Tulsidas ji has written in the 25th couplet of Sundar Kand on the incident when Hanuman ji had set fire to Lanka –

hari prerit tehi avasar chale marut unachaas. attahaas kari garja kapi badhi laag akaas..

Meaning: When Hanuman ji handed over Lanka to fire –
With the inspiration of God, forty nine winds started blowing.
Hanuman ji roared with laughter and increased in size and flew into the sky.

I thought what is the meaning of these forty nine Maruts? Even Tulsi Das ji did not write this. Then after completing Sunderkand, I took out time and searched for information about 49 types of Vayu and after studying, I became extremely proud of Sanatan Dharma.

Was pleasantly surprised by Tulsidasji’s knowledge of air, of which perhaps even modern meteorology is unaware.

You will be surprised to know that there is a detailed description of the 7 branches of air in the Vedas.
Most people think that air is of the same type, but its form keeps changing, such as cold air, hot air and uniform air, but it is not so.

Actually, the air inside the water has been given a different name in the Vedas and Puranas and the air present in the sky has a different name. The air in space has a different name and the air in the underworld has a different name. The name being different means that its qualities and behavior are also different. In this way, there is a description of 7 types of air in the Vedas.

These are 7 types-
1.flow,
2. Aaah,
3.Udvah,
4. Convection,
5.Marriage,
6.Transport
7.Paravah.

1. Flow: The air that crosses the earth and extends up to the clouds is called flow. There are also types of this flow. This wind is very powerful and it blows the clouds here and there. This flowing air fills the clouds generated by sunlight and heat with sea water due to which these clouds turn into dark clouds and cause heavy rainfall.

2. Avah: Avah is bound in the solar system. It is through this that the Sun is bound to the pole and rotated.

3. Udvah: The name of the third branch of air is Udvah, which is established in Chandralok. Through this, the lunar disk is rotated after being connected to the pole.

4. Samvah: The name of the fourth branch of air is Samvah, which is located in the constellation. Due to this, the entire constellation keeps rotating by being bound to the pole.

5. Vivah: The name of the fifth branch is Vivah and it is located in the planetary system. It is through that that the planet remains connected to the pole and keeps rotating.

6. Parivaha: The name of the sixth branch of air is Parivaha, which is located in Saptarshimandal. Through this, the seven sages associated with the pole travel in the sky.

7. Paravaha: The name of the seventh wing of air is Paravaha, which is bound to the pole. Through this, the Dhruva Chakra and other circles remain established at one place.

There are seven types of these seven airs which roam in the following places.

1. Brahmalok,
2. Indralok,
3. Space,
4. East direction of earth,
5. West direction of earth,
6. North direction of earth
7. South direction of the earth.

Thus 7 x 7 = 49. There are a total of 49 Maruts who keep roaming in the form of gods.

Amazing knowledge.

Jai Shri Ram – Jai Hanuman 🙏🚩
