The child Parikshit was saved by the all powerful and all pervasive Vishnu (Lord Krishna) for two reasons. The first reason is that the child in the womb of his mother was as spotless as whitness on account of his becoming a pure devotee of the Lord. The second reason is that the child who was the only surviving male descendant in the chain of descendental line of Puru the pious forefather of the virtuous king Maharaj Yudhisthir. The Lord wants to continue the line of pious kings to rule over the earth as His representatives for actual progress of peaceful and prosperous life. After the battle of Kurukshetra, even upto the next generation of Maharaj Yudhisthir was annihilated and there were none who could generate another son in the great royal family. Maharaj Parikshit the son of Abhimanyu was the only surviving heir apparent in the family and by the irresistible supernatural Brahmastra weapon of Aswatthama, he was enforced to be annihilated. Lord Krishna is described herein as Vishnu and this is also significant. Lord Krishna the origiral Personality of Godhead does the work of protection and annihilation in His capacity as Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is the plenary expansion of Lord Krishna and the all pervasive activities of the Lord is executed by Him by His Vishnu feature. Child Parikshit is described here as the spotless white because he is unalloyed devotee of the Lord. Such unalloyed devotees of the Lord appear on the earth just to execute the mission of the Lord. The Lord desires that the conditioned souls hovering over the material creation, may be reclaimed back to home back to Godhead and thus He helps them by preparing the transcendental literatures like the Vedas, by sending missionaries of saints and sages and by deputing His representatives as the spiritual master. Such transcendental literatures, missionaries and representatives of the Lord are spotless white because the contamination of material qualities cannot even touch them. They are always protected by the Lord when they are attempted to be annihilated. Such foolish endeavour is exhibited by the gross materialists. The Brahmastra which was released by Aswatthama upon the Child Parikshit, was certainly supernaturally powerful and nothing of the material world could resist its force of penetration; but the all powerful Lord Who is present everywhere within and without, could counteract it by His all powerful potency just to save a bonafide servant of the Lord and descendant of another devotee Maharaj Yudhisthir who was always obliged by the Lord by His causeless mercy.

The child Parīkṣit was saved by the all-powerful and all-pervasive Viṣṇu (Lord Kṛṣṇa) for two reasons. The first reason is that the child in the womb of his mother was spotless due to his being a pure devotee of the Lord. The second reason is that the child was the only surviving male descendant of Puru, the pious forefather of the virtuous King Yudhiṣṭhira. The Lord wants to continue the line of pious kings to rule over the earth as His representatives for the actual progress of a peaceful and prosperous life. After the Battle of Kurukṣetra, even up to the next generation of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was annihilated, and there were none who could generate another son in the great royal family. Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the son of Abhimanyu, was the only surviving heir apparent in the family, and by the irresistible supernatural #i#brahmāstra#/i# weapon of Aśvatthāmā, he was forced to be annihilated. Lord Kṛṣṇa is described herein as Viṣṇu, and this is also significant. Lord Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead, does the work of protection and annihilation in His capacity of Viṣṇu. Lord Viṣṇu is the plenary expansion of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The all-pervasive activities of the Lord are executed by Him in His Viṣṇu feature. Child Parīkṣit is described here as spotlessly white because he is an unalloyed devotee of the Lord. Such unalloyed devotees of the Lord appear on the earth just to execute the mission of the Lord. The Lord desires the conditioned souls hovering in the material creation to be reclaimed to go back home, back to Godhead, and thus He helps them by preparing the transcendental literatures like the #i#Vedas#/i#, by sending missionaries of saints and sages and by deputing His representative, the spiritual master. Such transcendental literatures, missionaries and representatives of the Lord are spotlessly white because the contamination of the material qualities cannot even touch them. They are always protected by the Lord when they are threatened with annihilation. Such foolish threats are made by the gross materialists. The #i#brahmāstra#/i#, which was thrown by Aśvatthāmā at the child Parīkṣit, was certainly supernaturally powerful, and nothing of the material world could resist its force of penetration. But the all-powerful Lord, who is present everywhere, within and without, could counteract it by His all-powerful potency just to save a bona fide servant of the Lord and descendant of another devotee, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, who was always obliged by the Lord by His causeless mercy.
