Krishna takes the reins

The Pandavas' Road, stage 8 of 10: Dwaraka → Kurukshetra

With war looming, Arjuna and Duryodhana both race to Dwaraka to win Krishna's help. Duryodhana takes Krishna's vast army; Arjuna asks only for Krishna himself, unarmed. After one last peace mission to Hastinapura fails, Krishna rides toward Kurukshetra - not as a warrior, but as the driver of Arjuna's chariot.
