The people rejoice at the coming of the Pandavas, but doubts about their origin at once arise. The world judges by appearances and by ordinary reasoning: "Pandu died long ago — how can they be his sons?" — not knowing of the divine design, of their birth from the gods through the secret method of dharma. Herein lies a lesson: a materialistic outlook cannot grasp the transcendent workings of the Lord; the true, spiritual origin of His devotees remains hidden from worldly reckoning. And yet the "noble" (shishtah) rejoice — those pure at heart recognize and accept the devotees even while others doubt. So it is even now: the glory of the Lord and of His devotees is discerned only by a purified heart.
