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.
