Friends and family members -- even children, brothers and parents -- forget a dear one whom Providence no longer favors.
Srila Sridhara Svami and Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura both comment that Kunti does not blame her relatives for her suffering. Thus she calls them "most saintly persons" and alludes here to her own bad fortune as the cause of her unhappiness.
