When Maharaj Parikshit heard it that Lord Krishna (Vishnu), who is universally obeyed, out of His causeless mercy upon the malleable sons of Pandu, rendered all kinds of service in the matter of acceptance of the post of a chariot driver, to that of the presidentship according to the will of the Pandavas including the messengership, friendship, watchmanship at night, obeying like a servant and offering obeisances like one younger in age etc; at that time the king Maharaj Parikshit became overwhelmed with devotion unto the lotus feet of the Lord.

Lord Krishna is everything to the unalloyed devotees like the Pandavas. The Lord was for them the Supreme Lord, the spiritual master, the worshipable deity, the guide, the chariot driver, the friend, the servant, the messenger and everything as they could conceive of Him; and thus the Lord also reciprocated the feeling of the Pandavas. Maharaj Parikshit as a pure devotee of the Lord could only appreciate the Lord's transcendental reciprocation of the feeling of His devotees and thus he himself also became overwhelmed with the dealings of the Lord. Simply by appreciating the dealings of the Lord with His pure devotees one can attain to salvation. The Lord's dealings with His devotees appear to be ordinary human-dealings but one who knows it in truth becomes at once elligible for going back to home back to Godhead. The Pandavas were so much malleable to the will of the Lord that they could sacrifice any amount of their energy for the service of the Lord and by such unalloyed determination only they could secure the Lord's mercy in any shape they desired.

Mahārāja Parīkṣit heard that out of His causeless mercy Lord Kṛṣṇa [Viṣṇu], who is universally obeyed, rendered all kinds of service to the malleable sons of Pāṇḍu by accepting posts ranging from chariot driver to president to messenger, friend, night watchman, etc., according to the will of the Pāṇḍavas, obeying them like a servant and offering obeisances like one younger in years. When he heard this, Mahārāja Parīkṣit became overwhelmed with devotion to the lotus feet of the Lord.
