नक्षत्रेषु श्राद्धफलविधानम् (Śrāddha Outcomes According to Nakṣatras)
कुरुकुलका भार वहन करनेवाले पितामह! मैं आपके मुखसे यह तारक-वधका सम्पूर्ण वृत्तान्त सुनना चाहता हूँ। इसके लिये मेरे मनमें बड़ा कौतूहल है ।।
Bhīṣma uvāca: Vipannakṛtyā rājendra devatā ṛṣayas tathā | Kṛttikāś codayāmāsur apatya-bharaṇāya vai ||
毗湿摩说道：“大王啊，当他们的谋划陷入危急、几近败坏之时，诸天与诸仙便劝请六位克利提迦承担抚育那孩子的责任，使既定的目的不致落空。”

When a righteous or necessary undertaking is threatened, dharma expresses itself as shared responsibility: capable agents are urged to protect and sustain what must be preserved, placing the welfare of the larger purpose above personal preference.
Bhīṣma explains that the gods and sages, seeing their plan endangered, prompt the six Kṛttikās to take up the task of nurturing the child (linked in the wider episode to the divine child’s care after complications in his birth narrative).
