist between thee and the Wind.
Mbh.12.154.9279	I do not see the tree or mountain or mansion in this world that may not, I think, be broken by the Wind.
Mbh.12.154.9280	Without doubt thou standest here with all thy branches and twigs and leaves, simply because, O Salmali, thou art protected by the Wind for some reason or reasons unknown to us'
Mbh.12.154.9281	The Salmali said, The Wind, O regenerate one, is neither my friend nor mate nor well-wisher.
Mbh.12.154.9284	In truth, the strength of the Wind comes up to about only an eighteenth part of mine.
Mbh.12.154.9285	When the Wind comes in rage, tearing up trees and mountains and other things, I curb his strength by putting forth mine.
Mbh.12.154.9286	Indeed, the Wind that breaks many things has himself been repeatedly broken by me.
Mbh.12.154.9290	There is no created thing which is equal to the Wind in strength.
Mbh.12.154.9302	Chandanas, and Syandanas, and Salas, and Saralas and Devadarus and Vetavas and Dhanwanas and other trees of good souls that are far stronger than thou art, have never, O thou of wicked understanding, uttered such invectives against the Wind.
Mbh.12.154.9303	All of them know the might of the Wind as also the might that is possessed by each of them.
Mbh.12.154.9305	Thou, however, through folly, knowest not the infinite might of the Wind.
Mbh.12.155.9313	It is not proper, O Wind, that I should repeat them in thy hearing.
Mbh.12.155.9314	I know, O Wind, that thou art the foremost of all created things.
Mbh.12.155.9339	I am certainly inferior in might to the Wind.
Mbh.12.155.9341	The Wind, as Narada said, is always mighty.
Mbh.12.155.9344	Therefore, relying upon my intelligence I shall look at this fear that arises from the Wind.
Mbh.12.155.9345	If the other trees in the forest all rely upon the same kind of intelligence, then, verily, no injury can result to them from the god of the Wind when he becomes angry.
Mbh.12.155.9347	however, are destitute of understanding, and, therefore, they do not know, as I know, why or how the Wind succeeds in shaking and tearing them up
Mbh.12.156.9350	Casting off his branches and leaves and flowers, at morn the tree looked steadily at the Wind, as he came towards him.
Mbh.12.156.9351	Filled with rage and breathing hard, the Wind advanced, felling large trees, towards that spot where the Salmali stood.
Mbh.12.156.9352	Beholding him divested of top and branches and leaves and flowers, the Wind, filled with joy, smilingly addressed that lord of the forest which had before such a gigantic appearance, these words'
Mbh.12.156.9353	The Wind said, Filled with rage, O Salmali, I would have done to thee precisely what thou hast done to thyself by lopping off all thy branches.
Mbh.12.156.9356	Bhishma continued, Hearing these words of the Wind, the Salmali felt great shame.
Mbh.12.181.10933	From Space was born Water, and from Water were born Fire and Wind.
Mbh.12.181.10934	Through the union of Fire and Wind was born the Earth.
Mbh.12.181.10945	The Wind is his breath.
Mbh.12.181.10956	Bharadwaja said, What is the extent of the firmament, of the points of the horizon, of the surface of this earth, and of the Wind?
Mbh.12.182.10998	How Fire and Wind?
Mbh.12.193.11565	Touch, action, and skin are the triple attributes of the Wind.
Mbh.12.198.11950	It is by Truth that the Wind moves.
Mbh.12.201.12213	SECTION CCII Manu said, From that eternal and undeteriorating One first sprang Space; from space came Wind; from wind came Light; from light came Water; from water sprang the Universe; and from the universe, all things that occur in it.
Mbh.12.205.12415	Water is superior to the Earth in extension; Light is superior to Water; Wind is superior to Light; Space is superior to Wind; Mind is superior to Space; Understanding is superior to Mind; Time is superior to Understanding.
Mbh.12.206.12473	He created by his will the five-fold elements, viz, Wind, Light, Water, Space, and Earth.
Mbh.12.209.12710	From Space proceeds Wind.
Mbh.12.209.12711	From the Wind proceeds Heat.
Mbh.12.231.14343	From Space, by modification, arises the bearer of all scents, viz, the pure and mighty Wind.
Mbh.12.231.14345	From Wind also, by modification, springs Light endued with effulgence.
Mbh.12.231.14353	After Space comes Wind, which has, therefore, both Sound and Touch for its attributes.
Mbh.12.231.14354	From Wind comes Light or Fire, which has Sound, Touch, and Form for its attributes.
Mbh.12.231.14357	If anybody, perceiving Scent in Water, were from ignorance to say that it belongs to Water, he would fall into an error, for Scent is the attribute of Earth though it may exist in a state of attachment with Water and also Wind.
Mbh.12.232.14436	Then Wind comes and takes the attribute, viz, form of Heat or Light, which thereupon becomes extinguished, yielding to Wind, which, possessed of great might, begins to be awfully agitated.
Mbh.12.232.14437	The Wind, obtaining its own attribute, viz, sound, begins to traverse upwards and downwards and transversely along all the ten points.
Mbh.12.232.14438	Then Space takes the attribute, viz, sound of Wind, upon which the latter becomes extinguished and enters into a phase of existence resembling that of unheard or unuttered sound.
Mbh.12.235.14569	Through these the Yogin gradually acquires mastery over Earth, Wind, Space, Water, Fire, Consciousness, and Understanding.
Mbh.12.235.14579	When this disappears, the form that becomes perceivable is that of Wind as effulgent as a well-tempered weapon of high polish.
Mbh.12.235.14580	Gradually, the form displayed by Wind becomes like that of the thinnest gossamer.
Mbh.12.235.14585	With only his toe, or with his hand or feet, that person can singly cause the whole Earth to tremble who has achieved the lordship of the Wind.
Mbh.12.235.14586	Even this is the attribute of the Wind as declared in the Sruti.
Mbh.12.274.16808	Water, Space, Earth, Wind, and Heat, these are those five essences.
Mbh.12.284.17672	The utterers of Brahma say that thou art the Supreme source of Mind, and the Refuge upon which Space, Wind, and Light rest.
Mbh.12.284.17788	The goddess Saraswati is thy speech and Fire and Wind are thy might.
Mbh.12.285.17861	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light forming the fifth, are the great essences.
Mbh.12.285.17868	Life is from Wind.
Mbh.12.285.17878	Life, touch, and action are said to be the properties of Wind.
Mbh.12.299.18743	The person who knows that all objects of enjoyment which human beings cherish are characterised by vicissitudes, has few rivals, and is superior to the very Moon and the Wind
Mbh.12.301.18864	O foremost of eloquent men, about what is called felicity here, having a clear knowledge of what the sorrows are that overtake when the hour comes all those that are concerned with transitory objects and knowing full well the sorrows of those that have fallen into the intermediate orders of being and of those that have sunk into hell, perceiving all the merits and all the faults of heaven, O Bharta, and all the demerits that attach to the declarations of the Vedas and all the excellencies that are connected with them recognising the faults and merits of the Yoga and the Sankhya systems of philosophy, realizing also that the quality of Sattwa has ten properties, that of Rajas has nine, and that of Tamas has eight, that the Understanding has seven properties, the Mind has six, and Space has five, and once more conceiving that the Understanding has four properties and Tamas has three, and the Rajas has two and Sattwa has, one, and truly apprehending the path that is followed by all objects when destruction overtakes them and what the course is of self knowledge, the Sankhyas, possessed of knowledge and experience and exalted by their perceptions of causes, and acquiring thorough auspiciousness, attain to the felicity of Emancipation like the rays of the Sun, or the Wind taking refuge in Space
Mbh.12.301.18873	Heat attaches itself to the Wind; and the wind has Space for its refuge; and Space has Mahat for its refuge, and Mahat has the Understanding for its foundation.
Mbh.12.301.18955	All the qualities of Sattwa, all the attributes of the Under-standing, O Bharata, as also those of Mind, and space, and Wind, O thou of righteous soul, and all the attributes of liquid substances, of Water, O Partha, and Of Earth, these senses with these qualities, O Yudhishthira, which inhere to Jiva-souls, are along with the Jiva-soul itself, overwhelmed by the Supreme Soul or Brahma.
Mbh.12.302.19036	This fourth creation comprises Wind and Light and Space and Water and Earth, with their properties of sound, touch, form, taste and scent.
Mbh.12.310.19525	The Unmanifest or original Prakriti, Mahat, Consciousness, and the five subtile elements of Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light, these eight are known by the name of Prakriti.
Mbh.12.311.19564	These are Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light numbering the fifth.
Mbh.12.312.19594	Then comes the mighty Wind of immeasurable force, in his eight forms, who swallows up quickly that blazing fire of transcendent force, possessed of seven flames, and identifiable with the heat existing every creature.
Mbh.12.312.19595	Having swallowed up that fire, the Wind courses in every direction, upwards, downwards, and transversely.
Mbh.12.312.19596	Then space of immeasurable existent swallowed up that Wind of transcendent energy.
Mbh.12.313.19618	The skin is Adhyatma; touch is its Adhibhuta; and Wind is its Adhidaivata.
Mbh.12.321.20470	Even here, the god of Fire, the Sun and the Wind, these three reside in the body.
Mbh.12.323.20593	The prayer he addressed to the great God was, O puissant one, let me have a son that will have he puissance of Fire and Earth and Water and Wind and Space.
Mbh.12.323.20607	Possessed of greatness, he shall be as pure as Fire, as Wind, as Earth, as Water, and as Space!
Mbh.12.328.20895	It behoveth thee to tell me everything about the conduct of the Wind,
Mbh.12.332.21235	Capable of traversing through the welkin, the blessed Suka of fixed conclusion, then identified himself with the element of Wind.
Mbh.12.333.21317	Thou hadst formerly solicited from me a son possessed of the energy of Fire, of Water, of Wind, and of Space; Procreated by thy penances, the son that was born unto thee was of that very kind.
Mbh.12.335.21496	Surya, and Chandramas, Wind, and Earth, and Water and Fire, all the stars and planets and constellations, all else that is called by the name of creatures, and utterers of Brahma or the Vedas, they all live and act in their respective spheres and are all respected as authorities.
Mbh.12.339.21837	O celestial Rishi, the Earth, which is the refuge of the universe, disappears when the hour for universal dissolution comes into water, Water disappears into Light, and Light into Wind, Wind disappears into Space, and Space into Mind.
Mbh.12.339.21843	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light forming the fifth, the primal elements of great puissance.
Mbh.12.340.22056	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light numbering the fifth, these are the five Mahabhutas elements that have sprung from Ahankara.
Mbh.12.342.22336	Light, Earth, Wind, all disappear.
Mbh.12.342.22622	I have united the Earth with Water, Space with Mind, and Wind with Light.
Mbh.12.342.22633	They have their origin in action, and are called Bile, Phlegm, and Wind.
Mbh.12.344.22844	It is attached to the Wind, in consequence of which the Wind moves about in the world producing the sensation of touch.
Mbh.12.347.22999	Water then merges into Heat, and Heat into Wind.
Mbh.12.347.23000	Wind then merges into Space, which in its turn, merges into Mind.
Mbh.12.347.23159	Touch, which is the attribute of Wind, is also said to have Narayana for its soul.
Mbh.12.351.23520	The Wind is one, but it blows in diverse forms in the world.
Mbh.12.361.23826	What, again, can be more wonderful than this that the mighty Wind, emanating from Surya, takes refuge in his ray and thence yawns over the universe?
Mbh.12.361.23827	What can be more wonderful than this, O regenerate Rishi, that Surya, dividing the Wind into many portions from desire of doing good to all creatures, creates rain that falls in the rainy season?
Mbh.13.1.93	All acts in this world and all abstentions, as also all their modifications, are said to be influenced by Kala, Surya, Soma, Vishnu, Water, Wind, the deity of a hundred sacrificer, Fire, Sky, Earth, Mitra and Parjanya, Aditi, and the Vasus, Rivers and Oceans, all existent and non-existent objects, are created and destroyed by Kala.
