Just watched the "Krishna leela" promo. My questions from the promo -

1. The tagline of the promo is "Krishna leela se prabhaavit Draupadi ka kyaa hoga nirnay mahayudh par?" Krishna's (promo) dialogue is "Jab adharma badhta hai, tab apne aap ka balidaan dekar bhi adharmiyon ka naash karna anivaarya ban jaata hai..."

In other words, the purpose of this Krishna leela session is to basically knock some sense into Draupadi regarding her anti-war stance, and to teach HER what "dharma ki sthaapana" really means. And as per the promo, it is Dwarkadheesh Krishna who utters this dialogue in the Matsya court.

My personal inference - I guess Draupadi wasn't really bothered about the consequences of the war so long as she herself wasn't getting affected by it.

Slightly contentious question - Does ⭐️Krishna believe that ⭐️Draupadi is being "selfish" when she says "no war for wiping out adharmis because I don't want my kids to die in this war"?

Understanding something in abstract is different from seeing reality. Obviously none of us know if the real Panchali understood what she would be giving up. In BRC she gets the realization only after Abhimanyu's death. In SP she is shown as sacrificing more than blood thirsty.

Unless one of us is Ashwathama,none of us were around at the time to know what might have happened😆. So this vision of events is certainly a possibility. Ved Vyas was a journalistic writer in my opinion and certainly a man of his times and focused on the events from the point of view of men mostly. In other words, he didnt give much (not none) emphasis to what the women of the epic might have felt about it all. And no, just saying she was overcome with emotion or was enraged does not count as focusing on the emotional aspect of it.

My understanding is that throughout the Epic, Panchali is always considered human. The parts about being an avatar of Parvati or Lakshmi are from outside of MB. Humans are fallible. She is a stronger human being than most (including her husbands) even in the epic. She is also shown as much sharper than her husbands (remember the legal arguments she makes pre VH even in the Epic). That may be why she is shown as the only one who infers the outcome. I think what ⭐️Krishna is saying here is that when God gives you more, he also demands more.

Really got to get work now, before I get into trouble
