Swamini Vato Prakaran 2 Vaat 146 · 2 · Verse 146
Sanskrit Original
Jaḷ, agni ne vāyu e sarvene hāth-pag chhe, paṇ te āpaṇne dekhātā nathī. Te jaḷ tāṇe chhe ne agni bāḷe chhe ne vāyu ṭhele chhe em Mahārāje kahyu chhe.
Water, fire, and wind all have hands and feet, but we cannot see them.1 The water carries away [in its current], fire burns, and wind moves. This is what Maharaj said. Footnotes: 1. 1. Swami’s purport is to explain that although water, fire, and wind are formless, their presiding deities (Varundev, Agnidev, and Vayudev) have a form, complete with hands and feet. These deities provide the power for their respective elements to soak, burn, move, etc. Maharaj has mentioned this in several Vachanamruts, including Gadhada I-45, Kariyani 4, and Gadhada II-10.
