And though that same design was thus formed, while the lord of the thirty gods, the immeasurable Hrishikesha, was watchful, it came to nothing in the hour of battle. Keshava always guards Arjuna, the son of Kunti; for he did not wish to set him in front of the son of the suta [Karna] in battle. And Achyuta kept setting forth other splendid warriors to him [Karna], thinking, "How may I make that unfailing dart vain," O lord. Then Krishna, the mighty-armed Satyaki, of true valor, asked, O tiger among warriors, about Karna, the great warrior: "This confidence in Karna with his dart, O boundlessly valorous one — for what reason was it not released by the son of the suta at Phalguna?"

All the schemes of the Kurus collapse "while Krishna is watchful": before the vigilant Lord human plots are in vain. It is telling that he does not merely shield Arjuna passively but actively puts others forward to exhaust the dart. The verse teaches that providence is not passive: it not only wards off disaster but actively steers events toward salvation; and while the higher will keeps watch, even the subtlest schemes of evil undo themselves at the decisive hour.
