Dharma-vyādha on Parental Worship
Pitṛ-mātṛ-śuśrūṣā as Paramadaivata
मधुश्न कैटभश्वैव दृष्टवन्तौ हरिं प्रभुम् ब्रह्माजीके प्रकट होनेके कुछ काल बाद मधु और कैटभ नामक दो पराक्रमी दानवोंने सर्वसामर्थ्यवान् भगवान् श्रीहरिको देखा
madhuś ca kaiṭabhaś caiva dṛṣṭavantau hariṁ prabhum | brahmājīke prakaṭ hone ke kuch kāla bād madhu aur kaiṭabha nāmak do parākramī dānavoṁ ne sarvasāmarthyavān bhagavān śrīhari ko dekhā |
マールカンデーヤは言った。「マドゥとカイタバ——その二体の強大なアスラ——は、至上の主ハリを目にした。ブラフマーが顕現してしばらく後、力に満ちた彼らは、万有の力を具える主シュリー・ハリに遭遇したのである。」

Even formidable powers that arise in the cosmos ultimately stand before the Supreme Lord; the narrative underscores that true sovereignty and sustaining power belong to Hari, and that cosmic order (dharma) is upheld by the divine.
Mārkaṇḍeya introduces an episode set after Brahmā’s manifestation: the two powerful demons Madhu and Kaitabha come to behold Hari, setting the stage for a larger account of divine action against disruptive forces.
