LORD KRISHNA FACED VAISHNAVASTRA FOR ARJUNA

Lord Krishna saves Arjuna from Vaishnavastra and Arjuna Kills Narakasura's son Bhagadatta

From preceding blog posts, we all got here to know how Lord Krishna had once raised his chakra against Bhishma in order to kill him however he changed his mind after Arjuna became more determined towards his Kshatriya dharma for no longer being emotional towards the Kauravas but to combat with them courageously. Later brave Arjuna killed Bhishma. Lord Krishna would have ended the great Mahabharata war all by himself if he had taken part in it. Since he had already decided not to participate in the war, it would have been incorrect if he had modified his mind. Lord Krishna even once rescued Arjuna from the divine weapon Vaishnavastra that was used against Arjuna by Bhagadatta; the son of Narakasura on the twelfth day of the Mahabharata war. Arjuna was curious to understand why Lord Krishna had participated in the war despite his commitment. So right here in this put up I will elaborate on why the Lord had taken such a step to save Arjuna.

On the twelfth day, during the Mahabharata war, Courageous Bhima killed all the elephants with his mace. The king of Pragjyotisha, Bhagadatta seated on his elephant Supratika charged in opposition to Bhima however Bhima escaped. Bhagadatta later attacked Arjuna on the battleground of Kurukshetra. His elephant Supratika rained water in a structure of weapons over Arjuna. Bhagadatta also shot many arrows at a time at Arjuna there. Arjuna destroyed all those arrows by way of shooting back. Then Bhagadatta harmed both Arjuna and Lord Krishna by raining arrows at them and went nearer in order to kill them. Supratika killed many horses, elephants, and chariots by crushing them with its foot. Bhagadatta and Arjuna fought with each other fiercely. Arjuna damaged the shield of Supratika and injured the elephant with his arrows. Arjuna destroyed the Shakti weapon that was thrown in his direction of him via Bhagadatta at that time, then broke his dhwaja, chatra, and his Dhanush, and additionally wounded him with his many arrows.

Enraged Bhagadatta fired his Vaishnavastra toward Arjuna. It was about to hit Arjuna's chest however Lord Krishna countered the weapon by way of standing up on his charioteer position. It hit Lord Krishna's chest and turned into a Vaijanti garland and fell around his neck. Arjuna asked Lord Krishna how ought to he take part in the war because he had determined to stay Arjuna's charioteer only, how could he ruin his commitment by supporting him although Arjuna was not in that much crisis and injured at that time and how could he think of saving Arjuna since Lord knew that Arjuna by the use of his Gandiva Dhanush could triumph over the entire humans, deities, and demons?

Lord Krishna replied to him with the reason that "God himself takes four forms and protects the complete universe. God as 'Nara Narayana' practices 'Tapashcharya' or asceticism in Badrikashrama, as 'Parameshwarappa' or almighty god witnesses all the good and bad karmas, as 'Lord Krishna' performs many activities in Manusya Loka or human world and in the fourth shape he sleeps in the Ekarnav ocean for thousands of years. (At the time of world creation, Lord Vishnu sleeps on the Primordial Ekarnav ocean, from his naval Brahma appears who creates the whole world and Vishnu manages it.) In the fourth form, when the Lord wakes up from his Yoga Nidra, he grants boons to his most deserving devotees."

Krishna said that likewise, the earth had once requested a boon to him for her son demon Narakasura. In her boon, she had wished near God to bless Narakasura with his divine Vaishnavastra weapon and additionally, his son no longer to be slain by way of deities and demons. After listening to the plea of Earth, God granted her the boon and blessed Vaishnavastra to Narakasura to let him triumph over his enemies. After obtaining the weapon, Narakasura became livid and with his great power, he conquered both heaven and earth, stole the earrings of goddess Aditi, and usurped some of her territories, kidnapped sixteen thousand women. Lord Krishna had beheaded him with his Sudarshan chakra. After Narakasura's demise, his son Bhagadatta received the weapon Vaishnavastra.

Lord Krishna then asked Arjuna there to kill Bhagadatta for the well-being of himself as well as for all the deities considering the fact that the Lord had already taken back his Vaishnavastra from the demon. After listening to this from Lord Krishna, Arjuna attacked Bhagadatta with many arrows and hit the elephant with Naracha. Bhagadatta no longer could cope with Supratika and the elephant died there. Lord Krishna additionally told Arjuna that, Bhagadatta was getting old, his hair had already turned white and his eyes used to remain closed because of his wrinkles close to his eyelids Consequently He used to tie a cloth around his brow to let each eye stay opened.

Then Arjuna right away shot an arrow at Bhagadatta's forehead and ripped his clothes into pieces, as a result, making his eyes close. Bhagadatta could not see anything. Arjuna then shot a deadly arrow at his chest and killed Bhagadatta there.
