मातापितृपूजन-प्रधानधर्मः (Primacy of Filial Service) — Mārkaṇḍeya’s Account of the Vyādha’s Instruction
उत्तड़कविप्रसहित: कुवलाश्वो महीपति: । पुत्रै: सह महीपाल: प्रययौ भरतर्षभ,भरतश्रेष्ठ] इसी समय राजा कुवलाश्वने अपनी सेना, सवारी तथा पुत्रोंके साथ प्रस्थान किया। उनके साथ विप्रवर उत्तंक भी थे
Uttaṅkaviprasahitaḥ Kuvalāśvo mahīpatiḥ | putraiḥ saha mahīpālaḥ prayayau Bharatarṣabha ||
马尔坎德耶说道：于是，大地之主俱瓦拉湿婆王与婆罗门乌坦迦及其诸子一同启程。就这样，护国之君出发了——噢，婆罗多族中的雄牛——显出一位依正法而行的王者，准备在灵性导师的劝诫与指引下协力而动。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights an ideal of dharmic kingship: a ruler acts with readiness and responsibility, while also valuing the presence and counsel of a learned brāhmaṇa, suggesting that power should move in harmony with spiritual-ethical guidance.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that King Kuvalāśva departs on an expedition or journey, accompanied by the brāhmaṇa Uttanka and by his sons, marking the beginning of the next action in the story.
