Here apparent chance prepares a saving encounter. It is significant that Bhima — the strongest — "as it happened" remains beside his mother in the hour when a cry of distress will sound: what is called chance is often the hand of providence. Here it is seen that providence arranges events so that the needed one is in the needed place: the deliverer turns out to be exactly where deliverance will be needed. So scripture shows that behind the sequence of ordinary events a hidden order operates; and the trifling detail of "staying home" opens the way to a great rescue.
