Timeline of Krishna Avatar - Krishna Lila at Dharma Yudham at Kurukshetra
 
  • Kurukshetra - The war between Dharma and ADharma began on Tuesday on Bharani Star.
  • Lord Krishna against Bhisma - Krishna found that Pandavas were struggling against Bhisma's fight. Bhisma started against Arjuna with hundreds of arrows. Krishna got enraged and jumped out of the chariot, took a broken wheel and started pouncing against Bhisma inorder to save Arjuna. Bhisma seeing the Lord approaching, bowed his head towards him. Everyone could see the Lord in anger with his blueish body and yellow garments waving against the gentle breeze. Arjuna immediately rushed towards Krishna and told about the vow that Krishna made. The vow of Krishna is that he would not take any weapons during the war. Bhisma knew this, he felt bad in making anger towards the Lord. He apologized to Krishna and left Arjuna's place.
  • Bhisma's fall - Krishna knew that only one person can make Bhisma fall. He is none other than Shikandi. He was Amba in previous birth who took a vow in killing Bhisma. As Bhisma is a person whom the death will occur only if he wishes. Bhisma has got another vow that he will not fight against woman. Shikandi was the sterile son of King Draupada. So, Krishna made Shikandi, in front of Arjuna and asked Arjuna to strike arrows against Bhisma. When Bhisma saw Shikandi in Arjuna's chariot, he knew the past birth of Shikandi who is Amba and put down his arrows. Arjuna's arrows

    Pierced his body and he lay down in the bed of arrows on the battle field. The fall of Bhisma was on tenth day.

  • Slaying of Jayadratha - After the cruelsome death of his son Abhimanyu, Arjuna took a vow that he would kill Jayadratha within next day's sunset or he would commit suicide. Jayadratha was saved by other Kauravas so that Arjuna will commit suicide which will benefit the Kauravas. Everybody, bodyguarded Jayadratha and Arjuna failed to kill Jayadratha. When it was about to set, Arjuna accepting his defeat tried to set fire himself. Everybody was looking at Arjuna and Pandavas were worried,but Kauravas including Jayadratha was very happyily standing for the funeral. Nobody knew that it was Krishna's play. Krishna had set the sun set before the original hours through his Sudarshana Chakra. When Arjuna was about to get into the fire, Krishna shouted that it is all his play and he took back his Sudarshana Chakra which had covered the sun's rays. Sun again raised and it was not set at that time as the day is not completed. Jayadratha started to flee from warfield, but Arjuna immediately took the Gandiva and stroke against Jayadratha. His head was cut and was thrown to his father's lap who was doing tapas. Both the father and son got bursted in the ball of fire.

  • Drona's death - Drona was powefully fighting against Pandava army. Krishna thought of a plan. Lord Krishna knew that Drona is very much affectionate towards Ashwattama, his son. Meanwhile, Bhima killed Ashwattama an elephant in the battlefield. He was shouting that he had killed Ashwattama. Hearing this, Drona was grief sticken and confirmed the news from Yudhistra who is the person who always speaks truth. Krishna asked Yudhistra to play a trick. He told to tell Yudhistra in such a way that the truth will remain. Yudhistra told that Ashwattama, the elephant got killed. But he told the word elephant in a low tone as Drona could not hear. Drona thought that his beloved son is dead. He put his weapons down and started to meditate. Seeing this, Dristhtadyuma, son of King Draupada, cut of his head with his sword. This Drona was killed on 12th Day. 

  • Krishna saved Arjuna from Nagastra - Arjuna was about to kill Karna. He was seaching him in the battlefield. Meanwhile, Karna's son Vrishasena came on the way. Arjuna killed him. Seeing this, Karna started to fight against Arjuna. He took Nagastra to kill Arjuna. Seeing this, Krishna pressed the earth one and a half inch down which lead the chariot to sink on the ground. The Nagastra stuck the crown of Arjuna and he was saved by Krishna. He thanked Krishna for saving his life.

  • Karna's deeds - Arjuna started attacking Karna. Karna's charioteer King Salya left the chariot and went back from the warfield fighting with Karna. His Chariot's wheel got stuck on the sand. Karna got down and tried to pull it out. Krishna asked Arjuna to set arrow against Karna. But Arjuna denied that it is wrong to stuck arrow on a person who is not armed. Even Karna pleaded Arjuna not to shower arrows as he was not armed and he was engaged in taking the wheel out. But Krishna denied that this is the best chance where he could kill Karna. Krishna also pointed out Karna's play during the game of dice, Draupadi's grief, Abhimanyu's death which made Karna feel shame. As a result of curse of ParasuRama, Karna could not remember the Brahmastra which he kept for killing Arjuna. Even though Arjuna was firing arrows at Karna, he did not fell dead. Krishna knew this as Karna was a real giver and the Dharmam and Dhaanam which he had made throughout his life is saving now. Krishna thought of a plan.

  • Krishna in disgise as a Brahmin - Krishna went in disguise of a Brahmin and asked him boon. Karna told that except for his life nothing is present with him in the battlefield. Krishna asked for the good deeds (Dharmam and Dhaanam) which he had done throughout his life. Karna knew it was Lord Krishna and gave him his good deeds to Lord Krishna.

  • Karna's end - Lord Krishna now asked Arjuna to fire arrow against Karna. Arjuna did as Krishna told and Karna fell down dead. Lord Krishna praised Karna for his great deed. He also told everyone that Karna is the first brother of Pandavas. As Karna was dying he prayed to Lord Krishna that he should be taken to Vaikunta to serve the Lord. Lord Krishna accepted the wish of Maharathi Karna. Thus he was killed on fourteenth day.
