Text

Sūta said: Yudhiṣṭhira, like his father, freed from personal desires by engaging in service to the Lord, satisfied and protected the citizens.

Purport

Three verses describe Yudhisthira in order to indicate that the cause of attaining such a grandson was his attachment to Krsna. Apipalat means “he protected.”
