Kena Upanishad 3.10
beginner
तस्मिंस्त्वयि किं वीर्यमित्यपीदं सर्वमाददीय यदिदं पृथिव्यामिति ॥

tasmiṁs tvayi kiṁ vīryam ity apīdaṁ sarvam ādadīya yad idaṁ pṛthivyām iti ||

""What power do you have?" "I could blow away everything on earth," Vayu replied."

What This Means:

Like Fire, Wind claimed unlimited power. He could move anything on earth, carry away mountains.

How To Apply This:

Our vital force feels powerful — we can do so much! But like Agni's fire, Vayu's wind will meet its match.

Key Sanskrit Terms:

Ādadīya= I could take up, carry away
