what is not wanted. And to counteract them, the remedies which | under-
took were more dangerous than the disease itself. So I drift from one
point to another birth after birth, and I pray to You therefore to give me
a shelter at Your lotus feet.”

The Pandava kings, who are more than many saints of the world, know
the bitter results of the materialistic way of life. They are never captivated
by the glare of the imperial throne they occupy, and they seek always the
opportunity of being called by the Lord to associate with Him eternally.
Maharaja Pariksit was the worthy grandson of Maharaja Yudhisthira.
Maharaja Yudhisthira gave up the imperial throne to his grandson, and
similarly Maharaja Pariksit, the grandson of Maharaja Yudhisthira, gave up
the imperial throne to his son Janamejaya .That is the way of all the kings in
the dynasty because they are all strictly in the line of Lord Krsna. Thus the
devotees of the Lord are never enchanted by the glare of materialistic life,
and they live impartially, unattached to the objects of the false illusory
materialistic way of life.
