इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणे पुत्रानुशासनं नाम षड्विंशोऽध्यायः ।
सप्तविंशोऽध्यायः । जड उवाच ।
एवमुल्लाप्यमानस्तु स तु मात्रा दिने दिने ।
ववृधे वयसा बालो बुद्ध्या चाऽलर्कसंज्ञितः ॥
iti śrīmārkaṇḍeyapurāṇe putrānuśāsanaṃ nāma ṣaḍviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ | saptaviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ | jaḍa uvāca | evam ullāpyamānas tu sa tu mātrā dine dine | vavṛdhe vayasā bālo buddhyā cālarkasaṃjñitaḥ ||
至此，《圣·摩迦ṇḍeya往世书》中名为《训诫其子》的第二十六章告终；第二十七章开始。惰者阇荼（Jaḍa）说道：那孩子日日受母亲教诲，年岁与智慧俱增，遂为人称作阿拉尔迦（Ālarka）。

FAQs
Repeated instruction (śikṣā) is shown as formative: the mother’s daily counsel becomes the cause of both maturity and discernment, indicating the purāṇic emphasis on saṃskāra through steady guidance.
This is a narrative seam (adhyāya-saṃdhi) and not a pancalakṣaṇa element. It supports vaṃśānucarita-style storytelling by marking the progression of a royal figure.
The ‘day-by-day’ instruction suggests sādhana through repetition: wisdom is not merely heard once but internalized until it becomes one’s very identity (here, the emergence of Ālarka as a recognized persona).
