# The Love of Uttara Following this incident, Krishna performed the funeral rites for the countless soldiers who died in the battle of Kuruksetra. The Lord then prepared to leave for Dwaraka. Just then, Asvatthama directed another deadly *brahmastra* toward the pregnant Uttara (wife of Abhimanyu, Arjuna’s son) in a last-gasp attempt to terminate the final heir in the Pandava dynasty. Another shocking reversal! Though personally detached from the impending danger, Uttara desperately begged Krishna to save the child in her womb. Just like Arjuna, she knew only Krishna as the Supreme controller and the Supreme friend. Always ready to serve His unalloyed devotees, Krishna, as *Paramatma* (Supersoul in the heart), covered and protected the embryo with His personal energy, and simultaneously foiled the *brahmastra* weapon. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
