至上神格権現、超越世界と世俗世界の両者の支配者は、ブラフマナの呪いの姿を取って丁重に私を追い抜かれた。私があまりにも家庭生活に執着していたために、主は私を救済するために、恐れを用いて私を世界から引き離すという手段で、私の前に現れたのだ。
Mahārāja Parīkṣit, although born in a family of great devotees, the Pāṇḍavas, and although securely trained in transcendental attachment for the association of the Lord, still found the allurement of mundane family life so strong that he had to be detached by a plan of the Lord. Such direct action is taken by the Lord in the case of a special devotee. Mahārāja Parīkṣit could understand this by the presence of the topmost transcendentalists in the universe. The Lord resides with His devotees, and therefore the presence of the great saints indicated the presence of the Lord. The King therefore welcomed the presence of the great ṛṣis as a mark of favor of the Supreme Lord.
