KB 10.82.17
In this meeting at Kurukṣetra, Kuntīdevī and Vasudeva, who were sister and brother, met after a long separation, along with their respective sons and daughters-in-law, children and other family members. By talking among themselves, they soon forgot all their past miseries.
Purport
Even the constant anxiety of a pure devotee, apparently just the opposite of the impersonalists’
śānti,
can be an exalted manifestation of love of God, as exemplified by Śrīmatī Kuntīdevī, the aunt of Lord Kṛṣṇa and mother of the Pāṇḍavas.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The relationship between Kuntī and Vasudeva is described in five verses. Brothers were Vasudeva and others. Sisters were Śrutadevī and others. His sons were Balarāma, Gada and Santardana and others. Parents were Śura and his wife Bhojyā. Brothers’ wives were Śrīdevī and others. She gave up the sorrow of not seeing them for so long. Or it can mean she shed tears ( sucaḥ jahau).
