EXPOSING THE FAKE OVERVIEW OF MILITARY CAREER OF KARNA AND ARJUNA GIVEN BY DEAR ARJUNA HATERS

Crooked admins of Karna fan pages have posted a totally wrong overview of military career of Karna and Arjuna in order to degrade Arjuna by fooling the public but in this post I will debunk all the nonsense they had posted on their page. If you are a true Arjuna/Lord Krishna fan then read this post from beginning to end and then spread this post to every corner of internet and show those hypocrites fanatics of Karna the power of truth and dharma.(SEE THE COMEDY POST OF KARNA FANS HAHAHAHAHA :- https://www.facebook.com/karnavsarjun.official/posts/1478627125558825:0)
So here goes the exposing :-
1. Karna had shot terrible Nagastra and arjuna failed to counter it. Lord krishna saved his head when it was almost cut off by terrible nagastra of karna
REFUTATION :-
Nowhere it is written that Lord Krishna saved Arjuna from Ashwasena and there was no Nagastra possessed by Karna.Arjuna had used Nagastra against Susharma and that time clearly the word "Naga weapon" was used for Arjuna's Nagastra.Nowhere Naga weapon is used for Karna's weapon and also Karna took the help of a living serpent so credit goes to Ashwasena not Karna.Quality of weapon depends on the skills of wielder but Ashwasena was a living serpent
2. Karna had shot brahmastra and again arjuna failed to counter it. After kurushetra war, chariot of arjuna blasted into ash. Thanks to krishna who again saved arjuna from getting blast along with his chariot.
REFUTATION :-
It was Karna who failed to counter Arjuna's Brahmastra and as a result many warriors of Kauravas army lost their lives.Arjuna's chariot blasted due to the combined power of Brahmastra of Karna and Drona so basically Karna needed the help of Drona.Nowhere it is written that Arjuna could have died if Lord Krishna had not seated on his chariot as Arjuna could have jumped from his chariot got burnt and saved his life.Karna also failed to counter Arjuna's Brahmastra
3. Karna had shot bhargavastra and as usual defeated arjuna unable to counter it took heroic flight (vimna partho) like coward and fled away from karna towards the tent of his brother yudhistira
Refutation :-
Arjuna never fled away from Bhargavastra and Karna never defeated Arjuna.It was Bhima who forced Arjuna to approach Yudhishthira and see his medical condition and convinced him that he will fight his enemies in his absence. Arjuna was not like Karna who always took heroine flight (Vimna Partho) whenever he got overpowered by his enemies.
4. As usual krishna saved arjuna from vasavi dart of karna otherwise arjuna would have been blasted into the ash along with chariot, steeds and standard
REFUTATION :-
All the power of Vasavi Dart of Karna was the boon of Indra deva.Indra had promised Karna that Vasavi dart will be inflammable on whoever Karna will use it and all the boons needs to be fulfilled hence the credit goes to Indra not Karna.
5. Karna had broken down 11 celestical strings of gandiva. Poor arjuna was unable to touch the string of Vijaya. Even arjuna tried his best to break the ordinary bow-string of ashwatthama but due to lack of skill failed to creat force required to break that string.
REFUTATION :-
Karna breaking 11 strings of Gandiva is an interpolation according to BORI.According to BORI Karna cut only 1 string of Gandiva. Arjuna never failed to cut the strings of any bow because he was capable to defeat his enemies without cutting the bow of their strings.
6. Karna used to string his bow before his rivals shot arrows to pierce him such was the speed of karna but arjuna didn't have such speed to string his bow. He was too slow. Arjuna was destroyed by karna, ashwatthama and drona during stringing process.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was the most fast human before in terms of bow stringing which is evident from the fact that during his final encounter with Karna on 17th day he fastly strung his bow and nobody could mark it. And BORI has clearly removed the word "quickly" where Karna has strung his bow so according to BORI Karna never string his bow fastly. So, Arjuna,Bhima and Ashvatthama strung their bows more fastly than Karna.
7. Karna never missed any target in his military career but arjuna missed simple target many times. Once arjuna failed to hit deer although he repeatedly shot arrows to hit that deer. He was exhausted. Arjuna is still searching for that deer.
REFUTATION :-
Even Arjuna never failed to hit any target in his military career but a cow was mistakenly killed by Karna due to the poor skills of Karna. Nowhere it is written that Arjuna was also firing arrows on deer.
8. Karna had defeated nishad king eklavya in his digvijay conquest and same eklavya surpassed arjuna in archery and arjuna was jealous of him
REFUTATION :-
Karna never defeated Eklavya in his life.Eklavya never surpassed Arjuna in archery, Arjuna was just a bit jealous of him because he was a child at that time. Karna was also jealous of Arjuna during their training days.
9. Karna had out-performed the feats of arjuna in rangbhoomi contest so tagged by yudhistira (brother of arjuna) as the greatest archer
REFUTATION :-
Karna equalled the feats of Arjuna in Rangbhoomi contest and Yudhishthira use to take his rivals so much seriously. Nowhere it is written that Karna out-performed the feats of Arjuna in Rangbhoomi contest.
10. Karna had defeated bhagadatta in his digvijay conquest and same bhagadatta almost killed arjuna twice and both time krishna saved his soul from getting liberation by bhagadatta
REFUTATION :-
Karna never defeated Bhagadatta.He just conquered some Kiratas and there were many Kiratas and the main point is Bhagadatta was the ruler of Kiratas and nowhere it is written that Karna defeated the ruler of Kiratas in his conquest. Bhagadatta had a boon of invincibility from Lord Vishnu in the form of Vaishnavastra still he failed to defeat Arjuna in Arjuna's Rajsuya conquest.
11. Karna had destroyed more than 1.5 akshahoni within 2 days when he became commander of kuru army. This was the greatest destruction by any archer. It is said that karna even surpassed the feats of bhishma and drona. Arjuna had slain zero akshahoni as per original mahabharat because it was revealed that lord shiva and krishna were fighting invisibly standing in front of arjuna's chariot and in process killed kuru soldiers
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna had destroyed total seven Akshouhinis in a single day.It was Arjuna who killed his enemies as per original Mahabharata not Lord Krishna or Lord Shiva.
12. Karna was the only warrior capable to rebound celestical mace of bhima shooting arrows but arjuna couldn't rebound mace of srutayudha. let alone rebounding, arjuna even failed to destroy that mace and krishna took it on his shoulder and saved life of arjuna
REFUTATION :-
Srutayudha had a boon from Lord Varuna that his mace will be inflammable and on whoever he will throw this mace will be killed and Srutayudha didn't threw this mace on Arjuna so Arjuna's life wasn't in danger at all.
13. Karna had destroyed many celestical equipments in his life be it celestical wheel of ghatotkach, celestical bow-strings/nandighosh chariot/celestical crown/celestical robes/
celestical standard of arjuna or celestical rudra bow of abhimanyu. On other hand, arjuna never destroyed any celestical equipments of his rivals. Yes, he was able to break ordinary bows but not celesticals
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was capable to overpower those Gandharvas who had raped Karna in front of Kauravas. What is the use of such skills if he can't save his best friend from getting kidnapped in front of his eyes ?
14. Karna was the only warrior who had created extra-ordinary wounds all over the bodies of krishna and arjuna and blood was flowing from their wounds. Both were bathed in blood and every part of their bodies pierced by karna .Their condition was too critical even they couldn't extract karna's terrible arrows from wounded bodies and went back to tent for special therapy in order to extract such blood sucking arrows. Arjuna also created wounds over the bodies of karna and shalya but ordinary wounds. Karna was laughing during entire encounter whereas arjuna was humiliated by krishna and bhima for his regular failure
REFUTATION :-
Nowhere it is written that Arjuna and Lord Krishna needed special therapy in order to heal the wounds created by Karna. Karna did created some wounds on the body but nobody considered it as an extraordinary feet and also nowhere it is written that Lord Krishna's body was made up of iron or has superhuman toughness.
15. Karna had destroyed thousands of illusions created by demon ghatotkach on 14th night. Arjuna was not skilled enough to counter illusion of demons. once he failed to counter the illusion of demob nikumbha and that demon seized his neck and hung him in the sky. Later krishna killed that demon and saved arjuna. Pradyumna caught arjuna later was falling from the sky
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was never failed to counter the illusions of demon Nikumbha. And this story is not the part of original Mahabharata. Arjuna destroyed all the illusions of Nivatkavachas and Kalakayes and he also countered the illusions of Gandharva Chitrasena but Karna failed to counter the illusions of Chitrasena. It seems blondries has completely lost their faith in Mahabharata that's why they are now targeting Puranas ðŸ˜œ
16. Karna had destroyed panchala warriors who were protected by lord shiva. Ultimate success for any archer who destroyed warriors having protection of supreme god.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna never fought with Panchala warriors so no one can say that Arjuna couldn't have defeated Panchalas if he could have fought them.Nowhere it is written that Lord Shiva always protected Panchalas.
17. Karna had shot 5 arrows using such massive power that armour of lord krishna was broken down and all arrows penetrated through his body. Thanks to unslayable god krishna. If you replace krishna with any human driver then his driver would have been died on spot and horses of arjuna would have been run away along with arjuna. Arjuna also struck shalya but his arrows were unable to penetrate the armour of shalya
REFUTATION :-
Even an ordinary hunter managed to hurt Lord Krishna in that way such that Lord Krishna lost his life so no big deal.Arjuna didn't penetrated the armour of Shalya because he didn't needed to do so
18. Arjuna had many extra and unfair advantages over karna even before their final battle.
a. Karna had donated his celestical armour to Indra. Indra gifted another celestical brahma armour to arjuna. so karna was fighting using ordinary armour but arjuna had celestical armour for his protection.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna never had any unfair advantage over Karna it was Karna who got everything as a free gift unlike Arjuna who earned everything through his hardwork.Karna donated his celestial armour to Indra which he got as a free gift from Lord Surya and Arjuna payed the fees of celestial armour and each and every celestial weapon by killing Nivatkavachas and Kalakayes.Still Arjuna never used the celestial armour given to him by Indra.
b. Indra had gifted extra celestical bow-strings to arjuna, celestical standard and celestical robes to arjuna. On other hand, karna had nothing.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna had earned those celestial bow-strings and celestial robes and nowhere it is written that he used that standard and robes in battle. And Arjuna didn't got any specific advantage from celestial strings as those strings were only undecaying but still cutt by Ashvatthama,Drona and Karna.
c. Karna's lost his physical power as he did donate armour cutting his own body parts. He fought the war with wounded body as indra fled away without healing karna. On other hand, arjuna was fresh.
REFUTATION :-
All the best physicians of Hastinapur operated on Karna and healed each and every wound on his body so Karna didn't lost his physical strength.
d. Arjuna had 2 inexhaustible quivers and unlimited supply of special high quality arrows. Karna didn't have inexhaustible quivers to shot such arrows.
e. karna had 2 curses which were boons for arjuna. On other hand, arjuna had a boon of shiva and durga which were curses for karna.
REFUTATION :-
Karna never suffered any shortage of arrows. Karna didn't had inexhaustible quivers like Arjuna but still his arrows never got exhausted in any battle. Only Ashvatthama's arrows got exhausted in Virata war. Arjuna never had any boon from Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga
f. Arjuna had protection of lord krishna and lord hanuman. He had lord shiva for killing his rivals in battle. Arjuna was helped by 3 supreme gods and demons gang was protector of his standard gifted by vishwakarman.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna never had any protection of Lord Hanumana even Lord Hanumana never helped Arjuna by any means. Lord Krishna only saved Arjuna from Karna's Vasavi dart to fulfill the boon of Indra. There is no mention by Sanjaya of Lord Shiva killing Arjuna's enemies. Arjuna's standard was never saved by any demon it was Karna who was possessed by a demon Narakasura.
g. Charioteer of arjuna always inspired him for fight. Lord krishna even told him how to fight? which weapon should be used? where? How? On other hand, karna's charioteer shalya was always demorlizing karna giving him wrong advice. He did this because yudhistira begged him to protect his brother arjuna and damp the spirit of karna.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was also insulted by Yudhishthira but still he didn't lost his energy and fought very well. It was Karna's failure that he lost his energy just because somebody insulted him
h. Karna knew very well that he was going to fight his younger brother but for jealous arjuna, karna was just enemy who was considered to be his superior by his own friend krishna
REFUTATION :-
Karna knew that he is going to fight his younger brother but still neither he showed any mercy nor he fought mildly because he never loved his younger brothers and was always jealous of Arjuna who was always superior to him and considered the supreme warrior by everyone including Lord Krishna
19. Karna was the only warrior who was cheated by maximum people as confessed by narada
REFUTATION :-
Karna was never cheated by anyone and the same Narada called Karna a wicked man
a. First indra bite his lap for the benefit of arjuna and then begged his armour-rings.
REFUTATION :-
Indra never bite the lap of Karna as confessed by Narada who exposed liar Karna. It was demon who bite the lap of Karna
b. Kunti begged him to spare pandava and even mentally tortured him.
REFUTATION :-
Kunti asked Karna to make peace with Pandavas but still Karna rejected her offer clearly said that he will try his best to kill Arjuna. He also promised Bhishma to kill all the Pandavas.Nowhere it's written that Kunti mentally tortured Karna
c. Krishna did the same like kunti. Bhishma also insulted him to save pandava from his wrath.
REFUTATION :-
As usual Karna rejected the offer of Lord Krishna also and Karna promised to fight Arjuna with his full might. Bhishma insulted Karna because he wanted to prevent the war between the brothers.Bhishma had no doubt in Arjuna's capability.
d. Drona also refused to teach him advance archery and weapons being partial to arjuna.
REFUTATION :-
Drona taught Karna each and every technique of archery from basic archery to celestial weapons. Drona refused to teach Karna Brahmastra only because Karna was a wicked person as confessed by Narada.
e. Kripacharya also insulted him on the ground of cast.
REFUTATION :-
Kripacharya never insulted Karna on the ground of cast. Kripa told Karna the bitter truth that he is much inferior to Arjuna.
f. Shalya also insulted him for the sake of yudhistira.
REFUTATION :-
Latter Shalya cheered Karna.Arjuna was also insulted by Yudhishthira but still he fought very well because he was mentally strong unlike Karna.
g. Arjuna used nalika arrows which were banned to use in war.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna using nallika arrows is an interpolation according to BORI. It was Karna who used nallika arrows against Ghatotkacha.
h. Arjuna and krishna together plotted many times to cheat karna. Arjuna had ordered pandava warriors to attack karna so that karna should be consume by fatigue and arjuna should be fresh before final battle. Krishna didn't let arjuna to face karna directly specially when karna was destroying pandava warriors
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna and Lord Krishna never cheated Karna. It was Karna who ordered Kuru warriors to attack Arjuna in order to damp his energy. Lord Krishna never stopped Arjuna to face Karna because they wanted to see the medical condition of Yudhishthira
i. Even before final encounter with arjuna, karna faced more than 11 group attacks by all pandava warriors including 4 pandavas, satyaki, dhristdyumn, Yudhamanyu, uppandavas and many other warriors. Karna alone made all of them to flee at every encounter but karna lost his maximum stock of weapon and his horses/driver were consumed by fatigue. He was mangled during all encounters. His ordinary armour was already weakened before final fight. Even after all this coward arjuna failed to defeat karna in archery and just like coward he attacked karna from behind later was extracting wheel of his chariot.
REFUTATION :-
Karna didn't lost his stock of weapons at all neither his horses and charioteer were consumed by fatigue. Karna entered the warfield on 11th day but Arjuna was fighting from the first day of war. Karna never faced tough opponents like Bhishma and Drona but Arjuna not only faced them but also defeated them in fair war. Arjuna should have consumed with fatigue but still he performed much better than Karna.
20. Karna was superior to arjuna not only in archery. karna was considered to be all rounder warrior.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was superior to Karna not only in archery but also he was considered as an ideal warrior who knew the use of every weapon.
a. Karna was the only warrior who vanquished jarasandh in wrestling fairly. Bhima couldnt beat jarasandh fairly
REFUTATION :-
Karna never defeated Jarasandha in wrestling.Jarasandha was just gratified by Karna's strength just like Lord Shiva was gratified by Arjuna. If gratifying someone is defeating him then Arjuna also defeated Lord Shiva. Bhima defeated Jarasandha fairly.
b. Karna even dragged bhima along the ground and bhima was unable to move even by an inch and unable to stand properly on his foot. Great karna spared him and allowed him to run away from battle.
REFUTATION :-
Karna managed to drag an exhausted and tired Bhima after sacrificing the lives of many Kaurava princes. Bhima never ran away from Karna it's was Karna who latter ran away from Arjuna.
c. Karna was never dragged by any warrior but arjuna was dragged by even woman ulupi along the ground.
REFUTATION :-
Karna was never dragged by any warrior because he never faced Ulupi in his life. What is the guarantee that he couldn't have been dragged by Ulupi if he had been in the place of Arjuna ?
d. Arjuna was unable to handle vajra which was gifted by indra. He couldn't kill single demon nivatkavacha using it but karna caught the vajra of lord shiva using bare arms later hurl by ghatotkach and threw it back towards ghatotkach which destroyed everything be it standard, driver or chariot. Ghatotkach remained alive as he jumped from his chariot
REFUTATION :-
On what basis someone claim that Arjuna couldn't handle Vajra properly ? Arjuna alone killed an army of Nivatkavachas in a single shot of Vajra which is a sufficient proof that nobody could handle Vajra better than Arjuna.
21. Karna was never defeated in fair battle. Infact he was undefeated with Vijaya bow but arjuna was the only warrior who was defeated by all warriors be it warrior class or non-warrior class (D-grade humans)
REFUTATION :-
Karna was defeated many times in fair battle by Bhima,Abhimanyu,Satyaki,Ghatotkacha,Arjuna and Gandharvas.He was also defeated fairly by Bhima on 17th day despite having Vijaya bow. Arjuna was the least defeated warrior of the whole epic who was never defeated in his life by any warrior.
a. Arjuna was fairly defeated by demon nikumbha who hung arjuna in the sky.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was never defeated by demon Nikumbha and hanging into the sky is not a defeat.Poor Karnians completely lost their faith in Mahabharata and now targeting Puranas ðŸ˜œ
b. He was again defeated by drona on 14th day and as usual he fled away from battle turning his back towards preceptor. Drona did his best to chase him but could not as arjuna was the fastest runner of mahabharata
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was not defeated by Drona on 14th day. He quit the war because he didn't wanted to waste precious time.
c. Arjuna was defeated by ashwatthama on 15th day as he bowed his head before narayanastra shot by ashwatthama.
REFUTATION :-
Bowing your head over someone is not a defeat.Actually Arjuna smartly baffled Narayanastra without using any weapon. What is the guarantee that Karna could have baffled Narayanastra without bowing down ?
d. He was again defeated and captured by samsaptakas foot soldiers. Karna was never captured by anyone even gandharvas failed to capture bowless, driverless, chariotless and intoxicated karna but arjuna was captured by samsaptakas foot soldiers on 17th day despite having all advantages.
REFUTATION :-
Samsaptakas never defeated Arjuna they just seized him and nowhere it is written that Arjuna was helpless in front of them. Karna was not intoxicated during Gandharva war. In the whole Mahabharata nowhere it is written that Karna was drinking wine during Gandharva war. Karna lost his bow and chariot but still he could have invoked his celestial weapons just like Arjuna and Ashvatthama did but he was a coward so he ran away.
e. Arjuna was defeated and killed by sandhava foot soldiers during ashwamedha conquest. Saptrishi revived him using their yogic power.
REFUTATION :-
Those Saindhava warriors were not foot soldiers. They were car warriors.And Arjuna was mild towards them as he didn't attacked them but still they attacked and made a mild chariotless Arjuna unconscious and then they kept on attacking an unconscious Arjuna. Saptarshis helped Arjuna in regaining consciousness only and then Arjuna defeated those Saindhava warriors by his own might.
f. His own son vabruvahan cut off his head into six pieces. Arjuna was easily slain by his own son.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was mild towards his son Vabruvahana and he was cursed by the Vasus to get killed by his own son that's why Vabruvahana managed to kill him.
g. Valiant robbers. What to say about these legends? Ordinary humans (without weapons, without chariot, without any knowledge of weapons) just using 6 ft bamboo sticks disrobed arjuna completely tearing him middle apart. Arjuna began to run away to save his life abandoing wives of his best friend krishna to get raped by robbers. He fled away from dwarka towards kurushetra with speed more than 200 Km/Hr. Sanskrit has mentioned this fleeing as 'VIMNA PARTHO' means heroic fleeing
REFUTATION :-
As if Karna defeated the robbers ðŸ˜œ Arjuna had lost his strength and weapons during that encounter so basically he was powerless that time.Karna had all his celestial weapons and strength but still he failed to defeat ordinary Gandharvas whom Arjuna defeated easily.
22. Karna was never saved by anyone from any lethal attack but arjuna was saved by krishna and hanuman from lethal attacks. Sometime, satyaki and other warriors also saved him as rivals of arjuna began to overpower him.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna was never saved by Lord Hanumana.Satyaki also never saved Arjuna from anyone. But Karna was saved by Duryodhana,Ashvatthama and many other warriors.
a. Once Bhishma had shot fierce arrows to kill arjuna but krishna used his steed management skill and baffled arrows thus saved arjuna.
REFUTATION :-
Lord Krishna just performed the duty of a charioteer. Nowhere it is written that Lord Krishna used his divine powers to help Arjuna.It is also not written that he showed extraordinary skills to help Arjuna.
b. On 12th day, bhagadatta was about to crush arjuna under his elephant but as usual krishna using his steed management skill saved arjuna.
REFUTATION :-
Again Lord Krishna just did what a normal charioteer should do. No use of divine powers and no extraordinary skills.
c. Bhagadatta had shot vaishnavastra and arjuna almost lost his head but krishna saved his head once more taking vaishavastra on his chest
REFUTATION :-
Vaishnavastra was inflammable due to the boon of Lord Vishnu to Naraka.So, nobody in the whole world could have stopped Vaishnavastra except Lord Krishna not even Karna.
d. Srutayudha was going to crush arjuna but krishna took that mace on his shoulder thus saved arjuna again
REFUTATION :-
Srutayudha didn't attacked Arjuna at all.He attacked Lord Krishna.Nowhere it is written that Srutayudha was going to kill Arjuna
e. Ashwatthama had shot narayanastra and as usual krishna saved his friend from certain death by revealing the method to baffle narayanastra.
REFUTATION :-
Lord Krishna just revealed the method of baffling Narayanastra. As if Karna already knew the method of baffling Narayanastra ðŸ˜œ
f. On 17th day, samsaptakas had captured arjuna but krishna began to fight violating his vow just to save arjuna.
REFUTATION :-
Samsaptakas never overpowered Arjuna. Nowhere it is written that Arjuna was helpless that time. It is just that Lord Krishna acted more quickly. Latter Arjuna also helped Lord Krishna by throwing all the Samsaptakas.
g. Samsaptakas began to overpower arjuna but hanunan roared which caused army to lose energy and arjuna recovered during the interval offered by hanuman.
REFUTATION :-
Lord Hanumana never roared and Samsaptakas neither overpowered Arjuna nor lost their energy.
h. Arjuna's wife ulupi also saved him as she revived him later was slain by vabruvahan
REFUTATION :-
Already stated that Arjuna was fighting mildly with Vabruvahana and he was also cursed to be killed by his own son
23. Karna never fell unconsious while fighting ordinary enemy but arjuna had world record in losing his sense in battle. He fell unconsious and all time krishna had protected unconsious arjuna untill he recovered his sense.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna never fell unconscious while fighting Karna but Karna got unconscious while fighting Arjuna in post Draupadi swayamvar skirmishes. Arjuna never got unconscious for a long time but on 17th day Karna got unconscious for a very long time as Bhima destroyed many Kauravas during his swooning period.
a. Indra struck arjuna and he fell unconsious during khandav dahan episode.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna quickly regained consciousness and didn't got unconscious for a long time like Karna.
b. Nikumbha struck him and arjuna vomitted blood from mouth and fell unconsious.
REFUTATION :-
This episode is not a part of Mahabharata.
c. Achutayus shot arrows and arjuna fell unconsious.
REFUTATION :-
Again quickly regained consciousness unlike Karna who was unconscious for a long time.
d. He also fell unconsious while fighting susharma, Dhritvarma, Sudakshina, karna, ashwatthama, sandhava etc.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna never took a long time to recover from unconsciousness which is evident from the fact that his opponents can't do any harm to Pandavas army during the swooning period of Arjuna unlike Karna who took a long time to recover from unconsciousness which is evident from the fact that Bhima killed many Kauravas during his swooning period.
24. Karna always fought fairly whereas arjuna always fought unfairly.
REFUTATION :-
It was Karna who broke the rules of a fair war to kill a 16 year old kid.
a. Arjuna had hidden himself behind woman to kill bhishma in battle.
REFUTATION :-
Bhishma had boon of immortality. And Shikhandi had boon of Mahadeva to become a reason of Bhishma's death.So to fulfill the boon Arjuna killed Bhishma in that way
b. He had attacked innocent bhurishrava from behind later was dragging his friend satyaki along the ground.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna didn't attacked Bhurishrava from behind.It was Karna who attacked Panchala soldiers from behind.
c. He had attacked chariotless, bowless, heedless karna from behind later was extracting wheel of chariot.
REFUTATION :-
Karna was cursed by a sage to be killed by Arjuna when he will be completely heedless. So Arjuna killed him to fulfill the curse
d. It's no one other than arjuna who asked bhima to hit duryodhana unfairly below navel.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna just asked Bhima to attack Duryodhana. He didn't attacked Duryodhana. It was Lord Krishna who told Arjuna to do that
25. Karna had killed ghatotkach in front of arjuna. Karna even spared his brothers pandavas in front of arjuna. More than 3/4 pandava army slain by karna in front of arjuna. There is no other warrior except arjuna who caused destruction of his own people to save his life
REFUTATION :-
Bhima killed the brothers of Duryodhana in front of Karna on 14th and 17th day. Arjuna killed brothers and sons of Karna in front of Karna and Karna can't do anything except running away like a coward. Karna was crying like child when Bhima was killing Kauravas in front of him.Karna killed his own army due to lack of skills.
26. Despite having most destructive weapons like Brahmadand and pasupatastra, the great karna never used it. Arjuna forgot pasupatastra being sinful wretch and shiva again gifted him pasupatastra on 13th night of battle. Even karna didn't use bhargavastra and nagastra 2nd time to kill arjuna. He could have finished war by destroying arjuna within moment using his nuclear power but he was responsible warrior who always avoided to use nuclear weapons unlike arjuna who blindly used his all weapons.
REFUTATION :-
There was no weapon like Brahmadanda in mythology. Karna never possessed Pashupatastra. How can Karna use powerful weapons if he didn't possessed it ? Karna didn't used Ashwasena 2nd time because Arjuna had killed him in front of his eyes. Arjuna never used powerful weapons like Pashupatastra and Brahmashirastra on weakling Karna because he was a responsible warrior.
a. Once moron arjuna had invoked nuclear weapons just for the satisfaction of another moron yudhistira and all animals were almost destroyed.
REFUTATION :-
Nowhere it's written that all the animals of Earth were destroyed when Arjuna invoked celestial weapons.Atleast Arjuna didn't used like Nallika arrows on anyone just like Karna did.
b. This moron arjuna even shot brahmastra to kill lord shiva (thinking him to be low cast kirata). Nuclear weapons means responsibilty and only karna was responsible enough to avoid use of nuclear weapons.
REFUTATION :-
Arjuna invoked Brahmastra because Kirata disguised Lord Shiva was overpowering him not because Kirata was a lower cast. Arjuna was most responsible warrior of the epic that's why he never used Bramhashirastra on anyone and attended Brahmacharya as as accepted by Vaisampayana and Vyasa.
27. Karna was never consumed by fatigue in his military career as he was capable to fight 24 hours constantly but arjuna was always consumed by fatigue. Infact arjuna was tired before final battle with karna although he took rest enough before battle inside the tent of yudhistira whereas karna fought entire day without rest. While chasing deer in forest, arjuna was soon consumed by fatigue and hunger
REFUTATION :-
So according to Mahanalayak Karna fans Arjuna was tired in Kurukshetra war and Karna failed to defeat a tired warrior ðŸ˜‚. Even Karna was exhausted during final battle.
28. Karna was the only warrior who conquered entire earth using single chariot. He had defeated 100 kings within minutes during bhanumati swayamvar episode. He was the only warrior who conquered more than 17 group attacks where all pandava warriors (including 5 pandavas, satyaki, dhristdyumn, yudhamanyu and panchalas/chedi/somakas armies) attacked him in group and retreated after defeat by karna. He was the favourite disciple of lord parshuram and favourite rival of arjuna. This is also the reason he is still considered to be finest archer of mahabharat
REFUTATION :- Karna never conquered entire Earth on a single chariot. Karna defeated less than 50 Kings in Bhanumati swayamvar episode. Countering group attacks was not a big achievement as Arjuna alone countered whole army. Arjuna was the favourite disciple of Drona,Kripa and Lord Shiva. This is one of the reasons Arjuna is considered as the greatest archer and warrior of Mahabharata era.
Dear illiterate Karna fans, I can understand your pain that whenever you open the epic to read you always feel ashamed to be a follower of Nangraaj Karna, but that doesn't mean you have to make your fun by posting half information in your posts ðŸ˜œ. I swear I won't make fun of your stupidity if you will accept the bitter truth which is forcing you again and again to show your frustration on your pages ðŸ˜‚

ARJUNA - THE EXCEPTIONAL ARCHER

Mahabharat describes Arjuna as the best warrior of that time,Vyasa again and again retell events where Arjun's lightness of hands and dexterity is shown.From the beginning to end, Arjuna's archery exhibition is really a treat to read.

Let's begin with some incidents involving archery skills -
# 1) ARJUNA,THE 'ONLY' PUPIL TO HIT THE BIRD'S EYE AT GURUKUL -
"Vaisampayana said, 'When everyone had failed, Drona smilingly called Arjuna and said unto him, 'By thee the aim must be shot; therefore, turn thy eyes to it. Thou must let fly the arrow as soon as I give the order. Therefore, O son, stand here with bow and arrow for an instant.' Thus addressed, Arjuna stood aiming at the bird as desired by his preceptor, with his bow bent. An instant after Drona asked him as in the case of others, 'Seest thou, O Arjuna, the bird there, the tree, and myself?' Arjuna replied, 'I see the bird only, but nor the tree, or thyself.' Then the irrepressible Drona, well-pleased with Arjuna, the instant after, again said unto that mighty car-warrior amongst the Pandavas, 'If thou seest the vulture, then describe it to me.' Arjuna said, I see only the head of the vulture, not its body.' At these words of Arjuna, the hair (on Drona's body) stood on end from delight. He then said to Partha, 'Shoot.' And the latter instantly let fly (his arrow) and with his sharp shaft speedily struck off the head of the vulture on the tree and brought it down to the ground. No sooner was the deed done than Drona clasped Phalguna to his bosom and thought Drupada with his friends had already been vanquished in fight.


# 2) ARJUNA,THE 'ONLY' SUITOR TO SUCCEED IN HITTING THE MATSYA YANTRA AT DRAUPADI SWAYAMWAR -
And that bow which Rukma, Sunitha, Vakra, Radha's son, Duryodhana, Salya, and many other kings accomplished in the science and practice of arms, could not even with great exertion, string, Arjuna, the son of Indra, that foremost of all persons endued with energy and like unto the younger brother of Indra (Vishnu) in might, strung in the twinkling of an eye. And taking up the five arrows he shot the mark and caused it to fall down on the ground through the hole in the machine above which it had been placed. Then there arose a loud uproar in the firmament, and the amphitheatre also resounded with a loud clamour. And the gods showered celestial flowers on the head of Partha the slayer of foes.

FROM BORI CE
Adi Parva Chapter 179,
4 यत कर्ण शल्य परमुखैः पार्थिवैर लॊकविश्रुतैः
नानृतं बलवद्भिर हि धनुर्वेदा परायणैः
5 तत कथं तव अकृतास्त्रेण पराणतॊ दुर्बलीयसा
बटु मात्रेण शक्यं हि सज्यं कर्तुं धनुर दविजाः

TRANSLATION:
How can a weak brahmin string the bow which powerful warriors like Karna and Salya and others endued with might and accomplished in the science and practice of arms could not?

# 3) ARJUNA CREATES A ROOF OF ARROWS AT KHANDAVA TO STOP INDRA -
"Vaisampayana said, 'Then Vibhatsu, the son of Pandu, invoking his excellent weapons, prevented that shower of rain by Indra, by means of a shower of his own weapons. And Arjuna of immeasurable soul soon covered the forest of Khandava with innumerable arrows like the moon covering the atmosphere with a thick fog. When the sky above that forest was thus covered with the arrows of Arjuna no living creature could then escape from below.


# 4) ARJUNA WAS CAPABLE OF SHOOTING ARROWS IN THE DARK WITH THE SAME PROFICIENCY -
"A few days after, however, when Arjuna was taking his food, a wind arose, and thereupon the lamp that had been burning went out. But Arjuna, endued with energy, continued eating in the dark, his hand, from habit, going to his mouth. His attention being thus called to the force of habit, the strong-armed son of Pandu set his heart upon practising with his bow in the night. And, O Bharata, Drona, hearing the twang of his bowstring in the night, came to him, and clasping him, said, 'Truly do I tell thee that I shall do that unto thee by which there shall not be an archer equal to thee in this world"


# 5) ARJUNA, THE ONLY WARRIOR IN MAHABHARAT WHO WAS CAPABLE OF SHOOTING ARROWS FROM BOTH HANDS -
"And since both of my hands are capable of drawing the Gandiva, I am known as Savyasachin among gods and men."

O king, in consequence of Partha's shooting arrows with both his right and left hands, the bent Gandiva seemed like a continuous circle of fire. And the son of Kunti then covered Bhishma with hundreds of sharp and keen-edged arrows, like a cloud covering the mountain-breast with its heavy downpour.

# 6) ARJUNA, THE ONLY ARCHER TO KNOW ALL FIVE ARCHERY VIDHIS -
Below are the five archery vidhi's,Arjuna knew them all.
1)Prayoga Vidhi(Simply using/hurling a weapon)
2)Upsanhara Vidhi(Recall/Withdrawing a weapon)
3)Avarti Vidhi(Distress prevention)
4)Prayashachitya Vidhi(This enables the Archer to bring back to life in case an innocent is killed by the Astra)
5)Pratighat Vidhi(Repulsing/Turning back an astra)

And, O Partha, together with (a knowledge of) the five modes, using (them), thou hast obtained five and ten weapons and, therefore, there existeth none, who is thy peer. And thou hast perfectly learnt the discharge (of those weapons) and (their) withdrawal, and (their) re-discharge and re-withdrawal, and the
Prayaschitta connected (with them), and also their revival, in case of their being baffled.


# 7) ARJUNA CREATES AN ARTIFICAL LAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE,FOR HIS HORSES TO DRINK WATER -

Then, in course of that battle, the mighty-armed Janardana, fearlessly addressing that dear friend of his, that foremost of men, viz., Arjuna, said unto him. 'There is no well here in the field of battle, O Arjuna, for the steeds to drink from. The steeds want water for drink, but not for a bath.' Thus addressed by Vasudeva, Arjuna cheerfully said, 'Here it is!' And so saying, he pierced the earth with a weapon and made an excellent lake from which the steeds could drink. And that lake abounded in swans and ducks, and was adorned with Chakravakas. And it was wide and full of transparent water, and abounded in full-blown lotuses of the finest species. And it teemed with diverse kinds of fish.

# 8 ) ARJUNA CREATES A HALL MADE OF ARROWS FOR HIS HORSES TO REST,HE IS COMPARED TO VISHWAKARMA HERE,EVEN LORD KRISHNA WAS DELIGHTED ON THIS ACT -

And Partha, capable of achieving wonderful works like (the celestial artificer) Tvashtri himself, also constructed there an arrowy hall, having arrows for its beams and rafters, arrows for its pillars, and arrows for its roof. Then Govinda smiling in joy, said, 'Excellent, Excellent,' upon seeing the high-souled Partha create that arrowy hall.'"


# 9) ARJUNA DISPLAYS AN EXCELLENT SKILL IN TAKING JAYADRATH'S HEAD TO HIS FATHER'S LAP -

Dhananjaya, then, with his shafts, sent that head along in the welkin (without allowing it to fall down). For grieving his foes and gladdening his friends, the son of Pandu, by shooting his shafts repeatedly at it, sent that head outside the limits of Samantapanchaka.

So it should be clear that Arjuna didn't use Pashupatastra for killing Jayadrath,but using his own archery skill he kept on shooting Jayadrath's head and took it to his father.

# 10) DAY 2 KURUKSHETRA WAR,ALL KURU WARRIORS INCLUDING BHISHMA AND DRONA FAIL TO CROSS THE ARROWS OF ARJUN AND ATLAST THEY WERE FORCED TO RETREAT -

And those thousands of elephants and hundreds of kings, when they came within reach of Arjuna's arrows, were all unable to make any further advance.And all creatures there set up loud wails, and the points of the compass became dark. And then the transgression of the Kurus assumed a fierce and dreadful aspect as regards its consequences. Neither the welkin, nor the cardinal points of the compass nor the earth, nor the sun, could be distinguished, O best of men, in consequence of the arrows shot by Kiritin. 1 And many were the elephants there deprived of the standards (on their backs), and many car-warriors also, deprived of their steeds. And some leaders of car divisions were seen wandering, having abandoned their cars. And other car-warriors, deprived of their cars, were seen to wander hither and thither, weapon in hand and their arms graced with Angadas. And riders of steeds abandoning their steeds and of elephants abandoning their elephants from fear of Arjuna, O king, fled away in all directions. And kings were seen felled or falling from cars and elephants and steeds in consequence of Arjuna's shafts. And Arjuna, assuming a fierce countenance, cut off with his terrible shafts, the upraised arms of warriors, mace in grasp, and arms bearing swords, O king, or darts, or quivers, or shafts, or bows, or hooks, or standards, all over the field. And spiked maces broken in fragments, and mallets, O sire, and bearded darts, and short arrows, and swords also, in that battle, and sharp-edged battle-axes, and lances, O Bharata, and shields broken into pieces, and coats of mail also, O king, 2 and standards, and weapons of all kinds thrown away and umbrellas furnished with golden staves, and iron hooks also, O Bharata, and goads and whips, and traces also, O sire, were seen strewn over the field of battle in heaps.There was no man in thy army, O sire, who could advance against the heroic Arjuna in battle. Whoever, O king, advanced against Pritha's son in battle, pierced by sharp shafts was despatched to the other world. When all these combatants of thine broke had fled away, Arjuna and Vasudeva blew their excellent conches.

# 11) ARJUNA ALONE VANQUISHES THE PROTECTORS OF JAYADARTH,A BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTION OF ARJUN'S ARCHERY FEAT HERE -
READ ON... ðŸ˜Š
So quick was he in the use of weapons that no one could mark when Arjuna took out his arrows, when he fixed them on the bowstring, when he stretched---the bow and let them off. Indeed, while striking the foe, his bow was seen incessantly drawn to a circle. His arrows also were seen incessantly issuing out of his bow and scattered in all directions.


# 12) ARJUNA NEEDED GANDIVA BOW AND INFINITE ARROWS BECAUSE HE WAS SUCH A POWERFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY ARCHER THAT ORDINARY BOWS COULD NOT BEAR THE STRENGTH OF HIS ARMS AND LIMITED ARROWS WOULD BE EQHAUSTED QUICKLY DUE TO THE LIGHTNESS OF HIS HANDS -

(Arjuna to Agni)

But, O exalted one, I have no bow suited to the strength of my arms, and capable of bearing the might I may put forth in battle. In consequence of the lightness of my hands also I require arrows that must never be exhausted

# 13) ARJUNA DEFEATS DURYODHAN WHO WAS EQUIPPED WITH SHIVA'S IMPENETRABLE ARMOUR BY SHOOTING ARROWS ON AREAS WHICH WERE UNCOVERED WITH ARMOUR LIKE HANDS,FINGERS ETC. AGAIN A GREAT ARCHERY FEAT-

And soon also the valiant Partha cut off Duryodhana's bow and the leathern fence of his fingers. Then, Savyasachin commenced to cut off his enemy's car in fragments. And with a couple of keen arrows he made Duryodhana carless. And then Arjuna pierced both the palms of the Kuru king. Beholding that great bowman afflicted with the shafts of Dhananjaya and fallen into great distress, many warriors rushed to the spot, desirous of rescuing him. These, with many thousands of cars, well-equipped elephants and horses, as also with large bodies of foot-soldiers, excited with wrath, encompassed by large bodies of men, neither that car of theirs nor of Arjuna and Govinda could any longer be seen. Then Arjuna, by the might of his weapons, began to slaughter that host. And car-warriors and elephants, by hundreds, deprived of limbs, fell fast on the field. Slain, or in the act of being slain, those failed to reach the excellent car. Indeed, the car on which Arjuna rode, stood motionless full two miles from the besieging force on every side


# 14) ARJUNA CUT THE MIGHTY AGNEYASTRA SHOT BY KARNA JUST BY USING ORDINARY ARROWS
Then (Karna) that foremost of Bharata car-warriors, that delighter of all the Bharatas, that first of all persons acquainted with weapons, invoked into existence the Agneya weapon. Dhananjaya, however, baffled by means of his own arrowy downpours the flights of arrows shot by Radha's son,


# 15) ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY ARCHER WHO COULD SHOOT THE ARROWS WITHIN A RANGE OF 2 MILES
He taketh a large number of arrows and shooteth them as if they were one. Quickly fixing them on the bow-string, he propelleth them to the distance of two miles. They always fall on the foe.

Meanwhile Bhima and Arjuna, learning the enemy was full two miles ahead of them urged their horses to greater speed in pursuit of him. And the mighty Arjuna performed a wonderful deed, killing the horse of Jayadratha although they were full two miles ahead of them. Armed with celestial weapons undaunted by difficulties he achieved this difficult feat with arrows inspired with Mantras. And then the two warriors, Bhima and Arjuna, rushed towards the terrified king of Sindhu whose horses had been slain and who was alone and perplexed in mind.

# 16). ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY ARCHER WHO COULD SHOOT 500 ARROWS AT SINGLE STRETCH
O Krishna, that Arjuna of two arms who always regardeth himself as superior to his namesake of old with thousand arms, and who at one stretch shooteth five hundred arrows, that son of Pandu who in the use of weapons is equal unto king Kartavirya, in energy unto Aditya, in restraint of senses unto a great sage, in forgiveness unto the Earth, and in prowess unto Indra himself.

# 17) ARJUNA SHOT 600 ARROWS IN LESS THAN A SECOND AS IF THEY WERE ONLY ONE. WARRIORS LIKE KARNA HAVE NEVER ACHIEVED SUCH A FEAT

Meantime, stringing his large bow anew, Partha, that foremost of all persons conversant with arms, getting the better of his preceptor, quickly shot six hundred arrows as if he had taken and shot only one arrow.

# 18) ARJUNA KILLED TEN LAKHS GANDHARVAS IN A SINGLE SHOT
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.

# 19) ARJUNA PRAISED BY HIS FRIEND CHITRASENA FOR HIS SUPERHUMAN ARCHERY SKILLS WHEN HE SHOT ARROWS IN ONE CONTINUOUS LINE DURING VIRATA WAR
And beholding that wonderful weapon of great beauty, the mighty Gandiva, Chitrasena, highly pleased, addressed the lord of celestials, saying, 'Behold these arrows shot by Partha coursing through the sky in one continuous line. Wonderful is the dexterity of Jishnu in evolving this celestial weapon! Human beings are incapable of shooting such a weapon, for it does not exist among men. How wonderful again is this concourse of mighty weapons existing from days of old!

# 20) ARJUNA KILLED 7 AKSHOUHINI ARMY IN A SINGLE DAY

( Duryodhana to Drona )
Another disciple of thine, viz ., the invincible Savyasachin, having slain seven. Akshauhinis of troops hath despatched king Jayadratha to Yama's abode.

( Sauti to sages )
then after the death of Abhimanyu, the destruction by Arjuna, in battle of seven Akshauhinis of troops and then of Jayadratha;

# 21) ARJUNA WAS THE ONLY WARRIOR WHO WAS CAPABLE TO DESTROY ALL THE THREE WORLDS IN THE TWINKLING OF THE EYE

I tell thee truly that with Vasudeva as my ally, I can, on a single car, exterminate the three worlds with even the immortals, indeed, all mobile creatures that were, are, will be, in the twinkling of the eye. This is what I think. That terrible and mighty weapon which the Lord of all creatures (Mahadeva) gave me on the occasion of my hand-to-hand encounter with him (in the guise of) a hunter, still existeth with me. Indeed, O tiger among men, that weapon which the Lord of all creatures useth at the end of Yuga for destroying created things, existeth with me. Ganga's son knoweth not that weapon; nor Drona nor Gautama (Kripa); nor Drona's son, O king! How, therefore, can the Suta's son know it. It is not, however, proper to slay ordinary men in battle by means of celestial weapons. We shall (on the other band) vanquish our foes in a fair fight.
