KARNA VS ARJUNA - FINAL ENCOUNTER

● A DETAILED & COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS


THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS THREAD! WHAT KRISHNA -- THE LORD OF ALL WORLDS BELIEVED ABOUT KARNA. BEFORE THE BATTLE HE SAID TO ARJUNA THE FOLLOWING BEAUTIFUL WORDS
Sacred-Text:
[Krishna to Arjuna]

Hear in brief, O son of Pandu! I regard the mighty Karna as thy equal, or perhaps, thy superior! In energy he is equal to fire. As regards speed, he is equal to the impetuosity of the wind. In wrath, he resembles the Destroyer(Mahadeva) himself. Endued with might, he resembles a lion in the formation of his body. He is eight ratnis in stature. His arms are large. His chest is broad. He is invincible. He is sensitive. He is a hero. He is, again, the foremost of heroes. He is exceedingly handsome. Possessed of every accomplishment of a warrior, he is a dispeller of the fears of friends. No one, not even the Gods with Vasava at their head, can slay the son of Radha. No one possessed of flesh and blood, not even the Gods fighting with great care, not all the warriors (of the three worlds) fighting together can vanquish the son of the chariot-rider.

( I beg everyone to cross check this link, if you dont believe me.)

***** Here Krishna clearly said Karna is superior to Arjuna. He even said that not even the Gods fighting with extensive car can defeat him. I ALLOW ALL ARJUNA FANS TO CRY NOW!!! LOOOOOLLLLLL.

Karna Arjuna Battle Starts Now :-----

PART - 1

Beholding that shaft aimed by the Suta's son, O sire, the Pandavas, with cheerless hearts, gave themselves up to great sorrow. That shaft of keen point and endued with the effulgence of Sakra's thunder, sped from Karna's arms, fell upon Dhananjaya's ‪‎chest‬ and penetrated it like a mighty snake penetrating an ant-hill. That grinder of foes, viz., the high-souled Vibhatsu, thus deeply pierced in that encounter, began to ‪reel‬. His grasp became ‪‎loosened‬, at which his bow Gandiva dropped from his hand. He ‪‎trembled‬ like the prince of mountains in an ‪earthquake‬. Availing himself of that opportunity, the mighty car-warrior Vrisha, desirous of extricating his car-wheel that had been swallowed up by the earth, jumped down from his vehicle.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08091.htm

*****Here, see Arjuna's chest was teared by karna's keen arrow. He was "Trembling In Pain" . His gandiva slept from his hand & he "began to reel". Reel means to loose on'e balance ! Arjuna lost his senses, he was weaponless. Karna could have killed Arjuna right away. But he didn't break the rules of war and got down from his chariot to pull the sunken wheel up.

PART - 2

Dhananjaya who resembled the chief of the celestials himself (in energy and might) with three arrows, and he caused five other blazing arrows resembling five snakes to penetrate the body of Krishna. Shot with great force, those arrows, decked with gold, pierced through the ‪‎armour‬ of that foremost of beings and passing ‪out‬ of his ‎body‬ fell upon the earth. Endued with great energy, they entered the earth with great force and arjuna having bathed in ‪blood‬ coursed back towards Karna.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, see karna shot terrible arrow breaking armour of krishna which passing through body of arjuna & arjuna was "bathed in blood."

PART - 3

Bending then his own loud-sounding bow of irrefragable string, Karna shot showers of shafts. The Suta's son destroyed that burning weapon of Arjuna with his own foe-killing weapon of great power which he had obtained from Rama, and which resembled (in efficacy) an Atharvan rite. And he ‎pierced‬ Partha also with numerous keen shafts.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08089.htm

*****Here, see Karna easily nutralised the burning weapon of Arjuna & once more pierced arjuna by his keen shafts.

PART - 4

Then Karna, with a number of whetted shafts endued with great energy, cut off the string of Arjuna's bow. Similarly he cut off the second string, and then the third, and then the fourth, and then the fifth. The sixth also was cut off by Vrisha, and then the seventh, then the eighth, then the ninth, then the tenth, and then at last the eleventh

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08091.htm

*****Here, see Karna cut the string of Gandiva total 11 times. There is NO such record of Arjuna cutting the string of Vijaya bow possessed by Karna.

PART - 5

the Suta's son pierced Partha with a hundred small arrows, keen and steeped in oil, winged with the feathers of birds, and resembling ‎snakes‬ freed from their sloughs. He then quickly pierced Vasudeva with sixty shafts, and then Phalguna again with eight. Surya's son then pierced Bhima with ‪‎thousandsupon‬ ‪thousands‬ of mighty arrows. Having pierced Krishna and Partha's ‪‎standard‬, Karna ‪‎felled‬ many amongst the Somakas that followed Partha.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, see karna teared body part of arjuna apart & destroy "standard" of arjuna totally & slain somakas in front of poor and helpless arjuna.

PART - 6
Accomplished in the use of weapons, the Suta's son, stupefying those advancing warriors with his shafts and baffling all the weapons shot by them, ‪‎destroyed‬ their cars and steeds and elephants. And the Suta's son, O king, also afflicted with his arrows many foremost of warriors among them. Their bodies pierced with Karna's shafts, they fell down on the ground, deprived of life and making a loud noise as they fell. Indeed, those mighty combatants, afflicted by Karna of ‎terrible‬ ‪‎strength‬, perished like a pack of dogs afflicted by an angry lion. And once more many foremost of combatants among the Pancalas and many such (among the Kauravas) fell down after this, slain by Karna . Deprived of life by the mighty Karna with well-aimed arrows shot with great force, many fell down, purging the contents of their stomachs. Then thy troops, regarding the victory to be already theirs, clapped furiously and uttered loud leonine roars. Indeed, in that dreadful encounter, all of them regarded the two Krishnas to have been brought by Karna ‪‎under‬ his power.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, see frustrated pandava maharathis comes to rescue arjuna but killed by karna's terrible strength & fell down like broken mass. Karna destroyed panchalas in front of frustrated arjuna but arjuna was helpless and FAILED to save them from being slain.

PART - 7

Vaikartana (Karna) also, in the midst of that battle, shot thousands of arrows. These, with a loud whizz, fell upon the son of Pandu like ‪ ‎torrents‬ ‪ ‎of‬ ‪‎rain‬ poured from the clouds. Then piercing Bhimasena and Janardana and the diadem-decked Arjuna of superhuman feats, each with three arrows Karna of terrible might uttered a loud awful roar. Struck with Karna's shafts, the diadem-decked Arjuna, beholding Bhima and Janardana, became ‪unable‬ ‪‎to‬ ‪‎endure‬ (the feats of his antagonist).
Thus urged, Karna, with his best endeavours, incessantly shot many arrows. Capable of cutting the very vitals, those blood-drinking shafts, well sped by Karna, slew large numbers of the Pandavas and the Pancalas.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, karna's arrows passed through body part of arjuna like torrents of rain. Arjuna & bhima were unable to endure the skill of Karna. Within fraction of sec Karna showered rain of arrows & killed thousand of pandava maharathis & panchalas in front of helpless arjuna.
Another point to be noted here is that Karna is being , again, subjected to a group attack. But the Hero Karna, is like always, faing and defeating them single handedly.

PART - 8

Having said these words unto the holy Keshava, Savyasaci (Arjuna) of immeasurable soul bowed unto Brahman and invoked into existence that excellent irresistible weapon called brahmastra which could be applied by the mind alone. Baffling that weapon, however, Karna looked beautiful as he continued, like a cloud pouring torrents of rain, to shoot his shafts. Beholding that weapon of the diadem-decked Arjuna baffled in the midst of battle by Karna, the wrathful and mighty Bhima, blazing up with rage,

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, with terror of karna, arjuna started to used divyastras & launch bramhastra. In next moment Karna nutralised it by ordinary shafts. Bhima became angry bcoz of failure of frustrated arjuna. Another thing is that, while handling all this, Karna looked beautiful, which means he was not even a single bit stressed or tensed. He was relaxed !


PART - 9

all of them then regarded the two Krishnas as brought by Karna under ‪‎his‬ ‪power‬, seeing that valour, ‪‎incapable‬ of being borne by foes, of the mighty car-warrior Karna. Beholding that weapon of Dhananjaya frustrated by Karna in the midst of battle,

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, Karna again brought arjuna under his control & all weapons of arjuna failed against karna. Karna cut his all weapons by his keen arrow, and Arjuna like always was frustrated but Karna the hero, like always, relaxed !.

PART - 10
[Bhima to Karna]
"How, O Jishnu(Arjuna), could this karna fallen off from virtue, this Suta's son, putting forth his might in battle, slay so many foremost of Pancala warriors, in thy sight? Before now thou couldst not be conquered by the very gods or the Kalakeyas. Thou receivedst the touch of the arms of Sthanu himself. How, then, O diadem-decked Arjuna, could the Suta's son pierce thee ‪first‬ with ten long shafts such as are used by car-warriors? That the Suta's son should today have succeeded in baffling the arrows shot by thee seems to me to be very amazing.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08089.htm

*****Here, Bhima makes fun of arjuna for his failure. He asked arjuna, how this karna teared his cheast with "10 long shafts".?? How karna destroyed all weapons of arjuna & killed thousands of warriors in front of frustrated arjuna. Bhima sees the feats of karna very amazing.

PART - 11

Then Vasudeva, beholding Partha's shafts baffled by Karna, said unto the former, "What is this, O diadem-decked Arjuna, that Karna should succeed in crushing thy weapons today with this? Why dost, thou, O hero, lose thy wits? Markest thou not that the Kauravas, (standing behind Karna), are even now shouting in joy? Indeed, all of them know that thy weapons are being baffled by Karna with his.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08089.htm

*****Here, lord krishna also makes fun of frustrated arjuna for his failure. Even krishna is having doubt for skills of arjuna. Krishna asked" How you can lose against Karna, whom you always consider inferior to you..??

PART-12

This arrow, O Karna, will not succeed in striking off Arjuna's head. Searching carefully, fix another arrow that may succeed in striking off thy enemy's head." Endued with great activity, the Suta's son, with eyes burning in wrath, then said unto the ruler of the Madras, "O Shalya, Karna never aimeth an arrow twice.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

****Here, See when shalya suggests Karna to fire the same weapon twice in a row then Karna refused bcoz it was against the rules of War.Yes! it was.  Karna gave an ideal example of real fair warrior.

PART-13

Indeed, seeing that snake (in the form of an arrow) aimed by Karna, Madhava, that foremost of all persons endued with might, put forth his strength and thus pressed down with his feet that car into the earth.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, See when Karna launched Nagastra then Krishna saved Arjuna from Karna by pressing the chariot down with his feet. The arrow striked Arjuna's crown. If Krishna wouldn't have done that, the arrow would have striked Arjuna's neck, beheading him.

PART-14
[ Aswasen to Karna ]
Do not disregard me. Do my bidding. I will slay thy foe. Shoot me without delay." Hearing those words, Karna said, "Karna, O snake, never desires to have victory in battle today by relying on another's might. Even if I have to slay a hundred Arjunas, I will not, O snake, still shoot the same shaft twice."

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08090.htm

*****Here, See Karna was reluctant to fire Nagastra twice as it was against the rule of war. So fair warrior Karna again respected the rules of war.

PART - 15
[ When Karna was trying to unstuck his chariot wheel]
Drawn up with force by Karna, the earth, which had swallowed up his wheel, rose up to a height of four fingers' breadth, with her seven islands and her hills and waters and forests.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08091.htm

***** Here, KARNA LIFTED WHOLE EARTH upto 4 finger's breadth ( approximately 6 cms.) along with his chariot,Krishna,lord shiva, hanuman, all warriors, all humans, animals, mountains,rivers, forest, island all creatures even helpless arjuna also.lol..

PART - 16

Displaying also his own prowess, he seemed to get the better of Dhananjaya at that time. Then Krishna, beholding Arjuna afflicted with the weapons of Karna, said these words unto Partha.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08091.htm

***** Here, FINALLY LORD KRISHNA HIMSELF ACCEPTED SUPERITY OF KARNA OVER ARJUNA. Krishna said to Arjuna, Karna is giving better archey performamce than him.
Karna >>>> Arjuna

PART - 17

Meanwhile the diadem-decked and high-souled Arjuna, recovering his senses, took up a shaft, fatal as the rod of Death, and called anjalika.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08091.htm

******Attention, See here when karna was lifting wheel of chariot, arjuna was totally unconsious. So in last moment It was karna who was winning. Arjuna was nearly defeated by karna. But instead of  killing arjuna  Karna was engaged in lifting wheel. Meanwhile, Arjuna regained his sense, with fear of defeat he invoked Anjalika & killed weaponless Karna from behind breaking rules of war.

PART-18[Krishna's words after Pandavas won the battle]
Hearing (invisible beings cry out) that Bhishma and Drona and Karna and Bhurishrava were slain unrighteously, they became afflicted with grief and wept in sorrow. Beholding the Pandavas filled with anxiety and grief, Krishna addressed them in a voice deep as that of the clouds or the drum, saying, "All of them were great car-warriors and exceedingly quick in the use of weapons! If ye had put forth all your prowess, even then ye could never have slain them in battle by fighting fairly! King Duryodhana also could never be slain in a fair encounter! The same is the case with all those mighty car-warriors headed by Bhishma! From desire of doing good to you, I repeatedly applied my powers of illusion and caused them to be slain by diverse means in battle. If I had not adopted such deceitful ways in battle, victory would never have been yours, nor kingdom, nor wealth! Those four ( Bhisma, Karna, Drona, Bhurisarvas) were very high-souled warriors and regarded as Atirathas in the world

http://sacred-texts.com/hin/m09/m09061.htm

*****Here, See Lord Krishna said that through deceits you all 5 brothers have survived in war .He further said he used his divine illusionary powers against drona bhishma and karna so as to make sure they get slained otherwise it was impossible for all of you to defeat those atirathas in a fair battle .

》》FINAL ANALYSIS OF FINAL ENCOUNTER《《

1) IN FINAL ENCOUNTER, ARJUNA OVERPOWERED KARNA ONLY 2 TIMES & KARNA OVERPOWERED ARJUNA TOTAL 9 TIMES.

2) ARJUNA SUCCEED TO INJURE KARNA ONLY AFTER KARNA, OWING TO THE CURSES, FORGOT KNOWLEDGE OF DIVINE WEAPONS & HIS WHEEL OF CHARIOT SUNK INTO GROUND. KARNA'S CHARIOT WAS SUNK IN GROUND, SO THAT THERE WAS TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY FOR KARNA WHILE STANDING ON CHARIOT BCOZ IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN BALANCE.

3) KARNA OVERPOWERED OVER ARJUNA TOTAL 9 TIMES. BEFORE EFFECT OF CURSES HE CLEARLY GOT UPPER HAND TILL THE END OF BATTLE.

4) IN LAST MOMENT, WHEN KARNA WAS ENGAGED IN LIFTING WHEEL OF HIS CHARIOT, ARJUNA WAS 'UNCONSIOUS" . " TREMBLING IN PAIN" ," BEGAN TO REEL" MEANS HE WAS GOING TO SUFFER CLEAR DEFEAT BY KARNA THATS WHY WITH FEAR OF DEFEAT HE KILLED WEAPONLESS KARNA FROM BEHIND AGAINST RULE OF WAR..

KARNA WAS THE ONLY WARRIOR IN HISTROY WHO GOT "VICTORY OVER DEATH" THATS WHY KNOWN AS "MRUTYUNJAYA"....

  1. Sir ,while fighting with Arjuna ,Karna vehicle was struck but still he continues to fight that means he has no problem fighting with an damaged vehicle,then he made unconscious Arjun but why did he go down to uplift his vehicle he could have waited until Arjuna recovering his senses and what was shalya doing in that case. And when Arjun was awake he take his weapon so why do Karna still uplifting his vehicle


    Whatever​ may be your ans I still like Karna as a great man

    1. Amey- One possible answer to that is the panic caused to Karna when he forgot the knowledge of Astras. It's sort of a human nature. But Karna defeated Arjuna and was on backfoot in the final moments purely because of the curses of Parashurama as well as a cow-owning Brahmana and the coaxing of Arjuna by Krishna to kill an unarmed foe.

      If the divine powers and individuals are with him/her, then even a coward can win a war.

      Karna is truly the greatest because he showed exceptional prowess in any war despite having most of the situations and individuals against him.

    2. Bro your question his good when the chariot wheel is struck in the ground karn can't stand properly shoot Arjuna that's why karna asked time to lift chariot when karna was in ground he hit Arjuna and Krishna because of that gandiva slipped from Arjuna hand in the time karna can hit him but karna followed the rules but karna all Divya astras when gandiva fell in the ground karna went to lift chariot because he want to shoot properly in that time this become advantage to Arjuna so he shot karna with anjalika astra

  2. As Karna used to fight fairly...

    When his chariot sunken..., he asked some time from Arjuna to let him lift the chariot wheel up .., but Krishna reminded Arjuna some incidents that injustice done by Kauravas to Pandava... ( like wax palace, dragging Draupadi to court of Gambling, killing of Abhimanyu etc...though pandavs were also responsible for these incidents.... They tried to snatch tha rightful throne of Duryodhan.... So Duryodhan conspired to kill Pandavs, Draupadi was staked by Yudhisthir.. Duryodhan never staked Bhanumati... As shown in TV serials..., Abhimanyu was killed due to failure of pandavas... Who couknt enter in Chakravyuh... And Abhimanyu's half knowledge was the main reason of his death as he knew how to enter...but didn't know how to exit...?? )


    So Arjuna became angry denied that he will not give him time ...so karna continued to fight... At that time, Karna shot rudra weapon which hit on chest of Arjuna...
    Arjuna had worn the celestial Brahma armour given by Indra to Arjuna to save his life against fight with Karna...( Indra snatched armour of Karna and gave another celestial armour to Arjuna... It was pure injustice...!! )

    If Arjuna would not have worn that armour, then he would have died for sure...as that rudra weapon of karna made hole in that celestial armour....
    It was so powerful that Arjuna became unconscious and gandiva felled from his hand...first time...!!

    So Karna was fair fighter...and it was impossible to kill him in fair fight as accepted by Krishna....
    And it was next to impossible to defeat Vijayadhari Karna...when he holds Vijaya bow..not in all the worriers of three worlds together can defeat Karna..




    Karna didn't attacked on unconscious Arjuna.... He invested that time in lifting up the chariot wheel alone...as Shalya didn't help him...
    But karna couldn't lift the wheel due to curse of Brahmin...
    But Karna's strength was that mjc that he could lift entire earth alln with the sunken chariot wheel...

    Now when he was still lifting wheel...Arjuna killed karna but attacking him from back ....otherwise Karna would have killed him if he would have survived few more moments..

    According to rules...an opponent shall not be attacked without giving warning or challenge.... But Arjuna didn't warn him and simply attack to save his life...

    So to save Arjuna..., Krishna has done end number of planning and plottings...

  4. You are only showing the perspective of krishna in which he support karna legecy but as well krishna says these sentence to arjun" Towards the Pandavas he is always of wicked soul and sinful behaviour, and cruel, and of wicked intelligence. In his quarrel with the sons of Pandu, he is actuated by no consideration affecting his own interests. Slaying that Karna, therefore, fulfill thy purpose today. Despatch today unto Yama's presence that Suta's son, that foremost of car-warriors, whose death is near. Indeed, slaying that Suta's son, that first of car-warriors, show the love for Yudhishthira the just. I know thy prowess truly, O Partha, which is incapable of being resisted by the gods and Asuras. The Suta's son of wicked soul, from exceeding pride, always disregards the sons of Pandu. O Dhananjaya, slay that man today for whose sake the wretched Duryodhana regardeth himself a hero, that root of all (those) sinful persons, that son of a Suta. Slay, O Dhananjaya, that tiger among men, that active and proud Karna, who hath a sword for his tongue, a bow for his mouth, and arrows for his teeth. I know thee well as regards the energy and the might that are in thee. Slay the brave Karna in battle, like a lion slaying an elephant. Slay in battle today, O Partha, that Karna, otherwise called Vaikartana, in consequence of whose energy Dhritarashtra's son disregards thine.'" If krishna beleves that karna is superior to arjun why would he say such sentence to arjun if he knows arjun can not defeat karn

  5. "Sanjaya continued, 'Then Jishnu, turning his face in rage, cut off, with six keen shafts, that snake in the welkin as the latter was coursing in a slanting direction. His body thus cut off, he fell down on the earth. After that snake had been cut off by Arjuna, the lord Keshava himself, O king, of massive arms, that foremost of beings, raised up with his arms that car from the earth. At that time, Karna, glancing obliquely at Dhananjaya, pierced that foremost of persons, viz., Krishna, with ten shafts whetted on stone and equipped with peacock feathers. Then Dhananjaya, piercing Karna with a dozen well-shot and keen arrows equipped with heads like the boar's ear, sped a cloth-yard shaft endued with the energy of a snake of virulent poison and shot from his bow-string stretched to his ear. That foremost of shafts, well shot by Arjuna, penetrated through Karna's armour, and as if suspending his life breaths, drank his blood and entered the earth, 

    Arjuna also peirced karna

  8. Bro breaking the 11 strings of gandiva is not a big deal for a warrior like karna the person who is capable of destroying mighty rudra bow and divine chakra with normal arrows..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. he just spitting facts, because before that karna always failed to break the string of gandiva bow even though alreafy opressed arjuna thus arjuna gained the upper hand then cut karna bow, but when karna use vijay dhanush arjuna never ever break karna bow ever again but the otherwise.

      Delete
    2. Yes because karna always use a simple bow and arjuna fought with gandiva..so it always give an edge over opponent..

  9. You are only talking about final battle in which arjuna was under keen guidance of lord krishna.before that every battle that was fought between two,arjuna was Victor.Karna was and now interpreted as crybaby everyone do that he can get sympathy all.But morally he was not correct. Time and time again he showed.He even left Duryodhana defeated against very famous gandharwas war at the time of pandavas exile were arjuna defeated gandharwas and saved duryodhana.Lots of incidences are there even viral youdha.

    1. Gandharvas war was a match fixed by indra,better call arjuna cry baby they all make conspiracies to capture Duryodhana and Karna to help arjuna chitrasen himself confessed this,moreover karna already defeated those Gandharvas twice and in anger chitrasen used his illusion on karna, he was alone there and was vanquish them,in virat war too arjuna was protected by lord hanuman,vishkarma and agney dev in that battle too karna overpowered arjuna and pierced him badly but Arjuna was using gandiva that helped arjuna to have a edge over karna,even aswathama overpowered arjuna completely, but his arrows were exhausted and arjuna was supported by agney dev who was assisting him moreover in that battle to Lord Krishna used his illusion on karna so he didn't use his vasavi shakti, now tell me who is cry baby...
