Fulfilling my vow and sacrificing His own promise, He got down from the chariot, took up its wheel, and ran towards me hurriedly, just as a lion goes to kill an elephant. He even dropped His outer garment on the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Battle of Kuruk\u1e63etra was fought on military principles but at the same time in a sporting spirit, like a friend\u2019s fight with another friend. Duryodhana criticized Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva, alleging that he was reluctant to kill Arjuna because of paternal affection. A k\u1e63atriya<\/i> cannot tolerate insults on the principle of fighting. Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva therefore promised that the next day he would kill all five P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas with special weapons made for the purpose. Duryodhana was satisfied, and he kept the arrows with him to be delivered the next day during the fight. By tricks Arjuna took the arrows from Duryodhana, and Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva could understand that this was the trick of Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. So he took a vow that the next day K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a would have to take up weapons Himself, otherwise His friend Arjuna would die. In the next day\u2019s fighting Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva fought so violently that both Arjuna and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a were in trouble. Arjuna was almost defeated; the situation was so tense that he was about to be killed by Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva the very next moment. At that time Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a wanted to please His devotee, Bh\u012b\u1e63ma, by keeping Bh\u012b\u1e63ma\u2019s promise, which was more important than His own. Seemingly He broke His own promise. He promised before the beginning of the Battle of Kuruk\u1e63etra that He would remain without weapons and would not use His strength for either of the parties. But to protect Arjuna He got down from the chariot, took up the wheel of the chariot and hurriedly rushed at Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva in an angry mood, as a lion goes to kill an elephant. He dropped His covering cloth on the way, and out of great anger He did not know that He had dropped it. Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva at once gave up his weapons and stood to be killed by K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, his beloved Lord. The fighting of the day was thus ended at that very moment, and Arjuna was saved. Of course there was no possibility of Arjuna\u2019s death because the Lord Himself was on the chariot, but because Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva wanted to see Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a take up some weapon to save His friend, the Lord created this situation, making Arjuna\u2019s death appear imminent. He stood before Bh\u012b\u1e63madeva to show him that his promise was fulfilled and that He had taken up the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
