How Krishna decided to give his army to Duryodhana and become Arjuna's charioteer?

Answer 1

Duryodana and arjuna were offered the choice of either choosing the army of krishna or krishna himself provided that he wouldnt be using his weapons. Duryodana tempted by krishna's vast army agrees on the former and arjuna the latter...

Answer 2

thats a very famous episode. Duryodhana was the first to come.Lord Krishna was sleeping then. he was egotistic so he came and stood before Lord face ie at the side of his pillow. Arjuna came moments later,being a devotee he stood facing the lotus feet of lord with his head bowed and hands folded. When lord Krishna opened his eyes he saw Arjuna first so he asked Arjuna for the purpose of his visit. Duryodhana thought that Arjuna might grab the opportunity and ask for Krishna's assistance in the war. so he said that he had come first and he wants to say his thing first .Lord Krishna agreed and said that since I cant deny my help to anyone of you you may choose between the two- me alone and without weapons or my entire army. Lord's army was very big and powerful. Duryodhana was ignorant so he felt very happy that he could voice his demand first.he asked for the army. Arjuna was happy asking for Lord Krishna alone. But the foolish and sinful Duryodhana didnt know that he had made a wrong choice.
so, Lord Krishna became Arjuna's charioteer when Arjuna pleaded that he wanted his friend and lord by his side throughout the battle.there was no trickery in Arjuna's heart.

Answer 3

Shri Krishna played an interesting role in the war. Both Duryodhana and Arjuna went to meet Shri Krishna for his assistance in the war. Both reached his palace early morning and waited for Shri Krishna to wake up. Proudly, Duryodhana sat near his head while Arjuna sat humbly at his feet. When Shri Krishna woke up he first saw Arjuna and asked what he wanted. Thus the discussion started. Shri Krishna said that he himself would support one side and lend his army to the other. He also said that he would not handle any arms during the war. Duryodhana opted for the army while Arjuna opted for Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna acted as Arjuna's charioteer during the war and saved him from death many times. He was intelligent and shrewd and it is this shrewdness which mainly made Pandavas win the war. Bhishma. Dronacharya fought on Kauravas side as their duty but their heart was with Arjuna and Yudhishtir. However they did not become lax in their duties. The tales of the war and how Shri Krishna's tricks saved Pandavas is interesting and legendary but that is a different topic. ...

Answer 4

The story goes something like this :
Krishna was to join one of the camp Arjuna or Duryodhana.So he decleared that one who approaches him first can ask anything.
Duryodhana approached first (Lord Krishana was sleeping then) and stood near pillow side while Arjuna stood near the feet side of the bed.So Lord Krishna saw Arjuna first but since Duryodhana was there first it was settled that Army of Lord Krishana would go to Duryodhana while Krishana would become Arjuna's charioteer
