sri-badarayanih uvaca -- Sri Sukadeva Gosvami, the son of Badarayana, said; vijnata -- aware; arthah -- of the facts; api -- although; govindah -- Lord Krishna; dagdhan -- burned to death; akarnya -- hearing; pandavan -- the sons of Pandu; kuntim -- their mother, Kunti; ca -- and; kulya -- family obligations; karane -- to carry out; saha-ramah -- together with Lord Balarama; yayau -- went; kurun -- to the kingdom of the Kurus.
Sri Badarayani said: Although Lord Govinda was fully aware of what had actually occurred, when He heard reports that the Pandavas and Queen Kunti had burned to death, He went with Lord Balarama to the kingdom of the Kurus to fulfill the family obligations expected of Him.
The Lord was quite aware that the Pandavas had escaped the assassination plot of Duryodhana, although the world heard the false news that the Pandavas and their mother had perished in the fire.
