Educational Q&A
Even when one has powerful allies and divine protectors, worldly suffering can persist; the verse highlights reliance on righteous protection (nātha) while underscoring the moral tension and anguish that precede war.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a lament addressed to Kṛṣṇa (Madhusūdana), emphasizing that Kuntī (implicitly) has protectors like Kṛṣṇa, Balarāma, and Pradyumna, yet she is still forced to bear intense sorrow amid the escalating conflict.
