Chapter 8: Prayers by Queen Kunti and Parikshit Saved. Text 37

अप्यद्य नस्त्वं स्वकृतेहित प्रभो जिहाससि स्वित्सुहृदोऽनुजीविनः ।
येषां न चान्यद्भवतः पदाम्बुजात्परायणं राजसु योजितांहसाम् ॥३७॥

apy adya nas tvaá¹ sva-ká¹›tehita prabho
jihÄsasi svit suhá¹›do 'nujÄ«vinaḥ
yeá¹£Äá¹ na cÄnyad bhavataḥ padÄmbujÄt
parÄyaṇaá¹ rÄjasu yojitÄá¹hasÄm

O Lord! Do you, whose deeds are automatically accomplished, desire to reject us today, though we are your friends and depend on you? We, having created trouble with many kings, have no other shelter than your lotus feet.

Purport

We, and not others, become happy on seeing you and suffer on not seeing you. The time of happiness has passed and the time of suffering has arrived.

“Do you desire to leave us today, since you desire to go to Dvaraka?â€

“But I have stayed many days. Now I must go to Dvaraka. I have necessary work there. Please give your assent.â€

To this Kunti answers, “But you are the person whose necessary works are already accomplished. Your intentions fulfill themselves automatically (sva-krtehita). Some versions have the word without the visarga (h). Then it would a vocative address to Krsna, “O self-accomplisher!†The Pandavas had created suffering for many kings by killing their fathers or relatives. We depend on you (anujivinah). Therefore stay here and protect my sons.
