MISCONCEPTION:- KARNA ALONE DESTROYED CHARIOT OF ARJUNA IN KURU WAR

Nowadays Karna fans are writting their own Mahabharat, they are performing the comedy that only Karna was responsible for the burning of celestial chariot of Arjuna

In reality 60% credit goes to Drona for burning of Arjuna’s chariot…..only 10 credit goes to Karna and 30% credit goes to other weapons of other warriors.

FIRST OF ALL nowhere is it written that Arjuna's chariot was blasted……Actually his chariot got reduced to ashes AND REDUCE DOES NOT MEAN BLAST

Stuff:- The top of the vehicle, which had before been burnt by Drona and Karna with their celestial weapons, quickly blazed forth to ashes, O king, without any visible fire having been in sight. Indeed, the car of Dhananjaya, with its quick pairs of steeds, yoke, and shaft, fell down, reduced to ashes.

Shalya Parva: Section 62

2ND THING that Arjuna never failed to counter any brahmastra of Drona and Karna……it was Karna who failed to counter Arjuna's brahmastra 2 times and destiny saved Karna's life from brahmastra of Arjuna.

ARJUNA's CHARIOT BURNT DUE TO THE EFFECT OF MANY WEAPONS CONFESSED BY LORD KRISHNA HIMSELF

BORI CRITICAL EDITION

SHALYA PARVA- SECTION 61

BIBEK DEBROY TRASLATION:-

“O bull among the Bharata lineage! Keshava was always engaged in bringing pleasure to the wielder of Gandiva and spoke to him. ‘Take down Gandiva and the two great and inexhaustible quivers. O supreme among the Bharata lineage! I will get down after you have dismounted. O unblemished one! Descend. It is for your own good.’ Dhananjaya, Pandu’s brave son, did as he had been asked. Thereafter, the intelligent Krishna discarded the reins of the horses and got down from the chariot that belonged to the wielder of Gandiva. The extremely great-souled one, the lord of all beings, descended. The celestial ape, stationed on the standard of the wielder of Gandiva, disappeared. Earlier, it had been burnt by the divine weapons of the maharathas, Drona and Karna. O lord of the earth! It blazed amidst a fire and was swiftly burnt. The chariot of the wielder of Gandiva was burnt, with its yokes, its harnesses, its horses and its lovely joints. O lord! On seeing that it had been reduced to ashes, Pandu’s sons were astounded. O king! Arjuna joined his hands in salutation and bowing down affectionately, asked, ‘O Govinda! O illustrious one! Why has the chariot been burnt down by the fire? O descendant of the Yadu lineage! What is this extremely wonderful thing that has occurred? O mighty-armed one! If you think that I deserve to hear it, tell me.’ Vasudeva replied, ‘O Arjuna! This has earlier been burnt by many different kinds of weapons. O scorcher of enemies! It is because I was seated that it was not destroyed in the battle. It has now been destroyed, consumed by the energy of brahmastra. O Kounteya! Now that you have accomplished your objective, I have abandoned it.’ The illustrious Keshava, the destroyer of enemies, smiled a little, in pride.

Point to be noted(From the above narrative)

1) According to Sanjaya, Arjuna's chariot burned due to the combined power/effect of Brahmastra of Karna and Drona so basically Karna needed the help of Drona. It proves that Karna alone was not capable to destroy Arjuna's chariot

 13 स दग्धॊ दरॊणकर्णाभ्यां दिव्यैर अस्त्रैर महारथः
  अथ दीप्तॊ ऽगनिना हय आशु परजज्वाल महीपते

The Mahabharata in Sanskrit

Earlier, it had been burnt by the divine weapons of the maharathas, Drona and Karna. O lord of the earth! It blazed amidst a fire and was swiftly burnt.

2) According to Lord Krishna, Arjuna's chariot burned due to the effect of many weapons and Brahmastra.

अस्त्रैर बहुविधैर दग्धः पूर्वम एवायम अर्जुन
मद अधिष्ठितत्वात समरे न विशीर्णः परंतप
19 इदानीं तु विशीर्णॊ ऽयं दग्धॊ बरह्मास्त्र तेजसा
मया विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तवय्य अद्य कृतकर्मणि

Vasudeva replied, ‘O Arjuna! This has earlier been burnt by many different kinds of weapons. O scorcher of enemies! It is because I was seated that it was not destroyed in the battle. It has now been destroyed, consumed by the energy of brahmastra.

NOW COMING TO THE MAIN POINT THAT WHY DOES 60% CREDIT GO TO DRONA AND ONLY 10% CREDIT TO KARNA

1) Drona used Brahmastra against Arjuna and initially he was afflicted/scorched by Drona's brahmastra , it means, at that times Drona's brahmastra was afflicting to Arjuna's chariot too ,

BORI CRITICAL EDITION

Drona parva-section 163

Bibek Debroy Translation

The immensely intelligent Drona invoked brahmastra. It scorched Partha and all the invisible beings. The earth, with all its mountains and trees, began to tremble. Turbulent winds began to blow and the oceans were agitated. When the great-souled one invoked that weapon, there was terror among the Kuru and Pandava soldiers and all the beings and a great uproar arose. O Indra among kings! However, Partha was not frightened. He countered that weapon with his own brahmastra and everything became peaceful again.

NOTICE THIS LINE

The immensely intelligent Drona invoked brahmastra. It scorched Partha and all the invisible beings.

So it is clear as water that initially Drona's brahmastra scorched Arjuna's chariot and later Arjuna countered Drona's brahmastra with his own brahmastra but we can safely conclude that Arjuna's chariot had consumed some energy of Drona's Brahmastra.

NOW SEE WHAT HAPPPENED WITH KARNA'S BRAHMASTRA

Karna used Brahmastra against Arjuna and he countered Karna's brahmastra with inferior weapon Aindrastra and Karna became joker after this incident in final battle

BORI MAHABHARAT

KARNA PARVA-SECTION 66

Debroy Translation:-

Using his strength, he invoked brahmastra. On seeing this, Arjuna invoked mantras and released aindrastra. Dhananjaya also invoked mantras on the bowstring of Gandiva and the arrows. He released showers of arrows, like Purandara pouring down rain. Those energetic arrows issued from the immensely valorous Partha’s chariot and were about to destroy Karna’s chariot. However, when they arrived in front of him, maharatha Karna repulsed all of them.

Point to be noted (from the above narrative)

1. Karna used Brahmastra , on seeing this Arjuna released Aindra astra to counter Karna's weapon……….No mention what happened after this, neither it is written anywhere in above narrative that Karna's brahmastra touched Arjuna or his chariot
2. After this Arjuna again shoot many arrows(with mantras) towards Karna

Dhananjaya also invoked mantras on the bowstring of Gandiva and the arrows. He released showers of arrows, like Purandara pouring down rain

3. And Karna countered all arrows of Arjuna

when they arrived in front of him, maharatha Karna repulsed all of them.

THEN YOU CAN SEE IN ABOVE NARRATIVE THAT KARNA'S BRAHMASTRA BECAME MONKEY INFRONT OF ARJUNA, ACTUALLY KARNA USED BRAHMASTRA 2 TIMES AGAINST ARJUNA BUT EVEN AFTER BEING USED TWICE, BRAHMASTRA OF KARNA FAILED TO GIVE ARJUN A SCRATCH thats why i gave only 10% credit to Karna for burning of Arjuna's chariot

RESULT:- Drona's brahmastra had scorched Arjuna's chariot then 60% credit goes to Drona for chariot burning and Brahmastra of Karna failed to give Arjuna a scratch so only 10% credit goes to Karna

Note:- I am giving 10% credit to Karna for chariot burning because Sanjaya had mentioned his name in narrative otherwise he does not deserve any credit for this incident……he got 10% credit because of mercy of Sanjaya.

AND 30% CREDIT GOES TO OTHER WEAPONS OF OTHER WARRIORS

Example: - 1) Agney astra of Ashwthama, Narayan astra and Aindrastra of Ashwthama…….2) some effect of Bhagadatta’s Vaishnav astra

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

Arjuna possessed supreme brahmastra of Lord Brahma which was capable to neutralise any other weapon…..No one warrior possessed this brahmastra in Mahabharat era except Arjuna. He did not use this Brahmastra on Karna in final battle otherwise Karna would have reduced into ashes

BORI CRITICAL EDITION

DRONA PARVA- SECTION 172

Debroy Translation:-

“O great king! At this, Arjuna invoked brahmastra. The one who was born from a lotus78

has decreed that this is capable of repulsing all weapons. That darkness was dispelled in an

instant. Auspicious winds began to blow and the directions became clear.

NOTICE THIS LINE

The one who was born from a lotus78

has decreed that this is capable of repulsing all weapons.

KMG TRANSLATION:-

Stuff:- Then Arjuna, O king, invoked into existence the Brahma weapon, capable of baffling every other weapon, as ordained by the Lotus-born (Brahma) himself. Within a moment that darkness was dispelled, cool winds began to blow, and all the points of the compass became clear and bright

Drona Parva: Drona-vadha Parva: Section CCI

Result:- Arjuna spared the life of Karna because he did not use his supreme Brahmastra (not Brahmshira) on Karna. He had used his low level Brahmastra on Karna

ALSO ARJUNA'S CHARIOT WAS NOT BLASTED, HE GOT BURNT INTO ASHES THEN ARJUNA COULD HAVE JUMPED FROM HIS CHARIOT TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

MISCONCEPTION:- ARJUNA RAN AWAY FROM POOR BHARGAVA ASTRA. LOL

Karna fans always cry on the basis of this poor Bhargav astra that Arjuna fled from this astra on 17th day but in reality No one ran away from this astra……..Actually Karna himself ran away from battlefied after using this astra.

Karna did not use Bhargav astra on Arjun,he used it on Cedis and Panchala Army.Arjun was fighting with Ashwathama that time.

Now this is the line said by Arjun regarding bhargava weapon on which Karna fans get emotional-

"I will never be able to fly away from Karna in battle!"

WHAT ILLITERATE KARNA FANS INTERPRET THE MEANING OF THIS LINE -

"Arjuna accepted that he is going to ran away from Karna, but he don't think Karna will allow him to flee from Bhargavastra" LOLZ

WHAT THE REAL MEANING OF THIS LINE IS -

"Arjun said that it won't be proper to flee from karna in midst of this battle"

Hindi Quote From Geeta Press(Especially for Illiterate Karna fans)-

समरभूमिमें कर्णके सामनेसे पलायन करना मैं उचित नहीं समझता ॥

MOST IMPORTANT THING that Sanjaya never said that Arjuna fled…. he said that Arjuna avoided Karna on the order of Lord Krishna AND Avoiding does not mean defeat/fled

Sanjaya to Dhristrastra

Stuff:- Then Keshava proceeded, desirous of beholding Yudhishthira, thinking that Karna meanwhile, O monarch, would be overwhelmed with fatigue! Then Dhananjaya, himself desirous of beholding the king afflicted with arrows, quickly proceeded on that car, avoiding the battle, at Keshava's command.

Karna Parva: Section 64

AFTER THIS STATEMENT , ARJUNA HIMSELF SAID THAT I WILL NOT LEAVE THE BATTLEFIELD, SEE HERE

Arjuna to Bhima

Stuff:- Arjuna said, "For this reason go thou quickly from the spot for bringing intelligence of the king, that best of all the descendants of Kuru! Without doubt, deeply pierced by Karna with shafts, the king hath gone to the camp! In that fierce passage at arms, though deeply pierced by Drona with keen shafts, the king endued with great activity, had still stayed in battle, expectant of victory, until Drona was slain! That foremost one among the Pandavas, possessed of great magnanimity, was greatly imperilled by Karna in today's battle! For ascertaining his condition, quickly go hence, O Bhima! I will stay here, checking all our foes!" Thus addressed, Bhima said, "O thou of great glory, go thyself for ascertaining the condition of the king, that bull amongst the Bharatas! If, O Arjuna, I go there, many foremost of heroes will then say that I am frightened in battle!" Then Arjuna said unto Bhimasena, "The samsaptakas are before my division! Without slaying those assembled foes first, it is impossible for me to stir from this place!' Then Bhimasena said unto Arjuna, 'Relying upon my own might, O foremost one among the Kurus, I will fight with all the samsaptakas in battle! Therefore, O Dhananjaya, do thou go thyself!'"

Karna Parva: Section 65

KARNA FANS WEEP THAT ORIGINAL MAHABHARAT IS PRO-ARJUNA AND ANTI- KARNA SO WE CAN CAN NOT BELIEVE IN ABOVE NARRATIVE, LOL stop crying here like a kid…….If original Mahabharat exposes the evil character of Karna then what can we do?

SO ARJUN NEVER FLED,HE WENT TO SEE A BADLY INJURED YUDHISTHIR,AND THAT TOO ON LORD KRISHNA'S ADVICE.HE WAS NOT WILLING TO LEAVE THE BATTLEFIELD,IT WAS LORD KRISHNA WHO CONVINCED HIM.

MISCONCEPTION:- BHARGAV ASTRA WAS A POWERFUL WEAPON.

Bhargava weapon was a weak weapon, this astra failed to kill 2000 soldiers of pandava army….even Agney astra of Arjuna was more powerful than this bhargava weapon

Because Arjuna killed 5 akshouni Gandharva army in single shot by using agney asra

Narr:- Then Arjuna whose ire had been provoked, aiming at the angry Gandharvas, prepared to hurl against them his celestial weapons. And in that encounter, the mighty Arjuna, by means of his Agneya weapon, sent ten hundreds of thousands of Gandharvas to the abode of Yama.

Vana Parva: Ghosha-yatra Parva: Section CCXLIII

TEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GANDHARVAS = 10×100×1000= 1000000=5 AKSHOUNI SENA

So it is clear like water that poor Bhargava astra was nothing infront of ordinary agney weapon of Arjuna.

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, WHO CAN BREAK THE RECORD OF KARNA IN RUNNING, THEIR IDIOL RUN AWAY EVEN FROM ORDINARY DEMONS.

Narr::-Beholding that fierce and awful battle, the kings, thy sons, and Karna, also exceedingly pained, fled away. Only the proud son of Drona, ever boastful of his might in arms, stood fearlessly.

Drona Parva: Ghatotkacha-badha Parva: Section CLV

ARJUNA:- DISCIPLE OF LORD MAHADEVA.

It is the most hidden truth of Mahabharat which is unknown for many peoples that Arjuna was student of Lord Mahadeva himself…….During exile he learnt archery vidya from Lord Shiva and became greatest archer in whole 3 worlds.

MAHABHARAT DESCRIBED ARJUNA AGAIN AND AGAIN AS THE STUDENT OF LORD SHIVA , HERE IS SOME NARRATIVE FROM ORIGINAL MAHABHARAT

1) ARJUNA TOLD UTTAR THAT ONE OF THE MY PRECEPTOR IS LORD MAHADEVA HIMSELF.

Stuff:- Trained in arms by the preceptor Drona, by Sakra, and Vaisravana, and Yama, and Varuna, and Agni, and Kripa, and Krishna of Madhu's race, and by the wielder of the Pinaka (Siva), why shall I not fight with these? Drive thou my car speedily, and let thy heart's fever be dispelled.'

Virata Parva: Go-harana Parva: Section XLV

2) ARJUNA SAID TO HIS BROTHERS THAT I LEARNT THE WEAPONS FROM LORD SHIVA HIMSELF.

Stuff:- I have learnt weapons from Sakra, Vayu, and the manifest Siva; and all the celestials with Indra also have been pleased with me, on account of my good behaviour, and concentration.'

Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva: Section CLXIV

ABOVE NARRATIVE PROVES MANY POINTS ABOUT ARJUNA

1. He learnt weapons from all the celestials means All the celestials were the preceptor of Arjuna
2. Arjuna was favorite student of all celestials (all celestials include Lord Shiva also)

3) ARJUNA SAYS TO RUKMI THAT LORD RUDRA IS MY PRECEPTOR

stuff:- Having paid my respects, for battle's sake, to Rudra, Sakra, Vaisravana, Yama, Varuna, Pavaka, Kripa, Drona, and Madhava, and wielding that tough celestial bow of great energy called Gandiva, and accoutred with inexhaustible arrows and armed with celestial weapons, how can a person like me, O tiger among men, say, even unto Indra armed with the thunderbolt, such words as I am afraid!

Udyoga Parva: Bhagwat Yana Parva: Section CLIX

4) ARJUNA CUT THE BHURISHARVA'S HAND BY PERFORMING SUPERHUMAN FEATS IN ARCHERY THEN AT THAT TIME BHURISHARVA TOLD ARJUNA THAT WHERE YOU LEARNT THIS TYPE OF ARCHERY VIDYA, DID MAHADEVA TEACH YOU

stuff:- Wert thou taught this use of weapons by the high-souled Indra or by Rudra, O Partha, or by Drona, or by Kripa? Thou art, in this world, better acquainted with the rules about the use of weapons than all others.

Drona Parva: Jayadratha-Vadha Parva: Section CXLII

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ACCORDING TO ORIGINAL MAHABHARAT, ARJUNA WAS TRAINED BY LORD MAHADEVA HIMSELF.

FAIR(Armed) DEATH OF KARNA BY HANDS OF ARJUNA

Peoples have a great misconception that Karna was killed unarmed but in reality he was killed armed by hands of Arjuna according to original Mahabharat.

Actually Public always watch the fake serial and believe that Arjuna killed Karna by unfairly And they Show the sympathy towards Karna

Well,as per the most researched sanskrit texts,Karna was not killed in weaponless state.He was fighting Arjun,even discharged Brahmastra and Varunastra,he got killed because he failed to counter Anjalika Weapon of Arjun.

Karna Parva,Chapter 67

From Sloka 6 -

एवमुक्ते तु राधेये वासुदेवेन पाण्डवम् |

मन्युरभ्याविशत्तीव्रः स्मृत्वा तत्तद्धनञ्जयम् ||६||

तस्य क्रोधेन सर्वेभ्यः स्रोतोभ्यस्तेजसोऽर्चिषः |

प्रादुरासन्महाराज तदद्भुतमिवाभवत् ||७||

Translation:

“When Vasudeva addressed Radheya in this way, Pandava Dhananjaya remembered all this and was overcome by great rage. Energetic flames of anger seemed to issue out from all the pores on his body and it was extraordinary.”

तं समीक्ष्य ततः कर्णो ब्रह्मास्त्रेण धनञ्जयम् |

अभ्यवर्षत्पुनर्यत्नमकरोद्रथसर्जने ||८||

तदस्त्रमस्त्रेणावार्य प्रजहारास्य पाण्डवः ||८||

“On seeing this, Karna again invoked brahmastra against Dhananjaya. He showered down arrows and tried to extricate his chariot. Pandava countered those weapons with his own weapons.”

ततोऽन्यदस्त्रं कौन्तेयो दयितं जातवेदसः |

वारुणेन ततः कर्णः शमयामास पावकम् |

जीमूतैश्च दिशः सर्वाश्चक्रे तिमिरदुर्दिनाः ||१०||

“Kounteya then released another weapon, beloved of the fire god, towards Karna. It blazed fiercely. Karna pacified the fire through a varuna weapon. He covered all the directions with clouds and it was as dark as a rainy day."

पाण्डवेयस्त्वसम्भ्रान्तो वायव्यास्त्रेण वीर्यवान् |

“Pandaveya was not frightened.While Radheya looked on, the valiant one used the vayavya weapon and dispelled all the clouds. His standard had the marks of an elephant’s housing. It was decorated with gold, pearls, jewels and diamonds. It had been crafted by excellent artisans over a long period of time. It was expensive and beautiful in form.It always inspired your soldiers and terrified and frightened the enemy. It was renowned in the world and blazed like the sun and the moon. ”

ततः क्षुरेणाधिरथेः किरीटी; सुवर्णपुङ्खेन शितेन यत्तः |

तदा कुरूणां हृदयानि चापत; न्बभूव हाहेति च निस्वनो महान् ||१५||

“Kiriti used a razor-sharp arrow that was gold-tufted and pointed. With that, he brought down the handsome and blazing standard of the great-souled maharatha, Adhiratha’s son. O venerable one! When that standard was uprooted, fame, dharma, victory and everything that was dear to the hearts of the Kurus also fell down. Great sounds of lamentation arose.”

अथ त्वरन्कर्णवधाय पाण्डवो; महेन्द्रवज्रानलदण्डसंनिभम् |

“To ensure Karna’s death, Pandava took out an anjalika arrow. It was like the great Indra’s vajra, or like a rod that was made out of fire. It blazed in its rays, like the one with one thousand rays.It was capable of penetrating the inner organs and smearing itself with blood and flesh. It was extremely expensive and was like the fire and the sun. It could destroy men, horses and elephants and was three cubits long, with six tufts.801 It travelled straight and possessed a great force. In its energy, it was like the vajra of the one with one thousand eyes. It was as difficult to withstand as predatory beasts. It was like the pinaka and Narayana’s chakra. It was fearful and destructive of living beings”

कृत्यामथर्वाङ्गिरसीमिवोग्रां; दीप्तामसह्यां युधि मृत्युनापि ||२१||

“He invoked mantras and affixed that supreme and great weapon to Gandiva. He loudly said, ‘I am grasping this great weapon, which is in the form of an arrow. It is extremely difficult to withstand and is capable of destroying the body . If I have tormented myself through austerities and have satisfied my seniors, if I have listened to what my well-wishers have told me, through that truth, let this arrow slay my armoured enemy, Karna, and bring me victory.’ Having said this, for the sake of Karna’s death, Dhananjaya released that terrible arrow. It was as fierce as rites performed by Atharvan and Angiras. It blazed and was impossible to be endured in a battle, even by Death itself.”

ब्रुवन्किरीटी तमतिप्रहृष्टो; अयं शरो मे विजयावहोऽस्तु |

“Kiriti cheerfully said, ‘Let this arrow bring me victory.’ Wishing to slay Karna, bring about his end and convey him to Yama, he released the arrow, which was as radiant as the sun and the moon. Cheerfully, so that he could be conveyed towards victory, the one with the diadem and the garland shot the arrow. It was as radiant as the sun and the moon. He harboured feelings of enmity and wished to slay his enemy. That weapon, blazing like the sun, was shot. Like the sun, it lit up the earth with its radiance. The head of the commander of the army was severed. Like the sun, with a red disc, it seemed to set.”

#### END OF KARNA ####

Karna Parva Link - http://sanskritdocuments.org/…/m...

So as we all can read,Karna was killed pretty fairly,the only thing unfair was Karna fighting on ground,but he did have his Vijaya bow in hand,he also used Brahmastra and Varunastra but he failed to counter the deadly Anjalika Arrow which dispatched him to Yama's abode.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT KARNA WAS INDEED KILLED UNFAIRLY BUT NOT UNARMED . Unfairly does not mean unarmed

OPINION OF LORD INDRA ABOUT ARJUNA AND KARNA

Nowadays, some Karna fans are creating the misconception that According to Lord Indra, Karna was a better archer than Arjuna. Lol

In reality, As per the Lord Indra…Arjuna was a far better archer than Karna

1ST TIMES, WHEN LORD INDRA SAID THAT KARNA IS NOT EQUAL TO EVEN 1/16TH PART OF ARJUNA

Stuff:- Listen to me, O Yudhishthira, for I shall now deliver to thee the message of that foremost of celestials. He hath commanded me saying, "Thou wilt, no doubt, go to the world of men. O best of Brahmanas, tell thou Yudhishthira these words of mine. Soon will thy brother Arjuna come to thee, having acquired arms and accomplished a great deed for the celestials that is incapable of being accomplished by themselves. Do thou meanwhile devote thyself to ascetic austerities, with thy brothers. There is nothing superior to asceticism, and it is by asceticism that a person achieveth great results. And, O bull of the Bharata race, well do I know that Karna is endued with great ardour and energy and strength and prowess that is incapable of being baffled. Well do I know that, skilled in fierce conflict, he hath not his rival in battle; that he is a mighty bowman, a hero deft in the use of fierce weapons and cased in the best of mail. Well do I know that that exalted son of Aditya resembleth the son of Maheswara himself. Well do I also know the high natural prowess of the broad-shouldered Arjuna. In battle Karna is not equal unto even a sixteenth part of Pritha's son.

Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva: Section XCI

2ND TIMES, WHEN LORD INDRA SAID THAT BHISMA, DRONA , SHAKUNI AND KARNA TOGETHER ARE NOT EQUAL TO 1/16TH PART OF ARJUNA

LORD INDRA TO ARJUNA

Stuff:- 'All the celestial weapons, O Bharata, are with thee, so no man on earth will by any means be able to over-power thee. And, O son, when thou art in the field, Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Karna and Sakuni together with other Kshatriyas shall not amount unto one-sixteenth part of thee

Vana Parva: Tirtha-yatra Parva: Section CLXXIII

THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT ACCORDING TO LORD INDRA, KARNA WAS NOTHING INFRONT OF ARJUNA

DISROBING OF KARNA BY HANDS OF ARJUNA IN FINAL BATTLE

It is one of the most amazing scene of Mahabharat, where Arjuna disrobed Karna infront of everyone in final battle

Arjuna broke Karna's special armour into 1000 piece by using some ordinary arrows and Karna became naked infront of everyone

Stuff:- Then Arjuna sped ninety arrows, each resembling the rod of Death at Karna. Deeply pierced with those shafts, Karna trembled like a mountain riven with thunder. The head-gear of Karna, adorned with costly gems and precious diamonds and pure gold, as also his earrings, cut off by Dhananjaya with his winged arrows, fell down on the earth. The costly and bright armour also of the Suta's son that had been forged with great care by many foremost of artists working for a long time, the son of Pandu cut off within a moment in many fragments. After thus divesting him of his armour, Partha then, in rage, pierced Karna with four whetted shafts of great energy. Struck forcibly by his foe, Karna suffered great pain like a diseased person afflicted by bile, phlegm, wind, and fever.

Karna Parva: Section 90

EVERYONE BEHELD THE NAKED BODY OF KARNA AFTER FINAL BATTLE

Stuff:- The foremost of Kuru heroes also, having beheld that wonderful battle between Dhananjaya and Adhiratha's son, which had inspired all living creatures with dread, proceeded (to their nightly quarters), filled with wonder and applauding (the encounter). Though his armour had been cut off with arrows, and though he had been slain in course of that dreadful fight, still that beauty of features which the son of Radha possessed did not abandon him when dead.

Karna Parva: Section 94

MISCONCEPTION:- ACCORDING TO BORI MAHABHARAT, ARJUNA BREAKING KARNA'S ARMOUR IS INTERPOLATION. LOL

Nowadays Karna fans became frustrated after seeing the pathetic disrobing of Karna by hands of Arjuna , so they are propagating the lie that According to Bori, Arjuna never disrobed Karna in battle but dont worry , i will expose all lie of Karna fans

CRITICAL EDITION OF MAHABHARAT, KARNA PARVA- SECTION 66

||8 Mahabharata -Karnaparva ||

Debroy translation:- Arjuna shot ninety arrows at Karna and each of them was like Yama’s staff. Those arrows severely mangled his body, like a mountain shattered by thunder. The crown on his head was decorated with gems and

diamonds and he wore excellent earrings. These were severed by Dhananjaya’s arrows and fell down.

His radiant and excellent armour was carefully crafted by the best of craftsmen over a long period of

time. It was extremely expensive. In an instant, Pandava shattered this into many fragments with his

arrows. Having deprived him of his armour with those excellent arrows,he then angrily struck him

with four arrows. Distressed and struck by his enemy, he was like a diseased person, suffering from

bile, phlegm, wind and wounds.

ACCORDING TO BORI MAHABHARAT TOO, EVERYONE BEHELD THE NAKED BODY OF KARNA AFTER FINAL BATTLE

Debroy translation- Karna parva-section 68

Stuff:- The foremost of brave ones among the Kurus had witnessed

the terrible encounter between Dhananjaya and Adhiratha’s son, destructive of lives. They were

amazed. Now that it was over, they praised it and departed. The brave one’s armour had been shattered

by arrows. He had been slain in the battle. Radheya had lost his life. But his beauty

did not desert him.

MISCONCEPTION:- GANDHARI DESCRIBED DEADBODY OF KARNA WITH HIS ARMOUR, SO ARJUNA DID NOT BREAK ANY ARMOUR OF KARNA . LOL

EXPOSING :- so what If Gandhari mentioned deadbody of Karna with his armour ? By the way …statement of Gandhari is latter event AND value of latter event is nothing infront of actual event

I also gave the reference from latter event that everyone beheld the naked body of Karna after final battle so dont weep here on the basis of latter event.

3rd thing that snake Ashwsena had already destroyed Arjuna's diadem but when Arjuna was launching the final Anjalika astra on Karna, at that time he was described as diadem decked then according to logics of Karna fans, Ashwsena breaking Arjuna's diadem is interpolation. lol

BORI MAHABHARAT- KARNA PARVA-SECTION 67

Debroy translation:-

Stuff:- Kiriti cheerfully said, ‘Let this arrow bring me victory.’ Wishing to slay Karna, bring about his end and convey him to Yama, he released the arrow, which was as radiant as the sun and the moon. Cheerfully, so that he could be conveyed towards victory, the one with the diadem and the garland shot the arrow. It was as radiant as the sun and the moon. He harboured feelings of enmity and wished to slay his enemy.

FROM KMG MAHABHARAT:-

Stuff:- And the diadem-decked Partha, desirous of slaying Karna, with great cheerfulness, said, "Let this shaft conduce to my victory. Shot by me, let this arrow possessed of the splendour of fire or the sun take Karna to the presence of Yama." Saying these words, Arjuna, decked with diadem and garlands, cherishing feelings of hostility towards Karna and desirous of slaying him, cheerfully struck his foe with that foremost of shafts which was possessed of the splendour of the sun or the moon and capable of bestowing victory.

Karna Parva: Section 91

SO IT IS CLEAR LIKE WATER THAT ARJUNA AVENGED DRAUPADI'S VASTRAHARAN BY DISROBING KARNA.

Om Namo shivaay
