वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in war, dharma sets limits: the deliberate destruction of the unborn is portrayed as an extreme adharma. Kṛṣṇa’s anger signals moral condemnation and the duty to protect the helpless, holding perpetrators accountable.
Vaiśampāyana recalls a moment when Aśvatthāmā attempted to annihilate the Pāṇḍava line by targeting their unborn children. In response, Kṛṣṇa, described as a crusher of foes, angrily addressed and rebuked Aśvatthāmā.
