KRISHNA'S VOW

This vow, it will be seen, was in perfect accord with the purpose of the Lord's avatars, as declared in scriptures:

"For protecting the righteous, for destroy- ing the wicked and for firmly upholding the law, I am born on earth age after age."

Dhrishtadyumna also consoled his sister and told her how nemesis would overtake the Kauravas.

He said: "I will kill Drona, Sikhandin will cause Bhishma's fall. Bhima will take the lives of the wickedDuryodhana and his brothers, Arjuna will slay Karna, the charioteer's son."

Sri Krishna said: "When this calamity befell you, was not in Dwaraka. Had I been there, I would never have allowed this fraudulent game of dice to take place. Uninvited,

I would have gone there and stirred up Drona,Kripa and the other elders to a sense of duty.
