i mean in the epic no character not even krishna ji ever says that they are fighting for the greator good of the society or that all kings of aryavrata are evil hence they all need to die for better society

like you said its an interpolation like many other facts are actually just interpolations and not actually part of the epic

i guess this interpolation comes from the promise vishnu ji made to bhoomidev to end the kshatraiya clan

But other than this none of the character's ever say that they are fighting for betterment of society

Mahabharat war eventually happened because of the same reason that every war happens that is land and kingdom.Even pandavas never say they are fighting for better soceity

uddeshya jo bhi rahaa ho, yuddh kaa parinaam toh woh hi thaa, duryodhan jaise adharmiyon kaa vinaash, jin ke kukarma saadhaaran prajaa ko pravaabhit kar sakti thi, waise, aaj bhi un jaise neta hain is desh main jo unki tarah hi kukrityon ko sampaadit karne ke liye prerit karte hain, agar samajh me nahi aataa toh har us netaa ke shabd ko yaad karo jo balaatkaar ke doshi ladkiyon ko thehraate hain.

what can i say? i am gonna miss seing starmaadhav, parantu real maadhav toh mere saath hi rahenge.

and when i think of geeta, i see the image of star geeta gyaan given to stararjun.

but does the epic say that the life purpose of krishna was this war... why was this war between two cousins for land so imp to lord vishnu that he had to take an avtaar as krishna. coz these wars would have happened everywhere even then. wht was so special about this war? Or was it just that the war happened & krishna only decided to support the more righteous side..

I don't think it's an interpolation Sabhyata. It's the interpretation of what dharma is

Krishna does say in the original MB that whenever there is a lot of adharma, he comes down to earth, so he can establish dharma (yada yada hi dharmasya...)

No in the original MB krishna ji never says that,if you can share any citation i will be happy to read it but as far as i have read KMG krishna ji never says anything like this even this shloka isnt part of the epic

In the entire Udyoga parva krishna ji repeatedly only asks yudhishtir to fight for his kingdom and not to show mercy to kauravas who had wronged him and his wife.That is the only thing he says

Regarding different books and their interpretations hmm to each their own i am talking about translations of the epic neither CE nor KMG make any such claims

and i belive geeta was also the goal of maadhav's avataar.

wait, is geeta missing from kmg mahabharat?? if not, post me the link, i will find out.
