Who · Kṛṣṇa, Kuntī, Parīkṣit and the Pāṇḍavas
The story · The Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī went to the Ganges to offer water to their dead relatives. Kṛṣṇa understood that Aśvatthāmā had released a brahmāstra to destroy the last life in the Pāṇḍava family, and Parīkṣit was saved. Kuntī offered respectful prayers to the Lord, acknowledging that her family depended entirely on His mercy and protection. She asked that her attraction flow toward Him without diversion, just as the Ganges flows toward the sea.
What it teaches · Kuntī’s prayer expresses dependence on Kṛṣṇa and the desire for uninterrupted devotion. The Lord remains unborn and transcendental even while protecting His devotees within this world.
