00:04Krishna would have clearly seen how dangerous was it to let power come to this fellow's hands.

00:12Power in the hands of Duryodhana would have meant rampant adharma, all-pervasive adharma.

00:19If the state policies themselves promote adharma,

00:23then the effect on the population would definitely be derogatory.

00:28Therefore, it was seen that in spite of the number of lives that are likely to be lost in the war,

00:36it was still important that the war be fought.

00:38There was nothing personal about the war.

00:41It's not that Krishna had a soft corner for Arjuna or favoured the Pandavas more.

00:46Therefore, he aligned with the Pandavas.

00:48It's just that power could not come to Duryodhana.

00:51It was certain and therefore the war had to be fought.
