From the time of her marriage, O subduer of foes, she has met with hardships from her in-laws; though undeserving, she has had to witness humiliations and thus undergo distress.

May there come, O Kṛṣṇa, that time when suffering is reversed—when I might place my afflicted mother in comfort, O subduer of foes.

न नूनं म्रियते दुःखैः सा चेज्जीवति केशव । तथा पुत्राधिभिर्गाढमार्ता ह्यानर्तसत्कृता॥५-८१-४५॥
Surely she does not die even from sorrow—if she is still alive, O Keśava—though she was intensely afflicted by grief for her son, and was treated without due regard in Ānarta.
