Krishna was Paramaathma and Sarvajna . Though He was very close to Dhraupadhi, at the time when she suffered humiliation in the court of Dhuryodhana, who ordered that she be disrobed, Krishna made an endless supply of saris to protect her honour.
Some persons ask why Krishna did not punish Dhuryodhana on the spot when he was perpetrating such a heinous crime against a noble woman who was so devoted to Him. No doubt, Dhraupadhi was highly devoted to Krishna and Krishna had also the power to punish Dhuryodhana. But in this drama several more scenes had to be enacted. Dhuryodhana was predestined to be killed by Bhima in the war that was yet to come. So Krishna could not interfere. Kamsa's life was in the hands of Krishna and Raavana's life was in the hands of Raama. Both Raama and Krishna are forms of Vishnu. But each had to play His specific role in His incarnation. For every incarnation there are certain rules and regulations which the Avathaar will not transgress. Mere mortals cannot understand the ways of the Divine. - taken from Swami's Discourse on 19th September 1993 in Brindavan... Sai Ram __._,_.___
