Since the time of immemorial always small mistakes and trifle matters have taken an ugly shape and pushed the world personalities in the battlefield and Krishna Arjun Yuddh was also due to a small mistake of Chitrasen, the Sangeet Vidya Guru of Arjun. 

It happened when Subhadra the wife of Arjun and Pandav was were very much upset of the sudden disappearance of Arjun and in search, the grief-stricken Subhadra had to go to Dwarka to seek the help of her brother Lord Krishna to trace Arjun.

 On other hand, Arjun was on Yatra when he met his Guru Chitrasen who took him to Indrasabha ' to attend his marriage. On the occasion of marriage, Narad gave blessing to Chitra. sen's wife that she would not be a widow in her lifetime and at the same time passed some adverse remarks about Arjun's wife which created doubts in the mind of Arjun about the loyalty of his wife, Subhadra towards him. Arjun, in the disguise of Sadhu, went to Dwarka to verify his doubts and Barbarik who belonged to Pandava played a big part with his magic power.

 After the marriage, Chitrasen along with his wife went to "Bharat Yatra" on their Viman. Chitrasen after chewing a Betel (Pan), he spit which accidentally fall on the palm of Rishi Galva who was offering prayers.
