コウラヴァとパンダヴァの両陣営のそれぞれの戦士たちがクルクシェートラの戦場で殺され、死んだ戦士たちは自分自身相応の運命を得た。そして、ドリタラーシュトラの息子は悲しみで倒れこみ、ビーマセーナの棍棒によって脊髄が破壊された。ドローナチャーリヤの息子(アシュワッターマ)はドロウパディーの眠っている5人の息子たちの首を切り、愚かにも自分の指揮官が喜ぶと思い指揮官のところへその首を賞品として持ち帰った。ドゥルヨーダナはしかし、極悪なその行為を承認せず、まったくうれしいとは思わなかった。
Transcendental topics of the activities of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam begin from the end of the battle at Kurukṣetra, where the Lord Himself spoke about Himself in the Bhagavad-gītā. Therefore, both the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam are transcendental topics of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The Gītā is kṛṣṇa-kathā, or topics of Kṛṣṇa, because it is spoken by the Lord, and the Bhāgavatam is also kṛṣṇa-kathā because it is spoken about the Lord. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted everyone to be informed of both kṛṣṇa-kathās by His order. Lord Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is Kṛṣṇa Himself in the garb of a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, and therefore the versions of both Lord Kṛṣṇa and Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu are identical. Lord Caitanya desired that all who are born in India seriously understand such kṛṣṇa-kathās and then after full realization preach the transcendental message to everyone in all parts of the world. That will bring about the desired peace and prosperity of the stricken world.
