sūtaḥŚrī Sūta Gosvāmī said uvācaŚrī Sūta Gosvāmī said — Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī said; yaḥone who — one who; vaicertainly — certainly; drauṇiby the weapon of the son of Droṇa-astraby the weapon of the son of Droṇa — by the weapon of the son of Droṇa; vipluṣṭaḥburned by — burned by; nanever — never; mātuḥof the mother — of the mother; udarein the womb — in the womb; mṛtaḥmet his death — met his death; anugrahātby the mercy — by the mercy; bhagavataḥof the Personality of Godhead — of the Personality of Godhead; kṛṣṇasyaKṛṣṇa — Kṛṣṇa; adbhutawho acts wonderfully-karmaṇaḥwho acts wonderfully — who acts wonderfully.
Śrī Sūta Gosvāmī said: Due to the mercy of the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who acts wonderfully, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, though struck by the weapon of the son of Droṇa in his mother's womb, could not be burned.
The sages of Naimiṣāraṇya became struck with wonder after hearing about the wonderful administration of Mahārāja Parīkṣit, especially in reference to his punishing the personality of Kali and making him completely unable to do any harm within the kingdom. Sūta Gosvāmī was equally anxious to describe Mahārāja Parīkṣit's wonderful birth and death, and this verse is stated by Sūta Gosvāmī to increase the interest of the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya.
