PURPORT

This incidence took place after the death of Abhimnyu, husband of Uttara. As widow of Abhimnyu although a very young girl she should have followed the path of her husband but because she was pregnant and Maharaj Parikshit a great devotee of the Lord was lying in embryo, she was responsible for his protection. The mother of a child has great responsibility in giving all protection to the child and therefore she was not ashamed to express frankly about it before Lord Krishna. Uttara was the daughter of a great king, the wife of a great hero and student of a great devotee and later she was the mother of a good king also. She was fortunate in every respect.
