Mahabharat: What is Balram's request to Krishna?
The vicious uncle of the Kauravas, Shakuni, got frustrated when he came to know that Krishna has tricked the Kauravas once again by misleading Duryodhan while he getting ready to receive powers from his mother Gandhari. Duryodhan hid his thigh area and left rest of his body nude, as a result of which, his covered body part stayed weaker than the rest.
As a final attempt to save Duryodhn from losing the battle, Shakuni sent Ashwathama to call on Krishna’s elder brother Balram on the field. Shakuni believes that Balram has the authority to prevent Krishna from doing more harm to the losing party – the Kauravas.
Balram arrives on Shakuni’s request and engages in a word with Krishna. He says that Shakuni does not know that in reality Krishna, being Lord Narayan himself, is his master. While Balram, who is an avatar of Sheshnag, has taken birth on earth as Krishna’s elder brother. This means that Balran can’t order Krishna to do anything but can only make a plea.
Therefore, Balram requests Krishna not to reveal anything about Duryodhan’s weak body part to the Pandavas and let them win on their own accord. Krishna agrees with a smile.
But the point is, if Pandavas won’t come to know about Duryodhan’s truth, how will they defeat him? Looks like only Krishan has the answer to this question.
