When Bheeshma was proving to be an invincible general of the evil Kauravas, Krishna used the part male and part female Shikhandi as a shield for Arjuna to hit Bheeshma knowing that the latter’s code of chivalry would force him to lower his weapons when confronted by Shikhandi. Using Ghatotkacha, Krishna wanted Karna to expend that weapon even if it meant fighting after the official close of action for the day with the setting of the sun. Karna-the son of the Sun God-had been given a celestial weapon or Divyastra which he could use only once and he wanted to use it as the final weapon to defeat Arjuna and the righteous Pandavas.

Lord Krishna plays a role in getting Karna to use his ‘Divyastra’ against Bhima’s son, Ghatotkacha, who on Krishna’s advice, wreaks havoc on the Kaurava forces after dark when his demonic powers come into full play. Lord Krishna used diverse strategies to ensure the defeat of the Kauravas (representing evil) and the final victory of the Pandavas (representing good) in the Dharamyudha of Mahabharata. These are only a few instances of when Duryodhana and the Kauravas broke well-established moral and ethical laws to harm the innocent and righteous Pandavas.

Lord Krishna Himself had to save her honour by increasing the dimensions of her sari for as long as Dushyasana kept pulling at it. The Kauravas broke one of the most sacred laws of treating women with dignity and respect when they attempted to disrobe Draupadi at the court in Hastinapur with all the elders (Dhritarashtra, Bheeshma, and Dronacharya) present. If we closely examine the game of dice played at Kurukshetra, Duryodhana and his evil uncle Shakuni creatively twisted the rules of the game when they played the game of ‘chauser’ while Shakuni executed the moves on Duryodhana’s behalf. God Himself, in His incarnation as Krishna, interprets the law in favor of Truth and drives the chariot of the warrior who had the courage to battle evil and falsehood in the Dharamyudha. Lord Krishna reiterates time and again in the Mahabharata that the war against the Kauravas was not for the limited objective of punishing those particular evil doers but to set an example for society for all time to come that truth triumphs over evil.
