परितः ईक्षते इति परीक्षितः (Continued)

As ashwatthama released the narayanastra..... he knew where it had to strike . . . the womb of the youngest mother to be and the most delicate uttara, the widow of abhimanyu

knowing this , all the pandavas rushed to the one man, the only person who could stop this, the coll suave blue clad yadava king - vasudeva krsna , none but narayana himself !

krsna himself in his divine form went into the womb of uttara and saved the foetus.....and in the process, the child got to see the divine form of narayana  - "shanka chakra gadha paane dwaraka nilayachyutha....govinda pundareekaksha raksha maam sharanagatam"

However as fate would have it, despite krsna saving the child, it was still born......and then the heavens thundered " only a pure celibate bramhachari's touch will give life to this child''

and that's another story.....................
