Reading Notes:Krishna and His Army, Part C

With a battle inevitable both Arjuna and Duryodhana seek the help of Krishna to assure victory for their side. They both arrive on the same day and wait for Krishna to wake up to ask for help. Duryodhana asks for help first and claims that since he asked first the Krishna must help him. But Krishna set her eyes on Arjuna first and says that she will help both instead of just one. Krishna gave them the option between an army of 10 crores or to have Krishna on their side but she wouldn't battle. Arjuna got the first choice because he was younger and he chose to have Krishna fight on his side because he seems to be in love with her. Duryodhana is happy that he took Krishna who wouldn't be helpful over the large army.

It is later revealed that Arjuna chose Krishna so that he can ride in the car with her driving. Krishna must have one of those flying cars so he will be able to rain down arrows on his enemies.

(I can't tell if Krishna is a boy or girl, in this post I treating him/her as a girl)

  1. I like that you chose to treat Krishna as a girl in this story. It would also make sense because throughout the story Arjuna loves Krishna (although I take it as a brotherly love). I like that the car must be a flying car. You have a creative imagination and have thought of some great twists to the story! I hope to read a story about this.
