قال فايشَمبايانا: ثم دخل الابن الأكبر للملك، پṛثِڤِيچَيا (أوتّارا). فانحنى عند قدمي أبيه، ثم حيّا كَنْكا (يودهيشثيرا متنكّرًا) بتحية احترام، ووقف قائمًا في خدمة المجلس.

The verse highlights dharma in social conduct: honoring one’s father and showing due respect to esteemed persons at court. Ethical order is maintained through humility, proper greetings, and attentive service, regardless of a guest’s outward status.
Virāṭa’s eldest son Uttara (Pṛthivījaya) enters the inner court, bows to his father’s feet, and respectfully greets Kaṅka—who is actually Yudhiṣṭhira living incognito during the Pāṇḍavas’ year of concealment—then stands ready to attend.
