The assurances and challenges made by Maharaj Parikshit are never exaggeration of his real power. The Maharaj said that even the denizens of heaven could not escape his stringent government if they were breaker of religious principles. He was not proud falsely because a devotee of the Lord is equally or sometimes more powerful than the Lord by His Grace and any promise made by a devotee, may be ordinarily very difficult to be fulfilled, is properly executed by the Grace of the Lord. The Pandavas by their unalloyed devotional service and full surrender unto the Lord made it possible that the Lord sometimes became the chariot driver or sometimes their messenger carrying their letters. Such duties by the Lord for His devotee are always very much pleasing to the Lord because the Lord wants to render service to His unalloyed devotee whose life has no other engagement than to serve the Lord with full love and devotion. Maharaj Parikshit grandson of Arjuna the celebrated friendly servitor of the Lord, was exactly a pure devotee of the Lord like his grandfathers and therefore the Lord was always with him even from the time when he was helplessly lying in the womb of his mother and was attacked by the blazing Brahmastra weapon of Aswatthama. A devotee is always under the protection of the Lord and therefore, assurance of protection by Maharaj Parikshit could never be without meaning. The Personality of religiosity accepted this fact and thus thanked the King for his becoming true to his exhalted position.
