In plain words
“Though one has wealth and grain and a righteous nature, there is the worry of having no children; though one swaggers as a man of great learning, one suffers for want of a job.”
Wealth and pleasure are not ours. We must not crave them. We must carry out our duties properly. But whatever work we do, when the feeling ‘I am doing this to please God’ is firm in us, we will never meet with hardship or loss.
The great departure of the Pāṇḍavas
While Kuntī Devī was Pāṇḍu's queen, she had no worries of any kind. From the time Pāṇḍu died, her troubles began. She grieved for her sons, she grieved for her daughter-in-law. Their going to the forest, their hardships... All these kept afflicting her, one upon another. Yet through her unshaken Bhakti and faith in Kṛṣṇa Paramātma she did not sink under her troubles, and spent her days with an even mind. Kṛṣṇa Paramātma kept protecting the Pāṇḍavas in every way. At last, when Kṛṣṇa ended His Avatāra, Arjuna set out for Hastinā with the women of Dvārakā. On the way, when forest tribesmen surrounded them, Arjuna could not even lift his Gāṇḍīva, and he cried out, ‘Alas, where has my strength gone today?’ “That strength was not mine, it was Kṛṣṇa's alone! It was Kṛṣṇa Himself who held the Gāṇḍīva in those days and made me fight”, he realised.
In Hastinā, Kuntī Devī was waiting for Arjuna to come. She was anxious to hear news of Kṛṣṇa's welfare. As soon as she saw Arjuna, she asked, ‘My son! Is Kṛṣṇa well?’ ‘Where is Kṛṣṇa now, Mother!’, said Arjuna, and sank to the ground. The moment she heard those words, Kuntī Devī closed her eyes in death, as though she had gone to look for Kṛṣṇa.
