SÅ«ta said: Kṛṣṇa, upon whom Åšiva meditates, became pleased, having increased the Kuru family which was destroyed by the forest fire of anger, by protecting ParÄ«ká¹£it, and by installing Yudhiá¹£á¹hira in his rightful kingdom.
The answer shows that he took up the ruling of the country only after seeing that Krsna was pleased. Krsna increased the Kuru family, which had been destroyed by the fire (of anger) in the bamboo forest, by saving Pariksit. Just as the bamboo burns by the fire ignited by rubbing of the bamboos, the Kuru family was destroyed by a war which arose from mutual anger. Krsna makes even Siva (bhava) meditate on his pastimes (bhavanah).
