जड उवाच एवमुक्त्वा स तं वीरं पुत्राविदमथाब्रवीत् ।
पूजां कुवलयाश्वस्य कर्तुकामो भुजङ्गमः ॥
jaḍa uvāca evam uktvā sa taṃ vīraṃ putrāvidam atha abravīt | pūjāṃ kuvalayāśvasya kartukāmo bhujaṅgamaḥ ||
Jaḍa sprach: Nachdem er so geredet hatte, wandte er sich dann an jenen Helden — den seine Söhne kannten —, während der Schlangenherr, in dem Wunsch, Kuvalayāśva zu verehren, sich dazu anschickte.

FAQs
The teaching culminates in action: praise of virtue is followed by pūjā (honoring), indicating that dharma is affirmed socially and ritually, not merely by speech.
Narrative continuation within ākhyāna/vaṃśānucarita context; the ‘uvāca’ marker signals a sub-dialogue layer inside the Purāṇic storytelling architecture.
Pūjā of the virtuous person functions as recognition of dharma embodied; honoring such a figure is, indirectly, honoring the cosmic order (ṛta/dharma) that he represents.
