Verse 1.12.30 (Mohan Pr):
* Very instructive verse today.
* In this verse, the real meaning of the name of Maharaj Parikshit is being told. Parikshit means examiner, cause he was examining everyone to see if they were like the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
* Since the time he saw the SPG in the womb of his mother, he was immediately attracted and was always looking for that person whom he saw in the womb.
* But no one is equal to or more than the SPG, so he was unable to find anyone, but because he was always meditating on the SPG through this examination, he was engaged 24 hrs of the day in remembering the Lord.
* Opposite example is Kamsa, who was thinking of the Lord in an unfavorable way.
* SP is also giving hope to all parents here: Śrīla Jiva Gosvāmī remarks in this connection that every child, if given an impression of the Lord from his very childhood, certainly becomes a great devotee of the Lord like Mahārāja Parīksit. One may not be as fortunate as Mahārāja Parīksit to have the opportunity to see the Lord in the womb of his mother, but even if he is not so fortunate, he can be made so if the parents of the child desire him to be so.
- giving his life as an example as to how SP's father always was engaging him in some way or other in devotional service to Sri Sri Radha Krishna.
