Srimad Bhagavata Purana, Canto 1, Chapter 8 (Kunti-stuti) · Sage Veda-Vyasa (as spoken by Queen Kunti) · Classical Puranic era
After the great Mahabharata war, as Lord Krishna prepared to return to Dwaraka, Queen Kunti — the mother of the Pandavas — approached Him and poured out this prayer. Recalling how He had repeatedly delivered her and her sons from deadly perils (the poison, the house of lac, the assembly, the forest, and the brahmastra of Ashwatthama), she glorified Him as the transcendental Supreme Person, hidden from ordinary eyes by Maya. Her words, recorded by Veda-Vyasa in the Bhagavata, became one of the most beloved prayers of surrender in all of Vaishnava literature.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
When Ashwatthama released the brahmastra to destroy the unborn child in Uttara's womb, Krishna entered the womb and shielded the baby (Parikshit) from the fiery weapon — one of the very deliverances Kunti recalls. Devotees hold that those who pray her words with sincerity gain the same shelter of the Lord, who protects His surrendered ones from every danger and from rebirth itself.

Kunti Stuti ਪਾਠ ਵਿਧੀ
Sit calmly before an image of Sri Krishna and recite the verses slowly, reflecting on their meaning — that the Lord is hidden by Maya yet ever protects His devotees. Dwell especially on Kunti's prayer to welcome adversity for the sake of remembering Him.
