FAIR DEATH OF KARNA BY ARJUNA

FAIR DEATH OF KARNA BY ARJUNA

It's a big misconception that Arjuna killed Karna by cheating and by using unfair means but according to BORI CE which is the most authentic version of Vyasa Mahabharata, Arjuna killed Karna in a fair fight.All the references provided here are from Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE

Here's the description of Arjuna killing Karna from actual event of Karna Parva :-

KARNA PARVA Section-67

EXPLANATION :-

It's clearly written that after trying to lift the wheel of chariot he countered Agniastra using a Varunastra and then Arjuna killed him so he wasn't unarmed.

Excuse of Karna fans

Excuse no.1 )- Nowhere it's written that Karna stopped lifting the wheel of his chariot when he used Varunastra and nowhere it's written that Karna used bow and arrow to use Varunastra

Disrobing :-So according to our beloved nursery failed Karna fans their idol used Varunastra while lifting the wheel of his chariot using both of his hands

TWO MINUTES SILENCE FOR THE DEADLY THEORY

Now jokes apart and even if we consider that Karna shot Varunastra using his one hand only while using his another hand to lift the wheel of his chariot then how can someone say that he was unarmed as he had can use his weapons using his single hand only. The termed unarmed and weaponless are used for that person who don't have weapons and if that person don't have weapons then how can he use it, Karna used Varunastra after trying to lift the wheel of his chariot clearly means he was not unarmed

Excuse no.2 )- Sanjaya didn't mentioned the position of Karna when Arjuna cut the flag of his chariot and killed him

Disrobing :-Sanjaya also didn't mentioned that whether Karna was trying to extricate his chariot again after using Varunastra or not. Karna didn't had the counter of the arrows shot by Arjuna to cut his flag and to kill him that's why he was standing there helplessly so Sanjaya thought it's useless to mention that Karna is standing helplessly.

Excuse no.3 )- Duryodhana was right in saying that Karna was killed unarmed and unfairly

Disrobing :-

Here's the statement of Duryodhana :-

Shalya Parva Section- 60

According to the statement of Duryodhana :-

1). Lord Krishna was a crook warrior who unfairly killed many Kings.

2). It was Lord Krishna who killed Bhishma

3). It was Lord Krishna who killed Karna not Arjuna

4). Lord Krishna who defeated an army of demigods in Khandava forest was inferior to Duryodhana who was defeated by mere Gandharvas

Even according to the statement of Duryodhana Karna was not killed weaponless as Duryodhana was telling the summary not the whole description so he skipped Karna firing Varunastra and continuing the fight.

Excuse no.4 )- Gods started crying when they heard that Karna was killed unfairly from the mouth of Duryodhana

Disrobing :- Nowhere it's written that any god or demigod cried for Karna. It were the Pandavas who wept for Karna.

Here they is referred to Pandavas as Lord Krishna was at the forefront of Pandavas.Bibek Debroy himself cleared in his footnotes that they is referred to Pandavas here. So neither any god nor any demigod cried for Karna.

Excuse no.5 )- Lord Krishna confessed that Arjuna wasn't capable to kill Karna fairly

Disrobing :-

According to the statements of Lord Krishna(see the previous screenshot)

1). Lord Krishna himself was incapable of defeating Karna in fair battle as Lord Krishna used the word "we" not "you".

2). Pandavas were like gods who used the method to defeat Kauravas and Karna who were like Asuras/demons

3). Killing someone by cheating is a good route

Now by reading all the statement we can very well understand that this cannot be taken seriously as a powerful god like Lord Krishna don't have to use unfair methods to defeat mortals like Duryodhana,Karna,Bhishma,Drona and Bhurishrava specially if he has the help of a warrior like Arjuna who alone defeated these warriors.

Excuse no.6)- Statements of Duryodhana and Lord Krishna proofs that Karna was killed unfairly

Disrobing :-We already exposed those overglorified statements of Duryodhana and Lord Krishna in above points but still if someone thinks that those statements are true then why did Vyasa and Vaisampayana called Arjuna righteous and virtuous.

SAUPTIKA PARVA Section-15

HereVaisampayanasaid that Arjuna was pure person that's why he was capable to withdraw Bramhshirastra.

Here Vyasa said that Arjuna always followed the dharma of a Kshatriya and was a righteous man.

So both Vaisampayana and Vyasa debunked the statements of Duryodhana and Lord Krishna.

One more point should be noted here that every statement of Lord Krishna should not be taken seriously as the same Lord Krishna also said that Arjuna defeated Lord Shiva in a combat. Here's the proof :-

Sauptika Pava Section- 12

Here Lord Krishna clearly said that Arjuna defeated Lord Shiva himself but in reality it was Lord Shiva who had overpowered Arjuna. So the statement of Lord Krishna should not be taken seriously if it is not the part of actual fight sequences.

So the statements of Lord Krishna and Duryodhana don't prove that Karna was killed unfairly.

Conclusion :- Arjuna killed Karna in a fair fight not vice versa
