Vyasa Restrains the Kauravas and Counsels Dhritarashtra
The Kauravas ride out in a body to kill the Pandavas in the forest. But Krishna Dvaipayana sees their departure with his divine sight. He comes to them, restrains them, and then swiftly goes to Dhritarashtra to speak with him. The expedition is halted before it can begin.
The chariots rolled out of Hastinapura — Duryodhana, Karna, Duhshasana, Shakuni, and their warriors, all of them angry, all of them resolved. They had made up their minds. The Pandavas were in the forest, distressed, grieving, without allies. This was the moment to strike.
But the pure-souled and illustrious lord Krishna Dvaipayana saw them with his divine sight. He knew their departure before they had covered even a fraction of the distance. He is the one who is worshipped by all the worlds.
He came to them and restrained them.
He did not argue. He did not debate. He simply stopped them — a single sage standing before an armed expedition, and the expedition halted.
Then he swiftly went to the place where the one whose wisdom was his sight was seated — Dhritarashtra, the blind king — and spoke to him. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 305
