Author's Note: This is a story of Krishna trying to make peace yet again between the Pandavas and Kauravas. It also shows Krishna in his true form and as a powerful being. I really liked this story and recreated it. I did not think of or make up this story! This story is about Krishna's visit to the Kaurava's. It was the Pandava's turn to rightfully get what they had lost back. They had even spent thirteen years in exile as told.
