Kunti's prayer to Krishna

At the end of the Maha Bharatha War between Kauravas and Pandavas , When the entire Kaurava army has perished, Aswathama the son of Guru Drona releases the Brahmastra to kill all the Pandavas. In return Arjuna also sends another Brahmasthra. Lord Krishana makes Arjuna take the Gem on the head (shiro rathna) of Aswathama and asks Aswathama to aim his asthra at the unborn child of Abhimanyu. Lord Krishna then enters the womb of the wife of Abhimanyu and saves her child. Thus the clan of Pandavas is saved. At this juncture Kunti the mother of the Pandavas addresses this prayer to Lord Krishna. This occurs in the 8th chapter of the first Skanda of Bhagwata Puranam. Kunthi is also the sister of Vasudeva, the father of Krishna. Thus she is the maternal aunt of Lord Krishna. The following are verses 20 - 24 from Kunthi Sthuthi with meaning:

Apyadhya nasthwam swakruthehitha prabho jihaasasi swith suhrudho anujeevina,
Yeshaam na chanyathbhavatha padambujath paraayanam rajasu yojithaamhasaam.

Oh Lord , you always had our interest in mind,
And today you are going away from us ,
And we your friends do not have any other protection ,
Other than, Your lotus like feet
And we have made enemies of other kings,
By inflicting lot of suffering on them by this war.

Ke vayam namaroopabhyaam yadhubhi saha pandava,
Bhavatho adarashanam yarhi hrishi kaanas mivesithu.

When your name and form are not with Yadhus and Pandavas,
They all would become like the body without the soul.

Neyam shobhishyathe thathra yadhe dhanam gadha dhara,
Thwad padai rangitha bhathi swa lakshana vilakshithai.

Oh Lord with the mace, this earth will not shine the as it does now,
As it would not be adorned by your feet and would not have great symbols.

Ime jana padhaa svruddhaa supa koushaadhi virudha,
Vanadhri nadhy dhan vantho hyedhanthe thava veekshithai.

This territory with its forests, hills, ripe crops and vegetation,
Will flourish only when they receive your benign glances.

Adha Vishwesa vishwathman Viswamoorthe swakeshu may,
Sneha pasam imam chindhi drudam pandushu Vrushneshu.

So Lord of the universe, soul of the universe, personification of the universe,
Please cut off the strong bondage that I have to the clan of Pandu and Vrushni.
 

Thus she seeks liberation from her maaya, her attachment to this material world.
