This verse highlights that after the father’s death, the grieving children and their mother were brought under the king’s shelter in his own city—showing the dharmic duty of rulers to protect dependents.
In context, Akrūra is recounting what he has heard: after Pāṇḍu’s death, Kuntī and her sons (the Pāṇḍavas) were brought by the king (Dhṛtarāṣṭra) to his city (Hastināpura) and lived there.
Support grieving families with tangible shelter and care; dharma is not only sentiment but responsible action—especially toward those left vulnerable after a loss.
