The super comedian blorndies posted 18 occasions which they think are defeats of Arjuna,like if a warrior pierced Arjuna with one arrow,they called that a defeat of Arjuna.The superiority of Arjun throughout Mahabharata is so much that these foolish Blorndies have nothing left other that these irrelevant incidents to defame Arjuna.Seems like they are deprived of their senses or rather don't possess any sense,This post will again do justice and expose them.
Let the exposing of Blorndies begin....
IT'S A LONG POST,BUT READ IT FULL...BLORNDIES WILL BE EXPOSED BIG TIME :P
-----------------------------------
1ST DEFEAT - Karna defeated arjuna in draupadi swayamvar, Arjun lied due to fear of karna -
REFUTATION -
ROFL,It was Karna who was struck in fear -
Narrative:
And when Salya was thus thrown down and Karna was struck with fear, the other monarchs were all alarmed.
And it was Karna who was defeated -
Narrative:
Draupadi in the midst of all the Rajas, by Arjuna, after having successfully pierced the mark; and in the ensuing fight, the #defeat of #Salya, #Kama, and all the other crowned heads at the hands of Bhima and Arjuna of great prowess
---------------------------------
2nd DEFEAT - Kalakanjas destroyed poor arjuna & terrible fear entered in his heart
REFUTATION -
What could the Kalakeyas do ???? Fifteen thousand Kalakeyas on flying chariots,with variety of celestial weapons and united together, FAILED to defeat an alone Arjuna.
Arjuna killed all of them in one shot,and destroyed their city Hiranyapura
Narrative:
And on that weapon being hurled all the universe became filled with these as well as many others wearing various shapes. And again and again wounded by beings of various sights with (pieces of) flesh, fat, bones, and marrow on their persons,--some having three heads, and some four tusks, and some four mouths, and some four arms,--the Danavas met with destruction. And, then, O Bharata, in a moment I slew all those Danavas, with other swarms of arrows composed of the quintessence of stone, flaming like fire or the sun, and possessed of the force of the thunder-bolt. And, seeing them hewn by the Gandiva, and deprived of life, and thrown from the sky, I again bowed unto that god--the Destroyer of Tripura. And, seeing those adorned with unearthly ornaments, crushed by the weapon, the Raudra, the charioteer of the celestials, experienced the greatest delight.
---------------------------------
3rd DEFEAT - Karna defeated arjuna on 12th day of war, finally bhima & satyaki saved arjuna
REFUTATION -
LMAO,Nowhere written that Karna defeated Arjuna :P Neither written that Bhima/Satyaki saved Arjuna :v
IT WAS KARNA WHO WAS SAVED THAT DAY BY DRONA,DURYODHAN AND JAYADRATH WHEN SATYAKI WAS ABOUT TO KILL HIM :D -
Narrative:
Sini's grandson also, of splendour equal to that of Indra himself, taking up another bow pierced Suta's son with four and sixty shafts and roared like a lion. And cutting off Karna's bow with a couple of well-shot shafts, he once more pierced Karna on the arms and the chest with three arrows. The king Duryodhana, and Drona and Jayadratha, #rescued #Karna from the Satyaki-ocean, as the former was about to sink into it.
ROFL...IT'S NOT DONE YET...
ARJUNA KILLED THREE BROTHERS OF KARNA AT THE SAME TIME,INFRONT OF KARNA'S EYES :P
Narrative:
In the very sight of the Dhritarashtras, therefore, as also of the Suta's son, the three uterine brothers of the latter were despatched by Arjuna unaided by any one.
-------------------------------------
4th Defeat & 5th Defeat - Drona defeated arjuna on 14th day of war & arjun fled from battle
REFUTATION -
Half info by blorndies -
Narrative given by Blorndies -
Then keeping the mighty-armed Drona to their right, Arjuna proceeded onwards. Turning his face round, Vibhatsu proceeded
*** Blorndies removed the last two words.
Full Narrative:
Then keeping the mighty-armed Drona to their right, Arjuna proceeded onwards. Turning his face round, Vibhatsu proceeded, shooting his shafts
*** Clearly written that Arjuna proceeded shooting his arrows...How is this a defeat of Arjuna ?
WHERE IS IT WRITTEN THAT ARJUNA WAS DEFEATED/FLED/VANQUISHED/RETREATED ?
EVEN DRONA AVOIDED YUDHISTHIR WHEN ALL HIS WEAPONS GOT BAFFLED,SO DOES THAT MEAN YUDHI DEFEATED DRONA?
Narrative:
Abandoning Yudhishthira, Drona then, with eyes red as copper in rage, began to consume the division of Drupada with the Vayavya weapon.
Regarding Drona saying harsh words about Arjuna to Satyaki -
Drona was frustrated that he could not stop Arjuna,so he said harsh words about Arjuna to Satyaki,because Satyaki was Arjuna's student and would fight Drona if he abuses Arjuna,and won't avoid him.Later Satyaki defeated Drona.
--------------------------------------
6th Defeat - Srutayus and achyutayus destroyed arjuna & nearly slew him on 14th day
REFUTATION -
LOL,Srutayus and Achyutayus only made Arjuna unconscious for a moment,and making unconscious is not a defeat,even Sweta rendered Bhishma unconscious,Yudhi rendered Karna unconscious.And that too when Arjuna was unconscious they were still attacking him -
Narrative:
Then those foremost of car-warriors, (viz., Srutayus and Achyutayus), of true aim, pouring their arrowy showers on all sides, in that battle, made Dhananjaya and Vasudeva of Vrishni's race invisible with their car and car-wheels and Kuvaras, their steeds and flagstaff and banner. And all this seemed wonderful. Meanwhile, O Bharata, Vibhatsu slowly regained his senses
*** Here the Srutayus and Achyutayus shooting arrows on an unconscious Arjuna,still could not do any good.
It was Srutayus and Achyutayus who were killed by Arjuna in one shot,nowhere written that they defeated Arjuna -
Narrative:
Beholding his car with Kesava overwhelmed with arrows and seeing also those two antagonists of his staying before him like two blazing fires, the mighty car-warriors Partha then invoked into existence the weapon named after Sakra. From that weapon flowed thousands of straight shafts. And those shafts struck Srutayus and Achyutayus, those mighty bowmen. And the arrows shot by the latter, pierced by those of Partha, coursed through the welkin. And the son of Pandu quickly baffling those arrows by the force of his own arrows, began to career over the field, encountering mighty car-warriors. Meanwhile Srutayus and Achyutayus were, by Arjuna's arrowy showers, deprived of their arms and heads.
-------------------------------------------
7th Defeat - Total eight kuru maharathis completely vanquished poor arjuna
REFUTATION -
Lol,Nowhere written that they defeated or vanquished Arjun,Blorndies are illiterates who can't even read properly.
Narrative:
And the feat that Kunti's son, having Krishna for his charioteer, achieved there, was highly wonderful, inasmuch as, alone, he encountered fearlessly all those warriors united together. And that mighty-armed hero looked resplendent as he stretched his bow Gandiva, desirous of vanquishing all those tigers among men for slaying the ruler of the Sindhus. With his shafts shot in thousands, that tiger among men, viz., Arjuna, that scorcher of foes, made all those warriors invisible (by means of his arrowy showers). On their side, those tigers among men, those mighty car-warriors, also made Partha invisible by means of their clouds of shafts shot from all sides. Beholding Arjuna, that bull of Kuru's race covered by those lions among men with their shafts, loud was the uproar made by thy troops.'
It's clear that Arjuna was encountering those 9 Kaurava Maharathis.The fact is all nine united together could not defeat Arjuna.
--------------------------------------------
8th Defeat - Aswatthama badly defeated arjuna on 15th day of war
REFUTATION -
Lol,Ashwathama never defeated Arjuna.
- Arjuna nullified the most powerful Agneya weapon shot by Ashwathama -
Narrative:
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
- Ashwathama ran away and started crying when his weapon got baffled :P -
Narrative:
Laying aside his bow, then, the son of Drona speedily alighted from his car, and saying, 'O fie, fie! Every thing is untrue,' he ran away from the fight.
--------------------------------------------
9th & 10th Defeat - Aswatthama again defeated arjuna on 16th day
REFUTATION -
ASHWATHAMA WAS NEVER ABLE TO DEFEAT ARJUNA.HE WAS DEFEATED IN ALL ENCOUNTERS AGAINST ARJUNA.NOWHERE WRITTEN THAT HE DEFEATED ARJUNA.
- ARJUNA WAS SPARING ASHWATHAMA
Narrative:
Then the chief of the Dasharhas addressed Arjuna and said, "Why errest thou in thus sparing Ashvatthama? Slay this warrior. If treated with indifference, even this one will be the cause of great woe, like a disease not sought to be put down by treatment
- ASHWATHAMA HIMSELF ABSTAINED FROM THAT BATTLE WHEN HE STARTED LOSING AND COULD NOT PREVAIL -
Narrative:
Then cutting off the traces of Ashvatthama's steeds, Arjuna began to pierce the steeds themselves, whereat the latter bore Ashvatthama away to a great distance from the field. Thus borne away by these steeds endued with the speed of the wind, the intelligent son of Drona, deeply afflicted with the shafts of Partha, reflecting for some time, wished not to go back and renew the fight with Partha. Knowing that victory is ever with the chief of the Vrishnis and with Dhananjaya, that foremost one of Angirasa's race, endued with great activity, entered the army of Karna, deprived of hope and with shafts and weapons almost exhausted. Indeed, Drona's son, restraining his steeds, and having comforted himself a little, O sire, entered the force of Karna, teeming with cars and steeds and men.
PS: ASHWATHAMA AND ARJUNA HAD MANY BATTLES,BUT THE RESULT OF ALL BATTLES WAS EITHER VICTORY OF ARJUNA OR NO RESULT.
--------------------------------------------
11th Defeat - Karna defeated Arjuna in afternoon of 16th day war
REFUTATION:
LOL,PIERCING FEW ARROWS IS NOT A DEFEAT.THAT TOO KARNA ATTACKED ARJUNA WITHOUT ANY WARNING.NOWHERE WRITTEN THAT SATYAKI RESCUED ARJUNA,HE CONTINUED HIS BATTLE WITH KARNA,AS THE FORMER HAD LEFT THE BATTLE WITH HIM AND ATTACKED ARJUNA.NOWHERE WRITTEN THAT KARNA DEFEATED ARJUNA :v
IT WAS KARNA WHO WAS RESCUED BY VRISHASENA FROM ORDINARY FOOT SOLDIERS OF PANCHALA ARMY :P
"The eldest son of Karna, viz., the mighty car-warrior Vrishasena, himself protected his father's rear"
Desirous of rescuing their father, the sons of Karna, all of whom were effectual smiters, and many other heroes, O king, of thy army, resisted those (Pandava) heroes.
It was Karna who lost on 16th Day
-------------------------------------------
12th Defeat - Susharma defeated arjuna on 17th day of war
REFUTATION:
LOL,MAKING UNCONCIOUS FOR A MOMENT IS NOT A DEFEAT,SOON AFTER RECOVERING SENSES,ARJUNA WIPED OFF ALMOST THE COMPLETE SAMSPATAKA ARMY IN FRONT OF SUSHARMA'S EYES,INFACT SUSHARMA HIMSELF COULD NOT STAND AGAINST ARJUNA -
Narrative:
Recovering his senses, Partha of immeasurable soul, owning white steeds and having Krishna for his driver, speedily invoked the Aindra weapon. Then thousands of arrows, O sire, issuing from that weapon, were seen on all sides to slay kings and elephants. And steeds and warriors, in hundreds and thousands, were also seen to be slaughtered in that battle, with these weapons. Then while the troops were thus being slaughtered, a great fear entered the hearts of all the samsaptakas and Gopalas, O Bharata. There was no man amongst them that could fight with Arjuna. There in the very sight of all the heroes, Arjuna began to destroy thy troops. Beholding that slaughter, all of them remained perfectly inactive, without putting forth their prowess. Then the son of Pandu having slain full 10,000 combatants in that battle, looked resplendent, O monarch, like a blazing fire without smoke. And then he slew full 14,000 warriors, and 3,000 warriors, and 3,000 elephants. Then the samsaptakas once more encompassed Dhananjaya, making death or victory their goal. The battle then that took place there between thy warriors and that mighty hero, viz., the diadem-decked son of Pandu became awful.'"
---------------------------------------------
13th Defeat - Aswatthama totally routed arjuna on 17th day
REFUTATION:
LOL,AGAIN IT WAS ASHWATHAMA WHO WAS DEFEATED AND HIS CHARIOTEER TOOK HIS CHARIOT AWAY FOR PROTECTING HIM FROM ARJUNA -
Narrative:
Thus addressed by Krishna, Partha speedily took up four and ten broad-headed arrows at a time, when speed was of the highest moment, and with them he cut off Ashvatthama's bow and standard and umbrella and banners and car and dart and mace. With a few calf-toothed arrows he then deeply struck the son of Drona in the latter's shoulder. Thereupon overcome with a deep swoon, Ashvatthama sat down, supporting himself on his flagstaff. The latter's driver then, O monarch, desirous of protecting him from Dhananjaya, bore him away insensible and thus deeply afflicted by the foe.
--------------------------------------------
14th Defeat - Karna vanquished arjuna on 17th day of war & arjuna fled
REFUTATION:
OVER GLORIFIED BHARGAVASTRA :P IT FAILED TO GIVE ARJUNA A SCRATCH :v
NOW READ WHAT HAPPENED -
Either Arjuna or Bhimasena had to go to see Yudhishthir.
>> Arjun asks Bhima to go -
"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!' "
>> But Bhima says that he cannot leave and instructs Arjuna to go -
"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!'
THIS IS NOT FLEEING OR RETREATING FROM BATTLEFIELD.
-------------------------------------------
15th Defeat - Karna defeated arjuna & spared unconsious arjuna following rules of war
REFUTATION:
ROFL,AS I SAID EARLIER,MAKING UNCONCIOUS IS NOT A DEFEAT.NOWHERE WRITTEN THAT KARNA SPARED ARJUNA,IT'S COOKED BY KARNA LOVERS :v ULTIMATELY KARNA GOT KILLED,THAT'S THE TRUTH
THE CRITICAL EDITION ALSO DROPS THIS INCIDENT AS IN INTERPOLATION.
IF KARNA LOVERS CONSIDER THIS AS A DEFEAT,THE KARNA WAS DEFEATED AND SPARED BY YUDHISTHIR :P -
Narrative:
Sped by the king endued with great might, that arrow whose whizz resembled the noise of the thunder, suddenly pierced Karna, that mighty car-warrior, on his left side. Deeply afflicted by the violence of that stroke, the mighty-armed Karna with weakened limbs, fell into a swoon on his car, his bow dropping from his hand. Beholding Karna in that plight, the vast Dhartarashtra host uttered cries of "Oh" and "Alas," and the faces of all the combatants became colourless. Beholding the prowess of their king, on the other hand, O monarch, amongst the Pandavas, leonine roars and shouts and confused cries of joy arose.
--------------------------------------------
16th Defeat - Nikumbha vanquished arjuna & hung him in sky
REFUTATION:
First of all, this incident is not a part of Mahabharat hence we can not take it seriously, however if some people believe in Puranas(eg-Harivamsha) then i have to say:-
Nikumbha with an invincibility boon from Lord Shiva could only make Arjuna and Pradyumna unconscious.Making unconscious is not a defeat. He even made Lord Krishna unconscious.So is this a defeat of the invincible trio ??
Again,Nowhere in the entire chapter can I read that Nikumbha 'defeated' or 'vanquished' Arjuna/Pradyumna/Krishna.
--------------------------------------------
17th Defeat - Arjuna's own son vabhruvahana slew arjuna in battle
REFUTATION:
Arjuna was cursed to be killed by his own son.It was a curse of Vasus.Ulupi fabricated the entire thing to satisfy the Vasus.This cannot be considered as a defeat.
READ WHAT ULUPI SAID TO VABHRUVAHANA -
Narrative:
Rise up, O son. Do not grieve. Jishnu has not been vanquished by thee. This hero is incapable of being vanquished by men as also by the deities with Vasava himself at their head I have exhibited this illusion, deceiving your senses, for the benefit of this foremost of men,
www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m14/m14080.htm
I don't think I need to say anything more.
--------------------------------------------
18th Defeat - Robbers defeated Arjuna
REFUTATION:
THE ONE WHO CLAIMS THIS IS THE MOST ILLITERATE.
Arjun was never defeated by the robbers in Dwarka. But he failed to protect the Vrishni ladies from the robbers.
Some people think that Arjun failed to lift the Gandiva,which is incorrect,not written anywhere in Mausala Parva. If he failed to lift the Gandiva then how come he return it back to Varuna deva in Mahaprasthanika?
Yes,its written that Arjuna had a great difficulty in stringing the bow,but that was because he had lost his physical strength that time(Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 7,Sloka 55)
It's also a known fact that Gandiva could have been stringed only by Arjun,Bhima and Shri Krishna and no fourth human. (Mahabharat Parva 3,Chapter 12,Sloka 77)
Arjuna tried to invoke his divine weapons,but none of them appeared. (Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 7,Sloka 56)
Then Arjun attacked the robbers with his arrows,very quickly his quiver of arrows got exhausted which was inexhaustible. (Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 7,Sloka 61)
Even after all this,Arjuna did not gave up,he attacked the robbers with the horns of his Gandiva bow and started killing them. (Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 7,Sloka 62)
Arjuna managed to save the primary wives of Shri Krishna but since the robbers were in thousands and Arjuna alone was practically weaponless(Just had a bow,no arrows,no celestial weapons),he could not save the remaining women and wealth which robbers stole.Arjuna became sad on this and went to Ved Vyas.
Now the question is,Why did Arjun's celestial weapons didn't work? Why did his quivers of arrows became exhausted which was once inexhaustible ?Why did Arjun lost the strength of his arms? Why Arjuna failed to protect remaning Vrishni women ?
Ved Vyas tells us the answers -
Vyas tells Arjuna that his weapons have achieved success,so they have returned back to the place from where they came from. That's why his arrows got exhausted and his celestial weapons did not appear. Arjun's job on earth was over,that's why his weapons were taken back, when time will come,he will again get the weapons back in his hands. (Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 8,Sloka 35-36)
Apart from this,Ved Vyas in the same chapter says that Arjuna is an undefeated warrior and he does not know even a single incident where Arjuna has been defeated,Perhaps that's the reason he is called '#Vijaya or #Undefeated'. (Mahabharat Parva 16,Chapter 8,Sloka 6)
P.S: Vyasa himself said "I do not know that thou hast been defeated by anyone."
http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m16/m16008.htm (whole conversation between Vyas & Arjun)
------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION -
Arjuna was NEVER defeated.You won't find the words like 'Defeated' 'Vanquished' 'Fled' 'Retreated' etc for Arjuna in Mahabharat.He was made unconscious on a few occasions but that was because he alone faced a very large army headed by Maharathis everytime,and even when he was made unconscious,he quickly regained senses and Vanquished/Killed his foes on EVERY OCCASION.
NONE OF THE KAURAVA WARRIORS WERE ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM,NEITHER BHISHMA,NOR DRONA,NOR KRIPA,NOR ASHWATHAMA,NOR KARNA.AND IN RETURN,ARJUNA DEFEATED ALL OF THESE MANY TIMES.NONE OF THESE KAURAVA WARRIORS HAD TO FACE THOUGH SITUATIONS LIKE ARJUNA FACED.STILL THEY COULD NOT DEFEAT ARJUNA EVEN ONCE.THAT'S WHY,IT'S ARJUNA WHO IS THE ULTIMATE HERO OR THE MAHANAYAK OF MAHABHARAT.
AS FAR AS THE FRUSTRATED NANGU BHAKTAS ARE CONCERNED,THESE ILLITERATE IDIOTS CAN ENTERTAIN US BY THESE KIND OF FOOLISH CLAIMS,WE SHALL KEEP BLOWING THESE JERKS,WHO READ MAHABHARAT WITH A MISCROSCOPE JUST TO FIND A DEFEAT OF ARJUNA BUT COULD NOT FIND EVEN A SINGLE DEFEAT :D
