sri-badarayanir uvaca

vijñatartho ’pi govindo

 dagdhan akarnya pandavan

kuntim ca kulya-karane

 saha-ramo yayau kurun

 

Translation: 

 

Sri Badarayani said: Although Lord Govinda was fully aware of what had actually occurred, when He heard reports that the Pandavas and Queen Kunti had burned to death, He went with Lord Balarama to the kingdom of the Kurus to fulfill the family obligations expected of Him.

 

Purport: 

 

The Lord was quite aware that the Pandavas had escaped the assassination plot of Duryodhana, although the world heard the false news that the Pandavas and their mother had perished in the fire.
