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

He sat in the midst of the brahmana rishis and recounted everything that had happened. “I have learnt these weapons from Shakra, the wind-god and Shiva themselves. Together with the gods, Indra was pleased at my conduct and

my concentration.

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

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
