Let's See How Much Karna Cared For The Honor Of His Mother Radha When She Was Insulted By Duryodhana

It has always been the  duty of Bhimta Karnandus to expose Duryodhana regarding this matter but I saw that instead of exposing him,  Bhutta Bhaktas are busy in worshiping Duryodhana so before taking a break from this page, I thought to expose him. Let's see how Duryodhana insulted his friend's foster mother

Here Duryodhana says that Radha is like a deer who can't give birth to a tiger (Karna) 

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 127, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Can a deer give birth to this tiger, equal to the sun, with natural armour and earrings and possessing all the auspicious marks? This lord of men deserves to be king, not only of Anga but of the entire world, through the valour of his arms and my obedience to him.

It is like an insult for any mother as no mother will want to hear that she is like a deer and can't give birth to a person who is like a tiger (Although Karna wasn't like a tiger, he was like a rat but here I am talking from the point of view of Duryodhana😁)

Here Duryodhana again insulted Karna's foster mother by saying that Karna can not be from the lineage of a suta as a doe (Radhab) can't give birth to a tiger (Karna)

 Karna Parva, Chapter No. 24, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

I therefore think that Karna cannot have been born in the lineage of a suta. I think that he is the son of a god, born in the

lineage of kshatriyas. The maharatha is long in his arms and possessed earrings and armour. How can a doe give birth to such a tiger? 

Ironically, Duryodhana delivered both of his statements infront of his friend, And Karna didn't even dare to speak against Duryodhana for his mother's honor. May be he will also be enjoying Duryodhana's words by thinking that yes Radha can't give birth to a tiger like son.

Was Arjuna Really Defeated By The Robbers ?

Whenever Arjuna fans say that Arjuna was undefeatable and an undefeated warrior, Bhutta fans starts to cry about Arjuna-Robbers battle. As per them, Arjuna was defeated by the robbers. Also they highlight this incident in such a way, as if they aren't Karna fans but Robber's fans 😁

Let's debunk their claims regarding Arjuna-robbers battle

First of all, it should be noted that Arjuna lost everything in this battle because of unexpected supernatural reason not because of his enemies or because of his own decision so he shouldn't be blamed for losing everything.

It should also be noted that the robbers had no role in the matter of Arjuna loosing his weapons and physical strength so basically Arjuna had nothing there which he could use to save those ladies

Mousala Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He then thought of his weapons, but couldn’t remember them. In the engagement, he witnessed this great calamity of the strength of his arms having disappeared. The great and divine

weapons no longer manifested themselves and he was ashamed. 

Even his quivers, which were inexhaustible were exhausted in a few moments

Dhananjaya, forcefully shot arrows

from Gandiva and struck the bandits. O king! However, in a short while, his arrows were exhausted. Earlier, his quivers used to be inexhaustible. But now, the arrows were exhausted. Seeing that his arrows were exhausted, he was filled with sorrow and grief.

Other warriors were without energy then it won't be wrong if I say that Arjuna was alone there

Mousala Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Those abhiras saw the opportunity to do something wicked and consulted each other. “Arjuna is the only warrior. There

are the aged and the young. The husbands have been killed. The other warriors are without energy and are passing through our territory.”

Did Robbers really defeat Arjuna ?

No, To defeat someone, one needs to attack him but the robbers never attacked Arjuna. Nor any battle happened between them. They attacked only on Vrishni warriors

It was Arjuna who attacked the robbers and tried to save Vrishni ladies but viceversa never happened. Not to speak of defeat, the Robbers didn't even dare to glance at Arjuna after coming there

If failing to save someone is a defeat then Karna faced more than 20 defeats in this criteria only as he repeatedly failed to save his brother,sons and soldiers from the Pandava warriors.

Now the next excuse is that the word retreat is used there for Arjuna hence Arjuna was defeated

Disrobing :- Lol I have already explained in previous slide, a battle didn't occur between them hence Arjuna's defeat is out of context 😹

Moreover here retreat doesn't mean flee or turn back from the battle. The word retreat is used here for Arjuna's act as Arjuna was trying to save those ladies but stopped (retreated from his act) to save those ladies when he thought that he can't save them now

 Mousala Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 The weapons had disappeared and the valour of his arms had been destroyed. The bow was no longer under his

control and his arrows had been exhausted. Partha was cheerless and thought. ‘O king! He started to retreat and said, “This is nothing but destiny.” The immensely intelligent one collected the remaining wives and the remaining jewels and went to Kurukshetra.

So where did you find that Arjuna fled away from battle ? In your dreams ? 🤣🤣

One more claim made by them is that the robbers abducted Krishna's wives.

Disrobing :- The robbers had abducted Krishna's wives is mentioned only in Purana scriptures but it should be noted that in Puranas it is because of Brahman's curse and Shri Krishna's curse, they were abducted by the robbers. Now the question is that If Karna fans use Puranas to claim it then why do these bhutta fans cry that Arjuna failed to save Krishna's wives ?Don't they know about curse from the same sources? Or the entire bhutta community is suffering from mental disorder ? 🤣😁 The fact is that Purana literature doesn't matter in the case of Mahabharata as both are different literature, plus the Puranas contain the stories of many Kalpas thats why it's story can't be taken seriously in the matter of Mahabharata. 

In Mahabharata, no wife of Shri Krishna was abducted by the robbers,only some ordinary Yadava ladies were abducted

Mousala Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy

The son of Paka’s chastiser used the ends

of the bow to kill bandits. O Janamejaya! However, in every direction, while Partha looked on, the mlechchhas seized the best of the Vrishni and Andhaka women.

In the narrative provided above it's written that best of Vrishni and Andhaka women but no mention of Shri Krishna's wives getting abducted.

Disrobing Some Excuses Regarding Gandharvas War Given By Karnandus

Well, I haven't talked about Gandharva War from a long time that's why now I am publishing a post on Gandharva War while clearing many popular misconceptions spread by dear Leftist Karnandus. 

Excuse No. 1 :- Karna defeated Gandharvas twice before fleeing from battlefield.

Disrobing :- It is a pure lie. Yes it is true that he defeated and killed some gandharvas but those who were defeated by Karna were the army of Chitrasena, not Chitrasena himself. For example, defeating/killing some Pandavas soldiers in Kuru war doesn't mean defeating Arjuna himself or defeating some Pandava soldiers doesn't mean that the Pandava side got defeated on that day and while mentioning Gandharva War we refers the war of Karna with either all the Gandharvas or with Chitrasena but not with some specific Gandharvas who were defeated by him 😁

Initially the king of Gandharvas (Chitrasena) hadn't interfered in battle,only his armies were fighting with Karna and Kauravas, which you can see in the narrative mentioned below

 Vana Parva, Chapter No. 230, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

The maharatha sliced off the heads of many gandharvas and in a short while, dispersed all of Chitrasena’s army. Although the gandharvas were killed by the intelligent son of the suta, they returned again in hundreds and thousands. In a short instant, the earth was covered with gandharvas and Chitrasena’s soldiers descended with great force. 

But when his (Chitrasena's)  soldiers were oppressed by Karna, Duryodhana, Duhshasana, Vikarna and Shakuni then he interfered in battle

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 230, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

On seeing that the gandharvas were frightened, Chitrasena was overcome with anger. He angrily flew up from his seat, resolving to kill them. That brave one began to fight with weapons of maya, following wonderful paths.

And after that the rest is history, we all know what happened there then. Chitrasena along with his armies misused all of them for his dance workout 🤣🤣

Karna ascended on Vikarna's chariot to flee from battle and was routed by the Gandharvas.

 Vana Parva, Chapter No. 230 and Chapter No. 231, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

With a desire to kill the son of the suta, the immensely strong ones surrounded him from all sides, with swords, javelins, spears and maces. Some sliced off the yoke, others brought down the flagpole. Some brought down the shafts, the horses and the charioteer. Some sliced down the umbrella, others the fenders and the diadem. In many thousands, the gandharvas shattered the chariot. Holding a sword and a shield in his hand, the son of the suta jumped down from the chariot. He leapt onto Vikarna’s chariot and whipped the horses, so that he might escape. Vaishampayana said, ‘O great king! When maharatha Karna was routed by the gandharvas, in the sight of the sons of Dhritarashtra, the entire army fled.

So, Karna did hold up his own against the Gandharvas for some time but finally he gave up the battle and fled away due to lack of skill of fighting whole army of celestials like Arjuna.

Excuse No. 2 :- Chitrasena did group attack on Karna, which is unfair in a war.

Disrobing :- The group attack on a warrior is not unfair in an open war. Only in close war, it is unfair. For example Abhimanyu faced group attack in a close war, not in open war. All the paths were blocked for other warriors which could give entry inside Chakravyuh but Karna-Chitrasena battle was an open  battle. Plus Karna was not alone there, he had support of multiple warriors like Duryodhana, Shakuni, Vikarna and Duhshasana e.tc. 

 Vana Parva, Chapter No. 230, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Then King Duryodhana, Shakuni Soubala, Duhshasana, Vikarna and other sons of Dhritarashtra ascended chariots that screeched like Garuda and began to kill those soldiers. They fought again, placing Karna at the forefront.

Excuse No. 3 :- Karna had defeated Gandharvas in his conquest

Disrobing :- When he did conquest in his life ? That line of KMG translation of Mahabharata which says that Karna had conquered Gandharvas was just a later event and a mistranslation by Kisari Mohan Ganguli Sir as he had translated Gandhara as Gandharvas which has been corrected by Dr. Bibek Debroy in his translation of BORI CE. There is no line in BORI CE and it's one and only translation i.e the Debroy translation which says that Karna ever defeated any Gandharva in his conquest

Just for your knowledge, There were many tribes of Gandharvas and the tribe of Chitrasena was one of them.

Excuse No. 4 :- Karna was intoxicated with alcohol during his fight with Gandharvas 

Disrobing :- To get intoxicated with alcohol one needs to consume alcohol but nowhere it's written that Karna consumed alcohol before or during his fight with Gandharvas hence Karnandus should be able to prove something before blabbering nonsense

Conclusion:- Hence, by analyzing the whole incident it's clear that Karna wasn't competent to fight an army of celestial creatures that's why he fled away from the battlefield

Why Pandavas Couldn't Save Draupadi In The Dice Hall?

It's time to expose the Karnandus by decoding the actual reason of Pandavas not saving Draupadi at the dice hall. 

First of all, Bhima was angry at Yudhisthira for staking Draupadi and tried to burn the hands of his eldest brother there but Arjuna stopped him as crossing elder's brother was against Dharma

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 61, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

But I think you committed a most improper act in staking Droupadi. She did not deserve this. After obtaining the Pandavas, this maiden is suffering this despicable and cruel oppression from the Kouravas only because of your act. O king! It is because of her that my anger descends on you. I will burn your hands. O Sahadeva! Bring the fire.” 

‘Arjuna said, “O Bhimasena! Never before have you uttered words like these. The cruel enemies have destroyed your pride in dharma. You should not make the desires of the enemy come true. Observe the supreme dharma. According to dharma, one should never cross one’s

elder brother. The king was challenged and he followed the dharma of the kshatriyas. He gambled because of the desires of the enemy. That is our great deed.”

Now coming to the main point, here are some proofs which will give the answer regarding this topic

1) Here Yudhisthira say that he tolerated Draupadi's insult because he didn't want to see the slaughter of Kauravas

 Udhyoga Parva, Chapter No. 31, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘“Then you should repeatedly speak to the intolerant Prince Suyodhana, entreating him when he is seated in the midst of the Kurus. When Krishna was brought alone into the assembly hall, evil was done towards her. But we ignored it patiently, so that the Kurus might not be slaughtered. The Pandavas have borne hardships earlier and will do so again, though

they are stronger now. All the Kurus know this. ‘O peaceful one! You sent us into exile, with deerskin as our garments. We bore those miseries, so that the Kurus might not be slaughtered.

Note :- In reality,it was Yudhisthira who tolerated Draupadi's insult for this reason which is mentioned above but other pandavas were ready to do battle with Kauravas in dice hall which will be proven in other slides

2) Vidura says that Yudhisthira has undergone many hardships because he was a follower of non-violence and used to respect Dhristrastra so it is clear that Yudhisthira didn't want any war even in his difficult period

Udhyog Parva, Chapter No. 34, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 O Indra among kings! He is supreme among those who uphold dharma and because of his compassion and non-violence, and because of his respect towards you, he has undergone

many hardships.”’

3) Here Bhima says that other Pandavas are obedient to Yudhisthira, that's the reason they tolerated the acts of Kauravas as they couldn't kill them until Yudhisthira orders them to do that

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 34, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Protected by the wielder of the

Gandiva, our kingdom could not even have been robbed by Shakra. But because of our obedience to you, it was stolen in front of our eyes. While we were still alive, our riches were taken away from us because of you, like bilva fruit or cattle from those who are crippled. O descendant of the Bharata lineage! You are always firm in desiring dharma. But it is because

we sought to do what is pleasing to you, that we now face this great calamity. O bull among the Bharata lineage! It was because our selves were under your control that we are now ploughing our friends and providing delight to our enemies. It was our stupidity that we did

not kill the sons of Dhritarashtra. But because we followed your commands, that evil deed is now tormenting us. O king! Look at you, living in a home meant for animals. This is the act of a coward, not one served by the strong. This is not approved by Krishna, or Bibhatsu, or

Abhimanyu, or Srinjaya, or I myself, or the two sons of Madri.

4) Bhima again says that other Pandavas didn't kill Kauravas because of Yudhisthira as we saw in one of previous slides where Yudhisthira said that he didn't want to see the death of Kauravas that's the reason, he tolerated Draupadi's insult.

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 173, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Once, Vayu’s intrepid son was seated near the king, together with Jishnu and the twins, the equals of the king of the gods. In private, he gently spoke these beneficial words. “O king of the Kurus! In order to ensure that your oath remained true and to do that which would make you happy, we followed you into the forest and did not kill Suyodhana, together with his followers. We have lived here for eleven years. We are deserving of happiness, but

Suyodhana has grasped that happiness. 

Conclusion:- Bhima and Arjuna could do nothing there to save Draupadi as they were bound down by the noose of Dharma. Even Karna himself said it in Virat war when he was about to fight with Arjuna.

Virata Parva, Chapter No. 55, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

If your rage was restrained earlier because you were bound down by the noose of dharma, you are tied down even now, though you consider yourself to be free. You say that you are conversant with

dharma and artha

Did Arjuna Really Break The Rule Of Exile By Going Swarga For 5 Years ?

Well Karna fans say that Arjuna break the rule of exile as Arjuna had went to Swarga to learn divine weapons from all the gods for 5 years during the exile but the truth is that Arjuna didn't break any rule in that case. No doubt Karna fans are stupid just like their idol, they never read epic properly. Actually the exile was only for Yudhisthira. Other Pandavas just followed him out of love for his eldest brother. See some proofs regarding it in the next slides

1). Shakuni says that if Yudhisthira faces defeat in dice game then he (Yudhisthira) will have to go exile along with Draupadi. Nowhere he included the names of other Pandavas in stake and this proof is from the actual event then it is clear that the exile was only for the eldest Pandava

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 67, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

‘Shakuni said, “O bull among the Bharata lineage! The old one returned all your riches and I worship him for that. But listen to me, because there is one more stake with great riches. If

we are defeated by you in gambling, we will enter the great forest for twelve years. We will wear the skins of ruru deer and spend a thirteenth year in disguise, but in inhabited places. If recognized, we will return to the forest for another twelve years. But if you are defeated by

us, together with Krishna, you will live in the forest for twelve years, clad in deerskin. When the thirteenth year is over, as is proper, each will obtain his own kingdom back. O Yudhishthira! O descendant of the Bharata lineage! With this stake, let us ready the dice and

play another gamble with us.”

Although the later event does not matter in Mahabharata, still there are some cross references from the later event, they also says the samething, have a look on those cross references

A) Here Bhima says that other Pandavas followed him just to make Yudhisthira's oath truth

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 173, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Once, Vayu’s intrepid son was seated near the king, together with Jishnu and the twins, the equals of the king of the gods. In private, he gently spoke these beneficial words. “O king of the Kurus! In order to ensure that your oath remained true and to do that which would make you happy, we followed you into the forest and did not kill Suyodhana, together with his followers. We have lived here for eleven years. We are deserving of happiness, but

Suyodhana has grasped that happiness. 

B). Dhristrashtra says that other Pandavas left for the forest because of their love for Yudhishthira not because of any kind of commitment, promise or rule.

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 01, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘“O Sanjaya! I had no hope of victory when I heard that the grieving and righteous Pandava brothers left for the forest, suffering out of love for the eldest.

Since the three evidences are sufficient enough to prove that the exile was not for Arjuna, thus he went to exile just for his eldest brother hence he didn't break any rule by going Swarga.

Arjuna - The Chief Justice of Hastinapur

Another unknown but awesome fact of Mahabharata is Arjuna had great potential of fairly judging people that's why he was appointed as the Chief Justice of Hastinapur by Yudhishthira after Kuru War.

Yudhishthira, the great king, instructed that Phalguna should

Arjuna - One Of The Greatest Economists Of Mahabharata

Well while thinking about Economics and Economists the names comes to people's mind are mostly of Kaliyuga's people because most of the people don't know that great economists existed before Kaliyuga also and one such economist is none other than the greatest warrior of Mahabharata Arjuna ! Yes Arjuna wasn't only the greatest archer but also one of the greatest economists and capitalists of Mahabharata. Mahabharata is filled with statements of Arjuna and other people which reflected the knowledge of Arjuna regarding economics and his approach towards economy. Here are those statements 

1). Arjuna emphasized on the importance of Agriculture, trade, animal husbandry and other industries for the growth and development of economy. He also explained the importance of Artha

Shanti Parva, Chapter No.161, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

‘When he stopped, the attentive Partha, who knew the true words about artha, spoke. “O king! This world is the arena of action and such conduct is praised—agriculture, trade, animal husbandry and

many kinds of artisanship. Among all these tasks, there is nothing that transcends the need for artha. The sacred texts have said that without artha, dharma and kama cannot occur. A victorious person obtains artha and can pursue supreme dharma. He is capable of following kama, which is difficult for

those with unclean souls to pursue. The sacred texts say that dharma and kama take the form of artha. These two can be attained through the successful acquisition of artha. Those who have been born in superior lineages surround the man who possesses artha, just as the beings always worship Brahma.

2). While explaining the importance of Artha, Arjuna beautifully emphasized on employee management ( No doubt Arjuna had great knowledge of HR Management also ) 

Shanti Parva, Chapter No. 161, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

A person who possesses artha can maintain his servants in pleasure and exert the rod against his enemies. O best among intelligent ones! That is the

reason my view is accurate.

3) According to Arjuna, nothing in the world was superior to wealth 

Shanti Parva, Chapter No. 20, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

Devasthana spoke appropriate words in reply to Yudhishthira. “Phalguna spoke words to the effect that there is nothing superior to wealth. Listen attentively as I explain this to you. O Ajatashatru! You

have conquered the entire earth through dharma

4). According to Arjuna, accumulation of wealth was done by learned ones 

Shanti Parva, Chapter No. 8, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

The learned ones have said that one must study the three kinds of knowledge and always make efforts to accumulate wealth and perform sacrifices.

5). Arjuna hated poverty the most and he explained like an intelligent Capitalist that why being rich is very important in the world 

Shanti Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O king! Who amongst us will pardon an act of our riches being robbed? If a poor person stands next to one’s own self, that poor person is abused. Poverty

causes degradation in this world and you should not praise it. O king! One who is degraded sorrows. One who is poor sorrows. I cannot see any difference between one who is degraded and one who is poor. Here and there, all the rites are extended and accumulated through wealth, like streams flowing

down mountains. O lord of men! Dharma, kama and heaven result from artha. Without artha, the world will not be able to sustain its life. Like an inferior river during the summer, all the rites of a person with limited intelligence are destroyed in the absence of wealth. One who possesses riches possesses friends. One who possesses riches possesses relatives. One who possesses riches is a man

in this world. One who possesses riches is learned. A person who doesn’t possess riches is incapable of obtaining riches only by desiring it. Riches follow riches, like elephants follow mighty elephants. O lord of men! Dharma, kama, heaven, delight, anger, learning, self-control—all of these

result from artha. The lineage is extended because of artha. Dharma is spread because of riches

6). One of the names of Arjuna was Dhananjaya because he had obtained the wealth of all the countries

Virata Parva, Chapter No.39, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Arjuna replied, “I have conquered all the countries and obtained all their wealth. I stand in

the midst of riches. That is the reason I am known as Dhananjaya.

 So by reading all the references provided here, it can be safely concluded that India has not only the first scientists, engineers and doctors but also the first economists and capitalists of the world. Arjuna was one of the greatest economists and capitalists of Mahabharata.

Was Arjuna Son Of The Asura(demon) Indra ?

Bhutta fans always target Shri Indra and want to defame him unnecessary, but Arjuna fans never target Shri Surya, so you can understand  the difference here between both the communities. Anyways, one of their claims is that Arjuna's father (Shri Indra) was an Asura hence Arjuna was a son of Asura. ROFL They use hymn of Rigveda to make their claim as Shri Indra is reffered as an asura in the Vedas. 

First of all, see the hymn which they use like morons without knowing it's real meaning

Rigveda, Mandala-01, Sukta-174

1. THOU art the King of all the Gods, O Indra: protect the men, O Asura, preserve us.

Thou Lord of Heroes, Maghavan, our saver, art faithful, very rich, the victory-giver.

No doubt, Shri Indra is reffered as an Asura in the mantra mentioned above but here Asura doesn't mean demon. In the vedas, Asura means mighty, powerful e.t.c

Many gods are reffered as an Asura in the vedas, now if we take the logic of Leftist Karnandus then all gods were demon. Lol

Here even Mahadeva Shiva is reffered as an Asura in the rigveda

Rigveda, Mandala-05, Sukta-42

11 Praise him whose bow is strong and sure his arrow, him who is Lord of every balm that bealeth.

Worship thou Rudra for his great good favour: adore the Asura, God, with salutations.

Now Nangus will call Mahadeva Shiva a demon ? 

Here Shri Surya was also reffered as an Asura.

Rigveda, Mandala-01, Sukta-35

7 He, strong of wing, hath lightened up the regions, deep-quivering Asura, the gentle Leader.

Where now is Sūrya, where is one to tell us to what celestial sphere his ray hath wandered ?

So now dear Manuvirodhi Karnandus needs to understand the pathetic failure of their logic and propaganda because in Vedas not only Shri Indra but Mahadeva Shiva and Shri Surya were also called Asura but that doesn't mean that they were demons.

MOLESTATION OF DRAUPADI BY KARNA IN DICE HALL

It's time to expose the uncivilized and misogynistic attitude of Karna by highlighting the molestation of Draupadi again 

1) DUHSHASANA REPEATEDLY CALLED DRAUPADI A SLAVE AND KARNA APPROVED HIS WORDS BY LAUGHING

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 60, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

On seeing Krishna look at her miserable husbands, Duhshasana dragged her with even greater force, so that she almost lost her senses. He repeatedly called her “slave” and laughed uproariously. Karna was delighted at these words and approved of them by laughing out loudly

2) KARNA CALLED DRAUPADI A COURTESAN , IT IS ALSO A REPLY TO ALL THOSE KARNA BHAKTAS WHO WHINE THAT KARNA CALLED HER AN UNCASTE, NOT COURTESAN.

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 61, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

If you think that bringing her into the sabha when she is clad in only a single garment is against dharma, listen to the words I have to say in response. O descendant of the Kuru lineage! It has been ordained by the gods that a

woman should only have one husband. However, she submits to many and it is therefore certain that she is a courtesan. 

3) For Karna, harming the dignity of Draupadi by bringing her in Sabha even if she was in single garment or completely naked wasn't surprising at all 

 Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 61, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

It is my view that there is nothing surprising in her being brought into the sabha in a single garment, or even if she is naked

4) According to Karna, a women as well as a slave had no right over property, Anyways here he tried to say/prove that Draupadi don't have any right so Yudhisthira lost her fairly hence harrasing her in sabha is completely right

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 63, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 ‘Karna said, “There are three who can own no property—a slave, a student and a woman. O fortunate one! You are the wife of a slave and have nothing of your own

5) Karna harrased Draupadi by calling Kauravas her masters and asking her to choose another husband and here he also said that sexual acts with a female slave are never censured, now you can easily understand what he wanted from Draupadi. Actually a wretch like him(Karna) has never ever been born on earth 😠

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 63, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O Princess! All the sons of Dhritarashtra are now your masters and not the sons of

Pritha. O beautiful one! Choose another one for your husband, one who will not make you a slave through gambling. Remember the eternal rule among slaves. Sexual acts with one’s masters are never censured.

6). Karna ordered the disrobing of Draupadi ( Although no one discriminated this wretch(Karna) in reality but it could have been completely fair to discriminate this wretch in everything 😡) 

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 61, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

This Vikarna is only a child, though he speaks words of wisdom. Strip away the garments from the Pandavas and Droupadi.

Misconception :- Karna Countered The Brahmastra Of Arjuna Using Ordinary Arrows

It is a big lie created by Leftist Karna fans. Bhutta didn't possess skills to counter divine weapons by using ordinary arrows. I will break that narrative into many parts to analyze the incident in next slides, which Karna fans use to make their funny claim. 

> Here Arjuna invoked Brahmastra using his mind

 Karna Parva, Chapter No. 65, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Having said this, he invoked the invincible brahmastra in his mind, in accordance with the

prescribed rites. 

> All the arrows which were released from Arjuna's Brahmastra covered all the directions.

All the directions and sub-directions were covered by extremely energetic arrows. O

bull among the Bharata lineage! Many hundreds of swift arrows were released from it. 

> Here Karna also created many arrows. And Karna's arrows descended on Pandava. Now here is a twist. These arrows were for Arjuna, not for his Brahmastra as it is clearly written that these descended on Arjuna. Nowhere it's written that these arrows clashed with Arjuna's Brahmastra or were for his Brahmastra or used against Arjuna's Brahmastra

In the midst of this, Vaikartana also created many thousands of arrows. These descended on Pandava with a large

roar, like showers of rain released from a cloud.

> As we see that there isn't a single line which proves that Karna countered Arjuna's Brahmastra with ordinary arrows. We are neither agreeing nor disagreeing on whether Arjuna's Brahmastra was countered or not, as it's a different topic but obviously Nangu fans don't have the right to claim without proofs that their idol countered it with ordinary arrows.

Exposing an excuse made by Bhutta fans

Excuse :- Lord Indra used Vajra weapon against the two Krishnas but nowhere written that the two Krishna countered Indra's Vajra, it doesn't mean that they didn't counter it

Disrobing :- Bhutta fans should learn to give correct example before crying on any topic. The weapons were countered or not, that's a different thing but how those divine weapons were pacified is a different thing. Just like we can't claim without proofs that the two Krishna countered Indra's Vajra with ordinary arrows, similarly we can't claim without proofs that Bhutta countered Arjuna's brahmastra with ordinary arrows

Is there any warrior who knew to counter divine weapon with ordinary arrows ? 

Yes it was Arjuna who possessed this skill very well. On 12th day of Kuru war, he countered Karna's Agneyastra just by using ordinary arrows

Drona Parva, Chapter No.31, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Adhiratha’s son assured them that they need not be frightened and advanced in Arjuna’s direction. He was foremost among all the Bharata rathas and was the one who brought delight to all the Bharatas. He was supreme among those who knew about weapons and he invoked the agneya weapon. A mass of blazing arrows was released by the one who wielded a blazing bow. But Dhananjaya repulsed that mass of arrows with his net of arrows. Weapon was countered by weapon and these arrows preserved life.

ARJUNA'S DEFEAT WASN'T ONLY IMPOSSIBLE BUT ALSO AGAINST THE NATURE

Arjuna's defeat wasn't possible in battle by any means. No one could have defeated him as his defeat was against the nature in Mahabharata. And we all know that the things which are against the nature don't occur at all. There are many examples in epic regarding it. I will post some narratives to prove that Arjuna's defeat was against the nature.

1) Saindhava warriors made Arjuna unconscious that time, when Arjuna wasn't fighting. After that we see that the entire universe failed to digest it and started to act negatively.

Ashwmedhika Parva, Chapter No. 76, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

On seeing that Kounteya was afflicted by those arrows, sounds of lamentation arose in the three worlds and the rays of the sun were covered in dust. O great king! A wind that made the body hair stand up began to blow. It was as if Rahu had simultaneously devoured the sun and the moon. From every direction, meteors fell into the sun and were scattered around. O

king! Kailasa, the giant mountain, began to tremble. Overcome by sorrow and grief, the saptarshis and the devarshis were struck by fear and released warm sighs of fright. The moon was swiftly

pierced and they fell down on the lunar disc. O king! All these perverse portents were witnessed. Clouds that were as red as donkeys covered the sky. They were tinged with bows and lightning and

showered down flesh and blood. 

Note :- Now some morons can cry that the nature acted negatively after Karna's death too. Yes I accept it but that don't proves anything otherwise the nature would have acted even before his death.

2) Here also, the universe (Mobile& immobile) started to lament when Arjuna was shrouded by the arrows of Ashwatthama 

Karna Parva, Chapter No.40, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O great king! The arrows released by Drona’s son descended in all the directions. They enveloped Krishna and Dhananjaya, who were stationed on the chariot. Bharadvaja’s powerful descendant released hundreds of sharp arrows and in that battle, immobilized Madhava and Pandava. On seeing that the protectors of the mobile and the immobile were thus shrouded by arrows, lamentations arose everywhere, amidst the mobile and the immobile. Large numbers of siddhas and charanas assembled there from every

direction and began to reflect about the welfare of the worlds. 

3) Even Shri Krishna said that the death of Arjuna isn't possible at all, and if it occurs then the world will be destroyed

 Karna Parva, Chapter No.63, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Krishna laughed and spoke these supreme words to Partha. ‘The sun may fall down from its place. The earth may shatter into many fragments. The fire may become cold. But Karna will not be able to kill Dhananjaya. However, if this does happen, the world will be destroyed. Using my arms in the battle, I will kill Karna and Shalya.

So after reading all the proofs it can be safely concluded that Arjuna's defeat was impossible and against the nature in Mahabharata

DIVINE STATUS OF ARJUNA IN MAHABHARATA

Well, I am not agreeing that whether Arjuna is a god or not but I am just unfolding the divinity of Arjuna mentioned and explained in Mahabharata because layman must know the difference between the status of divine main character Arjuna of Mahabharata and the status of ordinary supporting characters of Mahabharata. I am agreeing on the part that Arjuna was a mortal but his treatment as a divine person in Mahabharata should be brought in front of people

Now let's see some references from the next slide which proves the status of Arjuna in Mahabharata to be that of a very divine person 

1)  Arjuna was born in his human form because of his own wish as per the narrative

Udhyoga Parva, Chapter No. 66, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Sanjaya said, “Arjuna and Vasudeva are supremely honoured archers. They have everything in them and have been born in this way because of their own wishes

2) Arjuna was in the form of a human thats the reason he didn't use his divine mind to destroy his enemies as per the narrative

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 10, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Earlier, those great-souled ones were

the gods Nara and Narayana. They were a single soul and are seen by men on earth as divided into two. They are famous and invincible. If they wish, they can destroy the army with their minds. But because they are humans, they do not wish that.

3) Agneya asta (A higher version of Agneyastra), an irresistible weapon was released by Ashvatthama but this weapon failed to give a single scratch to the two Krishnas and it was completely a mysterious and unnatural event because a mortal couldn't survive it by any means but Arjuna easily survived. Now it itself proves that how divine was Arjuna 

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 172, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He honoured him and spoke these words. ‘O honoured one! Is this maya? Is this a wish? I do not know what has happened. Why have my weapons become

fruitless? What have I contravened? This is completely unnatural and is like a defeat of the worlds by the two Krishnas, who remain alive. It is impossible to cross destiny. This weapon that has been used by me cannot be countered by asuras, gandharvas, pishachas, rakshasas,

serpents, yakshas, birds and men. But having killed only one akshouhini, this flaming weapon used by me has been calmed. Keshava and Arjuna are mortal. Why have they not been killed

by it? O illustrious one! I am asking you. Give me the complete answer.’

4) Narayana Astra used to become more effective when someone raise weapons against it but when Arjuna used Varuna weapon against Narayana astra to save Bhima, surprisingly Narayana astra didn't give a single scratch to him. Moreover here it is written that Arjuna and Shri Krishna had resorted their maya (their divinity) while trying to save Bhima.

 Drona Parva, Chapter No. 171, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘“On seeing all this, the brave and immensely radiant Arjuna and Vasudeva quickly descended from their chariot and dashed towards Bhima. There was an energy created from the strength of the weapon of Drona’s son. Those two immensely strong ones resorted to their

power of maya and immersed themselves in it. Because they had cast aside their weapons, because of the use of the varuna weapon and because of their own energy, those two Krishnas were not burnt by the fire of that weapon

5) Mahadeva Shiva and Shri Brahma vividly described the divinity of Arjuna in Karna parva. They even said that Arjuna is the creator of universe along with Shri Krishna and controls everything. Must read the beautiful narrative mentioned below. 

Karna Parva, Chapter No. 63, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He is spirited, powerful and brave. He is skilled in the use of weapons

and is rich in austerities. Great energy is manifested in him, especially in dhanurveda. Through his greatness, he is capable of overcoming destiny. He is capable of controlling and overcoming the

worlds. When the two Krishnas are angered, no one is capable of standing before them. Those two bulls among men are truly the creators of the universe. They are the ancient and supreme rishis Nara

and Narayana. Those two scorchers of enemies control everything and cannot be controlled by

anyone.

6) Here Shri Vyasa called Arjuna an everlasting god

 Vana Parva, Chapter No. 37, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Because of his austerities and valour, he has the power to see the gods. He is an immensely energetic rishi. He is the ancient, eternal and everlasting god who is Narayana’s companion and a part of Vishnu.

7) Here Mahadeva Shiva said in Vana Parva that there is supreme energy which exists in Arjuna, like that in Shri Vishnu. And the universe is held up through the energy of two Krishnas.

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 41, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 ‘The illustrious god said, “You were Nara in an earlier body, the companion of Narayana. You spent many ayuta years in fearful austerities in Badari. There is supreme energy in you, like that in Vishnu, supreme among men. The universe is held up through the energy of the two of you, foremost among men. 

8) Here it is written that Arjuna could raise the Earth on his arms

 Udhyoga Parva, Chapter No. 58, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He can raise the earth with his arms. He can angrily burn down these beings. He can dislodge the thirty gods from heaven. Who can defeat Arjuna in battle?

Among the gods, asuras, men, yakshas, gandharvas and serpents, I do not see anyone who is capable of withstanding the Pandava in battle.

9). Here the great ancestors of Shri Parshurama not only called Arjuna an ancient and eternal god but also referred him as Prajapati

Udhyoga Parva, Chapter No. 186, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Arjuna is foremost among the Pandavas. He is Purandara’s powerful son. He is the brave Nara Prajapati, the ancient and

eternal god. He is famous in the three worlds as the valiant Savyasachi. 

10). Arjuna deserved the worship of all the gods, humans and demons as per the akashvaani

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 219, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

They are the gods Nara and Narayana, famous in heaven. You yourself know their bravery and their valour. These two supreme and ancient sages are invincible in battle and cannot be conquered in any of the worlds. They deserve the worship of all the gods, asuras, yakshas, rakshas, gandharvas, humans, kinnaras50 and serpents.

Now you can understand easily that why there are so many fictional stories are created on some overrated characters to glorify them by some frustrated jerks because whenever they read Mahabharata they fails to digest Arjuna's divine status in epic. And now after reading all the references we can safely conclude that it's a big insult to the Sanskrit Poetry Mahabharata to treat Arjuna's status equal or interior to those characters whose relatives names  are not even mentioned in the epic

Arjuna - The Best Student And Great Teacher As Well

Students of Arjuna who made him a proud preceptor :- 

1). Pradyumna, Samba and Satyaki 

Sabha Parva, Chapter No.  4, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O king! There were all the immensely powerful princes of the Vrishnis who had

learnt the science of archery from Arjuna and were dressed in deer and antelope hides and other princes who had been similarly taught—Rukmini son, and Samba and Yuyudhana

Satyaki.

2). Abhimanyu 

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 213, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

That vanquisher of enemies learned all the vedas from Arjuna, with the four divisions and the ten branches, and the art of archery, everything known to man and god. That extremely powerful one became

skilled in the science of all weapons. He learnt all the special acts of handling weapons. In acquisition, use and in circular motions, Dhananjaya was pleased that his son Soubhadra became his equal.

3). Upa Pandavas 

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 213, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

After having studied the vedas, these observers of rigid vows learnt the use of all weapons, human and divine, from Arjuna.

As we all can see how much helpful Arjuna was to the society as he not only served Dharma after becoming the greatest warrior and best student of his preceptors but he also taught and trained the upcoming generation of Pandavas and Yadavas unlike Karna whose preceptor was never  proud on Karna and who was never worthy to be a preceptor of even a footsoldier leave alone great warriors like Pradyumna, Samba, Satyaki, Abhimanyu and Upa Pandavas 🤣🤣🤣🤣

MISCONCEPTION :- KARNA DID NOT FAIL IN DRAUPADI SWAYMVARA

Bhutta fans does not dare  to accept Karna's failure in Draupadi Swyamwara. May be they don't want to digest the truth thats the reason they are living in a delusion but let's show the truth them.

FIRST OF ALL, WE WILL SEE KARNA'S FAILURE IN DRAUPADI SWAYAMVARA FROM BORI CE THEN WILL DEBUNK THEIR EXCUSES.

Dhrishtadyumna says that Karna will participate in contest for Draupadi's hand👇

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 177, Mahabharata CE from BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Dhrishtadyumna said, “Duryodhana, Durvisaha, Durmukha, Dushpradharshana, Vivimshati, Vikarna, Saha, Duhshasana, Sama, Yuyutsu, Vatavega, Bhimavegadhara, Ugrayudha, Balaki,Kanakayu, Virochana, Sukundula, Chitrasena, Suvarcha, Kanakadhvaja, Nandaka, Bahushali, Kunduja and Vikata—these and others are the immensely powerful sons of Dhritarashtra.

These warriors have come with Karna for your hand.

Vaishampayana mentioned that all the kings failed in task👇

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 179, Mahabharata CE from BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Vaishampayana said, ‘When all the kings gave up attempting to string the bow, the great souled Jishnu arose from among the Brahmanas.

Now if Bhutta fans say that according to the above narrative, Karna did not fail then they must have to accept that no  prominent warrior was defeated by Karna in Swayamvara of Duryodhana's wife as there is also not written clearly that Rukmi, Jarashanda and Shishupala had attacked Karna.

Now see another proof from the actual event said by the Brahmanas which clearly mentioned Karna's failure in Swaymwara.

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 179, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O Brahmanas! If Kshtriyas like Karna and Shalya, who are famous in the world, have great strength and are well versed in Dhanur Veda, could not string the bow, how can this weakling Brahmana, with no knowledge of weapons, succeed?

Points to be noted:- 

The only Karna, who had great strength and was well versed in Dhanurveda was Radha's son (Karna) in the entire Mahabharat. Plus, no other Karna was present in Swyamwara other than this Radheya Karna so it is as clear as water that it was Radheya Karna who failed. If there was another Karna who was present in Swyamvara and he had great strength and was expert in archery then first our Bhuttas needs to show the proof other Karnas of Mahabharata being well versed in Dhanurveda, having great strength and being famous in the world along with being present in Draupadi's Swayamvara. 

Excuse No. 1 :-  DHRISHTADYUMNA SAID THAT THE ONE WHO IS BORN IN NOBLE FAMILY WILL OBTAIN DRAUPADI AFTER ACHIEVING THE TASK. 

Disrobing :- Well whether Karna's foster family was noble or not is not mentioned anywhere in the entire Mahabharata then I don't understand that why they are raising this point when there is nothing written about it. Btw if Adhiratha and his family were not noble then how he (Adhiratha) became a friend of King Dhristrastra ? Had Dhristrastra made a friendship with a wretch family ? 

Let's keep aside all the above explanation. Most important thing is that Rules and regulation were not followed in Swayamwara, which will be discussed later.

Excuse No. 2 :- RADHEYA KARNA WAS A SUTA BUT IT WAS KSHATRIYA KARNA WHO FAILED.

Disrobing :-  Well we have already discussed that only Radheya Karna was present there among all Karnas hence it is really a laughable claim that another Karna failed. Also it doesn't matter, which castes someome belongs to. If someone is devoted to the dharma of another Varna then he can be reffered as that Varna. For eg- Ashwatthama and Drona belong to Brahmana cast but have been reffered as Kshatriyas in Chakravyuha. Similarly Karna was a suta and has been reffered as Kshatriya. See the evidance below

 Drona Parva, Chapter No. 45, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

On seeing that Lakshmana had been slain, the people let out sounds of woe and lamentation. When his beloved son was brought down, Duryodhana was enraged. The bull among the kshatriyas loudly urged the Kshatriyas to kill him. Six rathas surrounded him—Drona, Kripa, Karna,

Drona’s son, Brihadbala and Kritavarma, Hridika’s son.

Let's see one more proof where all the warriors who fought in Kurukshetra War were regarded as Kshatriyas

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 01, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘“Alas! I have heard that only ten people have survived this difficult war, three on our side and seven on the side of the Pandavas. In that fearful war of Kshatriyas, eighteen armies

have been slain. I see extended and extreme darkness all around me. Delusion overcomes me. O Suta! Consciousness is leaving me, my mind is delirious.”

Moreover when Bhima was telling in Rangbhumi that Karna didn't deserve to fight with Arjuna. At that time Duryodhana defends Karna and say that even the most inferior among Kshatriyas deserved to be fought with. then it is clear that here Duryodhan tried to say that Karna also belongs to Kshatriya class hence deserves to fight with Arjuna. Also you can see below that the word " warrior" have been used as a synonym of Kshatriya by Duryodhana. And we all know that Karna was a warrior(Kshatriya).

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 127, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

“O Vrikodara! You should not speak these words. Strength is the most important virtue of Kshatriyas and even the most inferior of Kshatriyas deserves to be fought with. The sources of warriors and rivers are both the same; they are always unknown.

In Mahabharat, even the word "King" was a synonym of Kshatriya👇 and we all know that Karna was a king too so there is nothing surprising even if someone reffered Karna a Kshatriya.

 Anushasana Parva, Chapter No. 49,  Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Bhishma replied, “O Yudhishthira! O descendant of the Bharata lineage! The sons that a brahmana obtains through the three lower varnas, the sons that a king obtains through the two lower varnas and

the sons that a vaishya obtains through the lower varna are understood to be apadhvamsajas.

Excuse No. 3 :- THE LINE "KARNA ACCOMPANYING DURYODHANA" PROVES THAT KARNA WENT THERE JUST TO HELP DURYODHANA, NOT FOR HIMSELF.

Disrobing :- Here are some examples of people who are accompanying are also participating in the objective

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 2 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy)

‘Then follows the fifteenth Ashramavasika Parva. In this, abdicating the kingdom, King Dhritarashtra, accompanied by Gandhari and Vidura, retire to the forest. 

‘Then follows the seventeenth Mahaprasthanika Parva. There, the Pandavas, bulls among men, accompanied by the divine Droupadi, gave up their kingdom and left for their great

journey.

According to the above narrative, Dhritarashtra gave up his kingdom and left for retirement accompanied by Gandhari and Vidura and in Ashramavasika Parva, Gandhari and Vidura also retires to the forest hence fulfils the same objective.

Similarly the narrative also mentions Pandavas accompanied by Draupadi for their retirement and in Mahaprasthanika Parva, Draupadi really retires with the Pandavas.

Hence, in Draupadi's Swayamvar Karna accompanied Kauravas and fulfilled the objective of participating in the swayamvar.

Excuse No. 4 :- THE NARRATIVE MENTIONED BELOW PROVES THAT ONLY NOBLE KINGS HAD PARTICIPATED IN THE SWYAMWARA

 Adi Parva, Chapter No. 178, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

In that assembly, those kings who boasted of noble birth then became objects of derision

Disrobing :- No where the above narrative proves that only noble kings participated. It just says that those kings who were boasting about their noble lineage became object of derision. In other words,  among all participants those who were boasting about their lineage became objects of derision.

Excuse No. 5 :- RULES AND REGULATION WERE FOLLOWED IN DRAUPADI SWYAMWARA 

Disrobing :- Although it is an irrelevant excuse and doesn't matter at all as no one will be able to prove even in his/her dream that Karna couldn't participate in Swyamvara, however just for information we can see that rules and regulation were not following there, see the narrative mentioned below👇

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 180, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

The sacred texts clearly say that a svayamvara is for Kshatriyas; Brahmanas have no right in the choice of a husband.

Here it is mentioned that a swaymwara is for Kshatriyas and the Brahmanas don't have right to participate in it but we see that Arjuna had participated in the task and no one had stopped him before winning the contest , it proves that the rules and regulations were not being followed in Draupadi Swaymvara and everyone was allowed without any restriction.

King Drupada also said that who won his Daughter, was he a Shudra, Vaishya, Kshatriya or Brahmana. It again proves that there was no restriction in Swaymvara and anyone could participate

 Adi Parva, Chapter No. 184, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

King Drupada to Dhrishtaduymna:-

The great-souled one asked Dhrishtadyumna, “Where has Krishna gone? Who has taken her away? Is it a Shudra or one of low birth? Has a Vaishya who pays taxes placed his feet on my head ? Has a garland been thrown away on a cremation ground ? O son ! Or is it a foremost man from our own varna, or is it one from a higher varna? Or has a lower being placed his foot on my head and defiled Krishna ?

Yudhishthira also mentioned before Drupada's purohits that no personal questions can be asked about the winner, not even about his lineage.

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 185, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Yudhishthira then spoke to the Brahmana. “The king of Panchala gave his daughter away according to his wishes and according to his own dharma. He set a price and this brave one has won her in accordance with that. Therefore, no questions can be asked about his varna, action, intention, means of living, lineage or gotra. All those questions have been answered by the act of stringing the bow and striking the target. 

Conclusion :- Yes It was Kshatriya Karna aka King Karna aka Radheya Karna aka Suta Karna who failed in Draupadi's Svyamwara.

TEACHERS OF ARJUNA

According to our Sanatana Dharma, Gurus play a vital role in the construction of  not only the health, wealth and character  but also in the construction of capacity, ability and capability of their Shishyas. On this Teachers Day, we are going to mention those Gurus who played the vital role in the construction of capacity, ability, capability, health, wealth and character of the most mentioned character of Mahabharata Narottam Arjuna

1) GURU DRONA

 Adi Parva, Chapter No. 123, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Vaishampayana said, ‘Arjuna took a great deal of care in worshipping his preceptor and showed the greatest devotion in learning the art of weapons. He became a great favourite of

Drona’s. 

2) GURU KRIPA

Adi Parva, Chapter No. 120, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He soon became a great teacher. All the

maharathas learnt Dhanur Veda from him. This included Dhritarashtra’s sons, the immensely powerful Pandavas, the Vrishnis and other kings who assembled from many countries.’

3) SHRI MAHADEVA SHIVA

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 161, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

my concentration.

4) CHITRASENA GANDHARVA

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 89, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

He has learnt from Vishvavasu’s son

singing, dancing, the chanting of

samas and the playing of musical instruments, as is prescribed, according to the rules and according to the norms for learning. Thus Kounteya has become skilled in weapons and has

learnt gandharva veda

5) SHRI KRISHNA

 Bhishma Parva, Chapter No. 24, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 My normal nature has been overtaken by a sense of helplessness. Confused about what is dharma, I am asking you. Tell me that which is decidedly best for me. I am your disciple. I have sought refuge in you. Instruct me. This grief is exploiting my senses and I don’t see what will remedy that, even if I win lordship over

the gods, or this earth, without any enemies and prosperous.’”

Bhishma Parva, Chapter No. 103, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Your brother is my friend, relative and disciple. O lord of the earth! For Arjuna’s sake, I can slice off and give my own flesh. This tiger among men will also lay down his life for my sake. O father! This is our understanding, that we will protect each other. 

6) YUDHISHTHIRA 

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 254, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He is Yudhishthira’s brother and disciple. His name is Dhananjaya and he is

you were an eternal god. In an

earlier era, your endeavours were always at our side. Accept this favourite weapon of mine, known as antardhana. It is energetic, vigorous and resplendent. O destroyer of enemies! It can put the enemy to sleep.” Then the mighty-armed Arjuna, descendant of the Kuru lineage, accepted Kubera’s divine weapon in accordance with the rites

11) RISHI DHOUMYA

 Adi Parva, Chapter No. 174, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

With their mother constituting the sixth person of the group, those bulls of the Bharata lineage considered themselves well protected, now that they had a preceptor. For the noble preceptor knew the subtle nuances of the Vedas well.

He made the virtuous sons of Pritha his disciples in learning all the knowledge.

12) GANDHARVA TUMBURU

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 44, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 He affixed the gandharva weapon and its powers of maya. After tormenting himself

with austerities, Arjuna had obtained it from gandharvas, Tumburu being the foremost.

13) SHRI BRAHMA

Virata Parva, Chapter No. 56, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

ARJUNA :- A KATTAR BHAKTA OF SHRI MAHADEVA

Arjuna was one of the greatest devotees of Mahadeva Shiva ever born on earth. Although it is not written clearly in Mahabharata but if we deeply observe the entire Mahabharata and read the story of Nara and Narayana then it can be clearly concluded which I said above. Let's see some narratives from Mahabharata which talks about Arjuna to be a devotee of Mahadeva Shiva. 

1) Arjuna practised terrible austerities to please Mahadeva Shiva to get Pashupata weapon and all other weapons from all the gods

 Vana Parva, Chapter No.40, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

The great-souled Arjuna then engaged in terrible austerities in a beautiful region of that beautiful forest. He clad himself in darbha grass, bark and deerskin and carried a staff. In the first month, he ate fruits once every period of three nights was over. In the second month, it

was for double the period. In the third month, he ate once every fortnight, surviving on decayed leaves that fell down on the ground. When the fourth moon arrived and the moon was full, the mighty-armed son of Pandu survived only on air. He raised his arms up, and without anything for support, stood on the tips of his toes

2) Arjuna again worshipped and satisfied Lord Mahadeva

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 57, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Arjuna satisfied Sharva with a hymn.......Partha

was delighted and worshipped the one with the bull on his banner. 

3) Mahadeva Shiva used to care/favour Arjuna so much that he once fought for Arjuna on 15th day, although Arjuna hadn't invoked him in that battle to get his support. 

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 173, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

O Partha! In that fierce battle, when the body hair stood up, it is he who preceded you through his favours. 

4) Arjuna worshipped Mahadeva on 16th day of Kuru war

Karna Parva, Chapter No.21, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

“The best of men, Arjuna and Keshava, performed their religious ceremonies and worshipped Lord Bhava in accordance with the proper rites.They set their minds on killing the enemy and swiftly rushed against your army. The chariot roared like a cloud and the flags and standard fluttered in the wind. It was drawn by white horses.

ARJUNA :- THE MOST FAIR WARRIOR OF MAHABHARATA

Some morons always claims on the basis of fanfictions that Arjuna had killed some warriors unfairly but the truth is that they will never be able to prove it from BORI CE because no one was killed unfairly by the hands of Arjuna. The epic sings the glory of Arjuna multiple times for his fair fighting. I will post some of the narratives from Mahabharata which praise Arjuna for fighting fairly.

1) Here Arjuna says that he won't fight unfairly in Kuru war.

Udhyoga Parva, Chapter No. 195, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

I possess the terrible and great weapon that Pashupati gave me when there was a duel with the hunter.At the end of a yuga, that is employed by Pashupati to destroy all the beings. O tiger among men! I know how to use that. Gangeya does not know this, nor do Drona and Goutama. O

king! Neither do Drona’s son and the son of the suta. One should not use such divine weapons to kill ordinary people in battle. Without resorting to deceit, we will vanquish our enemies in battle. 

2) Here Arjuna got an opportunity to kill Bhagadatta's elephant but remembering the rules of war he didn't kill that elephant.

 Drona Parva, Chapter No. 27, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

 On seeing that the elephant was descending, like angry Death, Janardana quickly wheeled the chariot, so that it93 remained on the left. Dhananjaya thus got an opportunity to slay the mighty elephant and its rider. But remembering his dharma, he did not do this.

3) Here Arjuna didn't kill those warriors who were retreating and had fallen down by remembering the vow of warriors.

 Drona Parva, Chapter No. 31, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Some wailed in lamentation. Still others roared. Slain by Partha’s arrows, some fell

down, deprived of their lives. Remembering the vow of warriors, Arjuna did not kill the warriors who had fallen down, or were falling down, or were retreating. Most of the Kurus were shattered and, devoid of their chariots, were in retreat. 

4) When all the warriors from both sides were tired on 14th night, Arjuna stopped fighting then. Even enemies had to praise Arjuna for it that time.

 Drona Parva, Chapter No. 159, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘“O bull among men! On discerning that this was the state of affairs, Bibhatsu spoke loudly. ‘All you, and the mounts, are exhausted and blind with sleep. The soldiers are covered in darkness and a lot of dust. If you so think, let the soldiers desist from fighting. In the field of

battle, let them close their eyes for a while. Let them sleep and rest until the moon rises. Then, for the sake of heaven, let the Kurus and Pandavas fight again.’ Having heard the words of the one who observed dharma, the soldiers who knew about dharma found this acceptable

and loudly spoke to each other.

Having obtained some rest and

sleep, your soldiers also honoured the brave Arjuna and said, ‘The Vedas and all weapons are vested in you. You possess intelligence and valour. O mighty-armed one! O unblemished one! You have dharma and compassion for beings. O Partha! Since we have obtained assurance

from you, may you be prosperous. O brave one! May you swiftly obtain all those things that are dear to your heart.’ 

5) Dhrishtaduyma was not capable of killing Drona fairly hence Shri Krishna gave advice that Drona should be killed unfairly and everyone agreed with him but Arjuna was the only one who didn't approve his words that time still some people cry that Arjuna was an unfair warrior.

Drona Parva, Chapter No. 165, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

On seeing that they were afflicted by Drona’s arrows, Madhusudana, who wished for the victory of the sons of Pandu, spoke these words.

“He is supreme among the wielders of weapons. He is like the leader of a herd of leaders. He is incapable of being vanquished by the enemy in battle, even if it were to be the slayer of Vritra himself. O Pandavas! Therefore, abandon dharma and seek to ensure victory. Otherwise, the one on the golden chariot will kill all of you in the battle. It is my view that he

will not fight if Ashvatthama has been killed. Therefore, let someone utter a falsehood and tell him that he has been killed in the battle.” Dhananjaya, Kunti’s son, did not approve of these words. But all the others approved, Yudhishthira with great difficulty

6) Arjuna requested Dhrishtadyumna to not kill Drona 

The mighty- armed Dhananjaya, Kunti’s son, said, ‘O Drupada’s son! Let the preceptor remain alive. Do not

kill him. He should not be killed.’ The soldiers had also said that he should not be killed. Arjuna, overcome with compassion, had said this repeatedly. Arjuna was overcome with compassion and so were all the kings. But disregarding them, Dhrishtadyumna killed Drona,

7) After Kuru war, Arjuna was praised by the Panchalas for his fairness in fighting

Souptika Parva, Chapter No. 08, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

He is compassionate towards all

beings. Partha Dhananjaya does not kill one who is sleeping, one who is distracted, one who has cast aside his weapons, one who has joined his hands in salutation, one who is running away, or one

whose hair is dishevelled. 

8) After Kuru war, Shri Vyasa Deva called Arjuna a virtuous and righteous warrior.

 Souptika Parva, Chapter No. 15, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

‘Vyasa replied, “O son! Partha Dhananjaya knew about the weapon brahmashira. However, he did not release it out of rage, or to slay you in this encounter. In the encounter, he wished to pacify the

weapon that had been released by you. Arjuna released it, and withdrew it again. He obtained instruction in the use of brahmastra from your father. However, the mighty-armed Dhananjaya was

compassionate and did not deviate from the dharma of kshatriyas. He possesses fortitude and is virtuous. He has knowledge of all the weapons and is righteous. Why do you wish to kill such a

person and his brothers? 

9) Arjuna didn't commit a terrible act in battle thats the reason, one of his names was Bibhatsu

Virata Parva, Chapter No. 39, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

I have never committed a terrible act in battle. Therefore, I am known among gods and men as Bibhatsu.

Conclusion :- Since Leftist aren't able to prove that Arjuna was an unfair warrior from the direct references so they resort to the cross references but even those cross references are clearly refuted by other cross references which says that Arjuna was always a fair warrior. Hence we can safely conclude that there's no evidence of Arjuna being an unfair warrior in the Mahabharata CE by BORI

Opinion Of Shri Krishna On Equal Rights :-

Well as usual since we are living in a Left Wing dominated society, people tend to see even our gods as Left Winger Socialists and misinterpretes the texts to prove that our gods supported equal distribution of rights and resources in the society but as we all know that our gods possessed the knowledge of entire existence which includes the knowledge of civilization also hence they knew very well that a civilized society can't exist without inequalities.

The latest target of these leftists moron is none other than our supreme god Shri Krishna but in this post I am going to debunk the claims of these Anti Civilization Leftists on these divine eve of Shri Krishna Janmashtami 

Excuse Of Leftists :- Shri Krishna promoted equal distribution of rights and resources in Bhagavad Gita 

Disrobing :- Here's the narrative misinterpreted by Leftists ( Taken from BORI CE by me instead of KMG )

Bhishma Parva, Chapter No. 27, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

The wise look equally upon a brahmana who is learned and humble, a cow, an elephant, a dog and an outcaste.Those whose minds are established in equality overcome the earth in this world.Because the brahman is equal and without fault, therefore, they remain established in the brahman. 

Where does the equal distribution of rights and resources is mentioned here ? Here Shri Krishna didn't opposed any kind of fair inequality rather he just told Arjuna to see everyone equally and seeing everyone equally and providing equal rights and resources to everyone are different thingswhich will be proven in our next point 

Opinion Of Shri Krishna On  Inequal Treatment :- 

Sabha Parva, Chapter No. 42, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation 

He deserves to be killed only because of his insolence in front of this assembly of kings. Desiring a speedy death, this fool once offered himself to Rukmini. But the fool did not obtain her, the way a shudra cannot hear the Vedas.”

So here as we all can read, Shri Krishna clearly opposed equality as he clearly said that a Shudra can't hear Vedas so basically the statement misinterpreted by Manusmriti hater just says that Shri Krishna told Arjuna to just see everyone equally but not to treat everyone equal as the very basis of civilization and Varna system is inequality and Shri Krishna knew very well that equal treatment will lead the Varna system and civilization to collapse that's why he never supported equal distribution of rights and resources which is being always demanded by Manusmriti hater left socialists.

WAS ARJUNA REALLY A EUNUCH IN VIRAT CITY ?

Bhutta fans read epics just to defame protagonists of Mahabharat. A funny claim made by them is that Arjuna passed medical test of eunuch in Virata city hence he was a certified eunuch. Actually Urvashi's curse has been removed in the critical edition thats the reason those morons are claiming it.

The narrative used by them is:-

 Virata Parva, Chapter No. 10 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)

Vaishampayana said, ‘Having tested Brihannada in dancing, music and other arts, and on determining that he was a eunuch, the king of Matsya permitted him to enter the quarters of the princess

Here it is mentioned that on determining that Arjuna was a eunuch, they allowed him to enter the quarters of the princess but nowhere it is written that how they determined it then Bhutta fans shouldn't use their own dumb heads to assume that how they determined. May be they could have determined it just by seeing Arjuna's feminine cloths or believing in his words, who knows there may be many reasons, right ? Nowhere written that Arjuna had given any medical test there. ROFL

Also Lord Yama had given a boon to Yudhisthira that whatever forms they will assume, they will be disguised and no one will be able to recognize them

Vana Parva, Chapter No. 298 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)

‘Yudhishthira said, “The twelve years of dwelling in the forest have passed and the

thirteenth has arrived. Wherever we may live, may people not be able to recognize us.”’

Vaishampayana said, ‘The illustrious one granted him that boon. He again comforted Kounteya, for whom truth was his valour. “O descendant of the Bharata lineage! Even if you travel the earth in your own forms, no one in the three worlds will be able to recognize you. O extender of the Kuru lineage! Through my favours, you will spend the thirteenth year, hidden and undetected, in the city of Virata. Whatever form each of you desires to assume in

your mind, that will be the disguise you will adopt according to your wishes. 

At last, Arjuna also accepted before Uttara that he was not a eunuch in Virata city

Virata Parva, Chapter No. 40 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)

‘Arjuna replied, “I am telling you truthfully, I have observed this vow for a year, on the

instructions of my elder brother. I have observed brahmacharya. O mighty-armed one! I am not a eunuch, but united with dharma, have followed another. O son of a king! Know that my vow has been completed.

DRAUPADI :- THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL OF HER TIME

When we talk about humans then gods and goddess aren't included there.Draupadi was the most beautiful lady of her time in Mahabharata.

BHIMA :- ONE OF THE MOST HANDSOME WARRIORS OF HIS TIME.

People always underrate Bhima's beauty but Mahabharata never underrates his beauty. His beauty is repeatedly glorified there. He was one of the most handsome men of his era. This post is just a tribute to Bhima's beauty

Vayu’s son, the handsome Kounteya, proceeded happily, as if in sport, tearing away many nets of creepers with the force of his thighs. The one with the beautiful eyes wished to do that which would bring pleasure to his beloved. The youth was as tall as a golden palm and his body was like that of a lion.

was infested with buffaloes, boars and tigers, 

D)  Vana Parva, Chapter No.157, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

like that of a lion or a bull. He was handsome and noble. His complexion was like that of gold. He was spirited and strong, powerful and proud. The brave Pandava’s eyes were red and his shoulders were wide. He was like a maddened elephant in his valour. His teeth were

like a lion’s and his shoulders were expansive. He was as tall as a young shala tree. The great- souled one was beautiful in all his limbs. His neck was like a conch shell and his arms were huge.

Virata Parva, Chapter No.18, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

Sairandhri is beautiful in form and Ballava is extremely handsome. The minds of women are impossible to fathom. But it seems to me that they are made for each other. Sairandhri is always overcome by pity because they happily live together. They have lived in this royal household for the same duration of time

7) Bhima's description by Sanjaya.

Karna Parva, Chapter No.55, Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation

There were also chariots and horses that surrounded Vrikodara. O king! O foremost among Bharatas! Having been thus surrounded by valiant ones from

every direction, the brave  one was as beautiful as the moon surrounded by stars. O great king! That supreme of men looked radiant and handsome in the battle, in particular, as beautiful as Vijaya was.
