Yudhisthir vs Arjun

Yudhisthir was known as a royal sage. He was always for peace, forgiveness and harmony. One would even think if he was a Kshatriya by action and if he always shied from war. But when the actual time of war came he did not go emotional and sentimental about relations as one would have thought, instead it was Arjun who showed that weakness.

Hmmm...even me 2 kshatriya...😊 u r right..but i think arjun always fight for injustice...he is true kshatriya...but yudhistra always stop him...yudhistra like a ...santi pryi person.

Hmm i agree with the difference to some extend.

i dnt think arjun was any less of a warrior coz he developed cold feet..he was human after all, and many of his father-figures were on the opposite side.. yudi kept his principles ahead of everything and everyone, even his relations and family..tht is why he was fine..neither of their reactions had anything to do with kshatriya dharma, according to lil ol moi..

They were all kshatriyas , no one was more or less .

Both Yudhisthir and Arjun were Kshatriyas.

I truely agree with u all yudi was not ready to kill innocent people in the war in their personal dispute as well as I would say Arjun wanted to avange right there he got weak as not only kurus but his guru kul guru n his pitamaha were to their he never wanted hurt all of them beause of one man Duryodhan 😊

Yudhisthir always went by righteousness or dharma that is why he did not waiver at Kurukshetra and Shri Krishna did not need to teach him Geeta since he knew that that war he was going to fight was for Dharma. Whereas Arjuna was an emotional being and when the time of war came he went cold feet.

A kshatriya is not known by how excellent he is as warrior but how excellent he is in carrying out his kshaatra dharma and how he discerns the righteousness from unrighteousness while performing his duties.

Yudhisthir was calm, wise, peaceful, but expert on wars and in using shear as well. He had all the qualities, a great Samrat or chakrawarti should have. All the kings accepted him as their samrat not because they were scared but because he was dharm raj, he had the best knowledge of dharm. And he was the leader among his brothers becasue not only was he senior and the eldest but becasue he was most wise and inteligent. He never wanted innocent people to be killed due to their personal differences between Kauravs and themselves. Yudhishthar, right.from the beginning, was trained to be a king that is why he had all the qualities of being a king. Above all and main quality was to remain calm and cool under all the situation.

Arjun was hot headed and when it came to Duryodhan, he would always get angry, mostly it was due to the discrimination of Dhritrashtra and Duryodhan conspiracies done against them. Except for Yudhisthir, rest of the Pandawas wanted to take revenge from the Kauravs.

When it came to the battle, Yudhisthir because of his being king, senior, wise and all the principles of dharm, dutiful, he never once got cold feet against fighting relatives but Arjun got cold feet not due to cowardice but because of his love for his relatives not Duryodhan or Kauravs or rest of the kings but mainly due to his affections for his Pitamah Bheeshm, his Guru Dronacharya, and kul Guru Kripacharya.

Yudhishthar knew how to check his emotions in control but Arjun knew no such thing. He would get angry b
y any move by Duryodhan against them whereas Yudhishthar would calmly think and then say what is to be done.
