DHRITARASHTRA WAS BLESSED WITH EYES BY LORD KRISHNA

Lord Krishna appears in his Virat rupa

Bhishma, Dronacharya, Vidura, and Sanjaya in that court could see the rupa, and shockingly Dhritarashtra was additionally blessed to see the Virat rupa. Let me take you all to the incident first why did Duryodhana strive to imprison Lord Krishna. 

Lord Krishna went to Hastinapura for developing harmony amongst the Kauravas and Pandavas. He was respectfully welcomed by Kauravas. In the king's courtroom he instructed king Dhritarashtra that, "Great king of Kuru! You could have stopped Duryodhana and his brothers from committing a sin as they crossed their limit and worked contrary to their righteousness. King Dhritarashtra! You must rule your own sons to let all the Kauravas comply with the proper path to keep themselves away from the destruction of your own dynasty. Being the seniors of Pandavas also, you need to defend them too by providing back their own Kingdom Indraprastha unless you wish to see many courageous warriors from both aspects to die in such a huge war." Lord Parashurama, Sage Kambhya, and Narada tried to change the mindset of arrogant Duryodhana by means of giving them examples of Dambhodbhava getting punished through Nara, Lord Vishnu breaking the pride of Garuda and King Yayati falling down from heaven respectively that I had previously stated in my blog posts.

Dhritarashtra being helpless requested Lord Krishna to make his foolish son apprehend the consequences. Lord Krishna additionally tried to exhort Duryodhana by way of Giving him influential speech. Even Bhishma, Dronacharya, Vidura along with Dhritarashtra and Gandhari tried to persuade him in the non-secular path. 

Duryodhana responded to Lord Krishna that, "no one can defeat the great Kauravas like Bhishma, Dronacharya, Sukracharya, Ashwathama, and Suta Putra Karna. Being a Kshatriya it will be magnificent for me to die in the battle and gain heaven rather than surrendering to his enemies. Pandavas should not have been given Indraprastha even which in reality belonged to us only, it was occurred that time solely due to the fact i was immatured and dependent then!" Duryodhana then did not agree to provide the kingdom back to the Pandavas.

After listening to such Lord Krishna was indignant on the silly Duryodhana. He cautioned Dhritarashtra to seize Duryodhana alongside with Dushasana, Shakuni, and Karna and make harmony with Pandavas to stop the massive catastrophe that was going to happen in the war. Duryodhana consulted with mastermind Shakuni personally related to this who encouraged him to 'imprison Krishna barring any permission of Dhritarashtra, in order to let down all the Pandavas.'

Satyaki along with Kritavarma used to be present there. Somehow Satyaki got to be aware of the conspiracy, he warned Kritavarma and informed Lord Krishna and other seniors about it in the king's court. Lord Krishna steered Dhritarashtra to let these evil Kauravas capture him if they could. Dhritarashtra and other seniors alongside Vidura knew the potentialities of Lord Krishna. Dhritarashtra called Duryodhana, Dushasana along with Karna, their friends, and other ministers to the court. Dhritarashtra and Vidura warned him for his sin of wondering about captivating Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna then referred to fool Duryodhana that it was his stupidity of him to consider Lord Krishna being lonely there to seize him easily, whereas the fact was the whole Andhak dynasty, Brishni dynasty, Pandavas, Adityas, The sages, Rudras and Basus were remaining inside Krishna's body.

After that Lord appeared in his Viswaroop there in the court. Lord Shiva was observed in his heart. The deities appeared tiny inside his body, who sparkled furnace there. All the lokapalas stayed on his hands. Fire came out of his mouth, eyes, nostrils, and ears. Aditya, Sadhya, Basu, Aswinikumars, Indra, Marudrana, Viswadeba, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Nagas, and all the Demons seemed in his complete body. His brother Balarama was viewed on his Left Arm and Arjuna on his right arm. Bhima, Yudhishthira, Nakula, and Sahadeva regarded in the center part of his body. Pradyumna alongside with Brishni dynasty humans and Andhaka dynasty warriors appeared on the front facet of his body. Conch shell, Chakra, mace, Shakti, Dhanush, plough and Nandaka weapons remained in the thousands of hands of the lord Krishna.

Apart from Drona, Bhishma, Vidura, Sanjaya, and the pious Ascetics there, no one could tolerate the divine and tremendous shape of great god Krishna. They closed their eyes out of fear. Many deities showered flowers on him and prayed him. That time Dhritarashtra out of devotion wished to see the lord Krishna's Virat rupa. He civilly requested lord to bless him eyes solely for that moment to see his divine form. Lord granted him to see his divine form. Dhritarashtra used to be in a position to see the divine form of the lord at that time. He additionally offered his prayers. After that Lord Krishna got here back to his appearance and despite being surrounded by all those other evil Kauravas, he walked out of the kingdom along with Satyaki and Kritavarma smoothly. Even after seeing the Virata form of Lord Krishna, Dhritarashtra mentioned to Lord his incapabilities of guiding his son Duryodhana in the correct path.
