Comparing to the trinity...

Verse 1.12.23 (Srinivas Acharya Pr):
* In this verse, the child PArikshit is being compared to 3 personalities
- Brahma and to Maharaj Yudhistira
- Lord Siva
- SPG, Lord Narayana
* First one: equanimity of mind, composed all the time
- Brahma was also criticized by the gopi's for giving eyelids, cause they were unable to see Krishna when they close
- MY was troubled by his brothers, but he was equanimous all the time
* The qualitiy is humility and helplessness. If a pure devotee prays for us, then the Lord will surely protect us.
- Mother Uttara praying to the SPG for PM.
* Second, PM being compared to Lord siva. He is pleased very easily.
- Eg: Lord Siva giving boon to Vratasura.
- When any devotee of Lord Siva tries to please Him, He will equally reciprocate with them, at all costs.
* Third, the goddess of fortune herself is in the shelter of Narayana. Similarly Maharaj Parikshit will be the shelter for many.
* Finally, it is concluded that by pleasing the SPG Narayana, everything is taken care of. The qualities of humility and selflessly chanting the holy name is the only way to please Lord Narayana.
