The story of Parikshith…

In a very short time, Parikshith became a very good ruler and administrator. He was deeply loved and liked by his people. On the banks of holy Ganges he conducted three Aswametha Yagas. He was strictly following the Dharma advocated by his ancestors. His sole focus was in the well-being of his people. He used to roam around in his kingdom to know the actual position of his people and the state of affairs in the country.

All these visits gave him insight into his past and his ancestors. Thus he came to know about the greatness of Pandavas, the Dharmayudham at Kurukshetra and all the tales of his big family. The more he heard and knew about Lord Krishna and how he saved them from unending troubles and saved his own life from Brahmastram, his devotion in the Lord became stronger day by day. He became a true devotee of the Lord.

One day as usual he was traveling in his country, then he happened to see an unusual thing happening before his eyes.
