Here Yudhishthira once again tests the decision for war through dharma: his question is not about advantage, but about how to act without falling from his duty. Krishna's answer and Arjuna's reminder show that peace was exhausted not through any weakness of effort, but through Duryodhana's conscious rejection of dharma; thus the battle becomes not a desire for violence, but the inevitable fulfillment of responsibility.
