ARJUNA:- THE BEST EYE FIGHTER OF MAHABHARAT

We all know that Arjuna was the greatest archer of Mahabharat but only a few people know about this unique skill of Arjuna that is he was the best eye fighter too, Who easily crushed Karna in eye fighting before final battle. Lord Krishna also defeated Shalya there in eye fighting.

BORI CE, KARNA PARVA, SECTION-63

अविध्यत पुण्डरीकाक्षः शल्यं नयनसायकैः

     स चापि पुण्डरीकाक्षं तथैवाभिसमैक्षत

 72 तत्राजयद वासुदेवः शल्यं नयनसायकैः

     कर्णं चाप्य अजयद दृष्ट्या कुन्तीपुत्रॊ धनंजयः

Debroy translation:-

Narr:- “Pundarikaksha pierced Shalya with the arrows of his sight and he also glanced back at Pundarikaksha in a similar way. Using the arrows of his sight, Vasudeva defeated Shalya. Kunti’s son,#Dhananjaya,_also_glanced at #Karna with his sight and #vanquished_him. 

KMG Translation:— The lotus-eyed Keshava pierced Shalya with his keen glances. The latter also cast similar glances at the former. Vasudeva, however, vanquished Shalya with those glances of his, while Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti, vanquished Karna with his glances. Then the Suta's son, smilingly addressing Shalya, said, "If Partha by any means slays me in battle today, tell me truly, O friend, what thou wilt do after that." Shalya answered, saying, "If thou art slain, I myself will slay both Krishna and Dhananjaya." Once more the ruler of the Madras said, "If, O Karna, the white steeded Arjuna slays thee in battle today, I myself, on a single car, will slay both Madhava and Phalguna.'"
