of bad luck; we are always in an auspicious position because of Your grace. But because You have bestowed a special favor on us, people should not mistakenly think that You are partial to some and inattentive to others. You make no such distinction. No one is Your favorite and no one is Your enemy. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, You are equal to everyone, and everyone can take advantage of Your special protection. The fact is that although You are equal to everyone, You are especially inclined to the devotees who always think of You. The devotees are related to You by ties of love. As such, they cannot forget You even for a moment. You are present in everyone's heart, but because the devotees always remember You, You also respond accordingly. Although the mother has affection for all the children, she takes special care of the one who is fully dependent. I know certainly, my dear Krṣṇa, that being seated in everyone's heart, You always create auspicious situations for Your unalloyed devotees."
Then King Yudhiṣṭhira also praised Krṣṇa as the Supreme Personality and universal friend of everyone, but because Krṣṇa was taking special care of the Pāṇḍavas, King Yudhiṣṭhira said: "My dear Krṣṇa, we do not know what sort of pious activities we have executed in our past lives that have made You so kind and graceful to us. We know very well that the great mystics who are always engaged in meditation to capture You do not find it easy to obtain such grace, nor can they draw any personal attention from You. I cannot understand why You are so kind upon us. We are not  yogīs , but, on the contrary, we are attached to material contaminations. We are householders dealing in politics, worldly affairs. I do not know why You are so kind upon us."
Being requested by King Yudhiṣṭhira, Krṣṇa agreed to stay in Hastināpura for four months during the rainy season. The four months of the rainy season are called  Cāturmāsya . During this period, the generally itinerant preachers and  brāhmaṇas  stop at a certain place and live under rigid regulative principles. Although Lord Krṣṇa is above all regulative principles, He agreed to stay at Hastināpura out of affection for the Pāṇḍavas. Taking this opportunity of Krṣṇa's residence in Hastināpura, all the citizens of the town got the privilege of seeing Him now and then, and thus they merged into transcendental bliss simply by seeing Lord Krṣṇa eye to eye.
One day while Krṣṇa was staying with the Pāṇḍavas, He and Arjuna prepared themselves to go to the forest to hunt. Both of them sat down on the chariot, which flew a flag with a picture of Hanumān. Arjuna's special chariot is always marked with the picture of Hanumān, and therefore his name is also Kapidhvaja. ( Kapi  means Hanumān, and  dhvaja  means "flag.")
