Balarama, onhis way, visits the sage Gautama. Gautama requests him to take food. ButBalarama wants to honour cows before taking food. Krishna hides the cows. He appears as a cow in frontof Balarama. When Balarama touches the cow, it falls down as thoughit is dead. Thinkingthat he has killed a cow, Balarama proceeds for pilgrimage. When Kunti sees Karna, milk comes out of her breast.Recognising him to be her son, Kunti proceeds to feed him her breast milk.Since those who drank her milk do not have the fear of the God of Death, Krishna went as a bird and dried herbreast so that the Kings (Pandavas) may win. Chapter 34. Bhismaforetells Yudhisthira what will happen in the war and how his fall will comeabout. From Chapter 35.

Naraka gave them to his son who in turn gave them toBhagadatta who uses them against Arjuna in the war. Since no onewould be able to withstand them Krishna intervenes and uses his breast as ashield. After killing Samsaptakas, Krishna and Arjuna takebath in the lake Dvaipayana. While Arjuna is underwater, Krishna comes out of water and says loud: Arjuna, your son is dead! Thenhe enters water again. Hearing it throgh the waters, Arjuna is sad andconfused. Krishna tells him: To verify what Arjuna claims he has heard, let usgo back to the battlefield.

Afterverifying that Yudhisthira has spoken a lie, Drona decides to kill him and goesback to reenter his body. Seeing it in pieces, he decides to put themtogether.
