Nope. शक्यं = can Well in all of the people there, only Karna was the one who stood up to help Draupadi, but she couldnt say a word to him and he misinterpreted this. This offer of Krishna to Karna is the most discussed part from Mahabharata. We say Pandavas are on dharma side because they won the battle. This clearly evident when he donates the fruits of all his good deeds including this one. Also, there would be less drama which is bad for makers of the TV show as, without drama, it is very difficult to keep the audience engaged. Karna refused all – temptations, reasoning, fear, and the revelation of the secret of his birth. दवीजा: = O Brahmanas, If still in doubt, you can check the English meaning of Sanskrit words from here: http://spokensanskrit.org/. धनुर्वेदा = archery It clearly indicates that Karna also failed in the task as he is one of the kings. Cant she choose who she wants to marry? This is not what you are. She forgave Jayadratha after he abducted her. While you have highlighted the negative side of Karna, which is acceptable becuase he insulted Draupadi. Is it true or not. Karna, the one who called his wife names and insulted her in the Sabha. Most scholars consider BORI’s Critical Edition as the most authentic version of Mahabharata. परमुखै : = foremost Ultimately do you remember Nakul? Karna is one of the most wonderful characters of this epic according to Lord Krishna. So what on earth are these Brahmins doing here ) .... At this time , the wise Krishna somehow justifies the rationale and gives a lecture about things that only he can give .. and in short buys the argument in favour of Arjuna .. and he won .. That said , where was ethics & moral rights practiced here especially when the basic condition which Karna satifies was hardly the case with Arjuna .. But Karna's son was the first to die in the war. I also agree with you sir.but in mahabharat it is shown that there are no perfect heroes or perfect villans. And Karna during all instances even until the end had never thought about himself. पार्थिवै = King OK guys...so much debate has been made on this. There are no reports of Dhritarashtra having been bad administrator or his sons being bad either prior to arrival of Pandavas, are there? Because if Draupadi does not reject Karna, then people do not sympathise with Karna. This famous version is also mentioned in Kisari Mohan Ganguli’s English Translation of Mahabharata named “The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa“. She used to bring all the news of Krishna to her and Krishna was himself aware that Draupadi longs for him. Arjun spared Karnas life in two battles.1.When karna, and Duryodhanas army stole king Viraats cow.Arjuna defeated all of them alone without krishna.2.When Durodhana Karna were defeated and captured by Gandharav Chitrarath. When the Mahabharat war became unavoidable, Shri Krishna had deliberately tried to play a war strategy by saying that Karna is son of Kunti. He says " Oh!!! Draupadi did not tell regret words to Karna, but she confessed during the exile in 13 year near some lake. If krishna wanted he could have stopped the mahabharata, but he didnt.1. startv.in. However Krishna was Lord....no one can ever be compared to him.Well..I can go on forever about Lord Krishna and Kaunteya Karna...but I guess you get my point XD, and yeah...duryodhan kept karna out of the yagya where he invited pandavas....He knew Karna would never approve. To gain a sense of Draupadi’s feelings towards Karna, let’s look at the relevant incidents. Krishna told Draupadi to reject Karna at the Swayamvar because... Duryodhana knows that he cannot accomplish the tough trial to overcome to win her hand, he has immense confidence in his friend Karna's skills. The question about Karna could be placed better, if it followed another question ‘who in the entire Mahabharata, actually liked Draupadi very much, and supported her sincerely, apart from Krishna, and controversially her husbands. Who is the HERO of the Mahabharata ? If Abhimanyu's death was trecherous , I fail to guess how you would classify Bhishma's , Drona's, Jayadratha's, Duryodhana's & Karna's death !! Chronicler..i love your post! He also knows how much she loathed Karna. Arjuna rescued them. He reveals the secret of Karna’s … Krishna: Do you know that you are the eldest Kunti Putra. I quote the passage from Mahabarath only to prove that Karna's hatred for the Pandavas was so huge that it clouded his every judgement.Krishna showed clearly that he too is capable of deceit, to achieve the ultimate goal. Don't make only debate, take lessons from the Great epic Mahabharata. But seeing Karna, Draupadi loudly said, ‘I will not select a Suta for my lord.’ Then Karna, laughing in vexation and casting a glance at the Sun, threw aside the bow already drawn to a circle. Karna indeed will be remembered as a tragic hero. Our audience is familiar with the popular version of the story in which Draupadi rejects Karna. If he does then, is he failed in the task? They all did what they had to do. tell me honestly, would you respect a woman who consistently bitches and argues.. who seeks revenge on everyone.. who makes fun of blind people.. who thinks she is all that? One answer could be the mindset of the audience. No sane person would hand over a shield that can protect his life on the eve of war to his biggest enemy 's father (Indra). The 4 important relations in the life of anyone are maata pita guru bhagwan. Many people refer that to point out there was some thing between Draupadi and Karna. I guess the term ' Bhikshaa' was a complement to Draupadi ..!!! Though I would think a person of Karna's nature and stature should definitely not have joined in killing of Abhimanyu. She did not chide her other sons when they humiliated him. That, he was able to be that good in spite of such difficult circumstances, is what I feel makes him the most admired character in Mahabharata. Hi Buddy .. Great post .. Just to add to his arguments - when Yudhishtra laments at Krishna was blinding him to the fact that Karna was indeed his brother and used him to kill Karna, Krishna laughs it off and says - "why do you keep blaming yourself as if you killed Karna? intresting take on karna. Svayamvara: The first interaction between Draupadi and Karna is during her svayamvara. But because with all of this, Karna still sided with the untruth or adharma. In this section, Vaishampayana says that Jishnu (or Arjuna) get up from the group of Brahmanas to take part in Draupadi’s Swayamvar when all the kings gave up and failed in the task. People will justify why kaurava humiliated Pandavas and Draupadi because in their view Kauravas are heros. i do accept the pranav had said.its truth.insulting such noble person what punishment should get them. Krishna believes it so for years later when he tries to lure Karna away from the Kauravas he offers the following bribe, “You will be king. She was born to assist Lord Krishna to destroy all the arrogant Kings. - Duration: 5:10. PDF articles by pilot baba throws more light. There's no point in the epic where he tries to be god; he tries to be good (and succeeds often) and yet he has his fair share of fallacies just like all of us have. Long before Pandavas were into the picture, Draupadi sought Krishna. Dharma is a word that is used to define Hinduism. Why did Draupadi not protest when she was told to marry five husbands instead of one? My point is we cannot ignore or object our Puranas, unless and until we have any solid proofs/ points to defend our statements. Is it Krishna , or , Arjuna , or Bheeshma ? Lord Krishna is beyond any comparison. You are talking about karna insulted draupadhi then why draupadhi insulted karna in swayamwar by calling him sutaputra if she want to marry arjuna then he had to arange the swayamwar according to her choice by wish, why they aranged the competitionAnd karna did not call her as whore, the draupadhi asked with bishma how a kulavadhu become the bet in dice karna interfere and said you are not kulavadhu (kulavadhu means women married and live truly with one man) by married more than four men you violate the principle so you are not kulavadhu karna said, If she want to choose her husband in swayamwar she had to making swayamwar as choosing husband by her choice . Here's the most important conversation between Karna and Sri Krishna that is an eye opener - Mahabharata the Epic of Epics has some beautiful aspects of … So, the question of Karna protecting Drauapdi from Shishupala doesn’t arise. What Karna did was right. Still he was about to help draupadi....if krishna was even a moment late, karna would've killed Dushashan.I dont compare Karna and Krishna, they both understood why the other did what he did...they both respected each other immensely and so do I. Draupadi and Krishna – A Multi-Layered Bond . !You see, history if often written by those who screwed heroes ... .. And oh ! Why ?also could you write what Maan Draupadi replied to Karna afetr getting refusal answer from the Lord Sri krishna . krishna 17 times ran away from jarasandha who is defeated by karna after 21days of battle.how should u r saying krishna can kill karna. Sorry, but it's true.. she's conniving, mean, and she had 4 men. What does BORI’s Mahabharata say on this issue? Or rather that is my argument entirely.Karna was loyal to Dhuryodhan, even when he knew that he was doing things wrong and indulged in cheating. Karna was the most powerful warrior after Bheeshm & Drona. There was no such kind of Dharma and Adharma. And no, Draupadi had no soft spot for anyone other than her five husbands. In my opinion, it could have been two things:1) Karna's life was a test. नानृतं = could not Karna, the noble one, the virtuous one, the charitable one, the son of the Sun God himself, had a life which seemed to be one long suffering. In these situation, even deceitful killing of Maharathis can be justified. He is the avatar of Lord Vishnu. In it he very sincerely asks Karna to forgive him for all the things he had to go through in his life. In Gita Lord Krishna himself said that among Pandavs Arjuna is best.Karna was danveer. was karnan is in his right mind? But the fact is Karna possessed all 5 of those qualities.. then why didnt krishna allow draupadi to marry him.. Infact it was Krishna who reminded her of her rights to chose whom she would like to marry.As far as the Viraat war is concerned Karna didnt run away.. Duryodhana got injured while fighting with Arjuna, so karna like a true friend took him to safety. So you see, Draupadi was considered as nothing but a pawn by someone who ought to have been her father .2. He never proved that he is Superior warrior as compared to Arjuna. I would say he still achieved nirvana because of his generous nature, and loyalty. compared to Karna's factual statement...5. Krishna called Draupadi Sakhi (a she-friend) and she called him Sakha (a friend who happens to be a male). I know anyone can justify this ..saying that it was the prevalent norms and so on .. So Vishnu just protects and balances off the world, thus ensuring the destruction of Karna who was supposed to be indestructible.These are just my opinions...
