said.

Then the Brahman said: "What power is in thee?" Vayu replied: "I

Brahman placed a straw before him and said: "Blow this away." He
(Vayu) rushed towards it with all speed, but was not able to blow
it away. So he returned from there and said (to the Devas): "I
was not able to find out what this great mystery is."
