The same failure. Even Vāyu — wind, the mover of mountains — cannot stir a blade of grass. The repetition drives the teaching home: power borrowed is power conditional.
यक्ष ने उसके सामने एक तृण रखा — "इसे उठा ले जा।" वायु अपनी पूरी शक्ति से उस पर झपटा, परन्तु उसे हिला न सका। वह लौट आया — "मैं नहीं जान सका कि यह यक्ष क्या है।"
