Q. In the Srimad Bhagavatam 1.7.36, Krishna reminds Arjuna: "A person who knows the principles of religion does not kill an enemy who is careless, intoxicated, insane, asleep, afraid or devoid of his chariot", thereby highlighting Ashwatthama's heinous crime. But during the Mahabharata war Krishna Himself advises Arjuna to kill Karna who was devoid of his chariot and not resisting. I find this contradictory and difficult to understand. Could you please clarify this matter?
