त॑ मया सह गत्वाद्य राजानं कुरु वर्धनम् | आपूृच्छ कुरुशार्दूल गमन द्वारकां प्रति,कुरुश्रेष्ठ॒ अब तुम मेरे साथ चलकर राजाको बधाई दो और मेरे द्वारका जानेके विषयमें उनसे पूछकर आज्ञा दिला दो
taṁ mayā saha gatvādya rājānaṁ kuru-vardhanam | āpṛccha kuruśārdūla gamanaṁ dvārakāṁ prati ||
तं मया सह गत्वाद्य राजानं कुरुवर्धनम्। आपृच्छ कुरुशार्दूल गमनं द्वारकां प्रति॥

Educational Q&A
Even powerful beings and heroes observe dharmic protocol: they congratulate the rightful king and seek formal permission before departing, emphasizing respect for authority, gratitude, and orderly conduct.
Vāyu instructs the addressed Kuru hero to accompany him to the king, offer felicitations, and then request and secure the king’s consent for Vāyu’s onward journey to Dvārakā.
