Supreme!

Hearing that Duryodhana planned to arrest Krsna, Vidura warned Dhritrāshtra: If your sons attempt this rash act, they’ll perish like flies entering a blazing fire


Sri Krsna said: O King! You may go ahead & allow your sons to try & seize Me, for in this way Pāndavās goal will be easily attained. After capturing Kauravas, I will hand them over to Yudhisthira so that he can do with them as he likes


Dhritrāshtra said: Vidura, pls summon Duryodhana, his brothers & advisors, for I will make one last attempt to rectify situation


Duryodhana once again entered the royal court, followed by brothers & other kings. Angry Dhritrāshtra chastised him with strong words: You are most sinful wretch & surrounded by most despicable & evil-minded councilors


How can you dare even think of harming Sri Krsna, who is unconquerable even by greatest demigods? You are infamy personified appearing in our dynasty, for only you would stoop so low as to attempt such a dastardly act. You are not only wicked, but greatest fool as well, for you're trying to accomplish impossible, like a child attempting to catch moon


Vidura said: Duryodhana, You should consider how Krsna has already killed so many great demons. He defeated combined demigods when He forcibly took Pārijata tree from heaven for satisfaction of Satyabhāma. Are you so stupid that you can't see how you will also be vanquished if you try to capture Him?


Sri Krsna said: Duryodhana, due to gross ignorance you think that I'm alone & thus dare contemplate taking me captive. It is I who am the complete whole. All of the demigods, demons, sages, the Pāndavas & even you are My separated part & parcels


As Krsna spoke, innumerable celestial manifestations began streaming forth from His body with blazing splendor. Brahmā came from His forehead & Rudra appeared from His chest. Agni blazed from His mouth, as did limitless Vasus, Adityas, Sādhyas, Maruts, Asvins, Yaksas, Gandharvas & Raksasas. Balarāma appeared from Krsna’s left arm, bearing His plow weapon, & Arjun came from His right arm, holding Gāndiva bow. Other Pāndavās were situated behind Lord Krsna & Yadavās, headed by Pradyumna, were in front


All these myriad forms were splendorous, beautifully dressed & decorated with ornaments & garlands. Expanding Himself greatly, Sri Krsna exhibited numberless arms, each of which held a different weapon. From His eyes, ears, & other bodily parts came sparks & flames like brilliant sunrays. When assembled kings saw this most wonderous manifestation, they closed their eyes out of fear


Alas Duryodhana laughed engulfed in his foolishness

 

Krsna says in Gita:

ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate

iti matvā bhajante māṁ budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ


I'm the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts


Bewildered fools deride Him & don’t follow His instructions


Do we?

  Never Fall down!   Arjun released an Agni weapon that brightly lit up entire sky. Karna invoked a Varuna weapon that quenched the fire by creating clouds with a Vayavya weapon & then released a favourite weapon of Indra that made thousands of arrows issues forth from his G ā ndiva bow   While being pierced all over, Karna countered Aindra weapon with a Bh ārgava weapon & proceeded to kill many of the foremost Pāncāla warriors. Seeing this, Bhima’s anger blazed up like fire. He chastised his brother by saying: O Arjun, how can you allow these great warriors to be killed within your very sight? Please remember how Karna had insulted Draupadi? Give up your indifference & kill him without delay!   Sri Krsna said: Dear Arjun, you must exert your full prowess now, if need be, you can take help from my Sudarshan Cakra!   After momentarily considering the purpose of his appearance in this world, Arjun replied: Lord, with your permission as ...

  Make or break!   When Salya agreed to drive Karna’s chariot only on condition that he must be allowed to speak freely whatever he likes, Duryodhana and Karna readily agreed & thus a contract was made. Duryodhana flattered Salya by comparing him to Lord Brahmā, who formerly became Shiva’s charioteer at the time of destroying Tripura   Duryodhana concluded his long talk by saying: Dear Salya, Parasurāma delivered the entire science of weapons to Karna. Therefore, we must intelligently conclude that Karna cannot really be a sutā’s son. He must be the offspring of a demigod born in a Kshatriya family & then abandoned at infancy. Otherwise, why would Parasurāma agreed to instruct him in the complete use of weapons?   Salya replied: I have heard on numerous occasions the story of how Lord Brahmā became Lord Siva’s charioteer. You should not place so much faith in your plans, because even if Arjun is killed, Sri Krsna will exterminate the entire Kaurav...

Grudge-The heaviest thing to hold! Asvattāma hurriedly yoked horses to his chariot & set out, as Krpa & Krtvarma anxiously followed him. He soon arrived at Pāndava camp & saw a gigantic being with enormous head with flames emanating from his eyes, nose, ear & mouth   Asvattāma fearlessly attacked that awesome being with his celestial weapons but failed in all his attempt. He thought to himself: Krpa had warned me that persons who don’t listen to their elders must lament later. The frustration of my attempt must be due to its inherently sinful nature. I wonder who is this astonishing being that has defeated me. Obviously further exertion on my part will be useless until my destiny is favourable. Let me now take shelter of my worshipful Lord Siva & seek his guidance   Asvattāma got down from his chariot & fervently prayed to Lord Siva offering his body, mind & soul. Lord Siva personally appeared & smilingly said: Dear Asvattāma, there is...
