Celebrated

"'Yudhishthira said,

"Welcome, O thou that hast Devaki for thy mother, and welcome to thee, O Dhananjaya! The sight of both of you, O Acyuta and Arjuna, is exceedingly agreeable! I see that without being wounded yourselves, you two, his foes, have slain the mighty car-warrior Karna!

He was in battle like unto a snake of virulent poison. He was accomplished in all weapons. The leader of all the Dhartarashtras, he was their armour and protector!

While fighting he was always protected  

1. by Vrishasena and 
2. by Sushena, both of whom are great bowmen! Of great energy,

 he had received lessons from Rama in weapons! He was invincible in battle! The foremost one in all the world, as a car-warrior he was celebrated throughout all the worlds.He was the saviour of the Dhartarashtras, and the proceeder in their van! A slayer of hostile troops, he was the crusher of large bands of foes.

Ever engaged in Duryodhana's good, he was always prepared to inflict woe on us!He was invincible in battle by the very gods with Vasava at their head.

1. In energy and might he was equal untothe god of fire andthe god of wind.
2. In gravity he was unfathomable as the Nether world.

The enhancer of the joys of friends, he was like the Destroyer himself unto foes! Having slain Karna (who was even so) in dreadful battle, by good luck it is that you two have come, like a couple of celestials after vanquishing an Asura!

Today, O Acyuta and Arjuna, a great battle was fought between myself exerting with might and that hero resembling the Destroyer himself, while seeking to exterminate all creatures! My standard was cut down, and my two Parshni drivers also were slain by him. I was also made steedless and carless by him in the very sight

1. of Yuyudhana, 
2. of Dhrishtadyumna,
3. of the twins (Nakula and Sahadeva),
4. of the heroic Shikhandi,
5. as also in the very sight of the sons of Draupadi,and 
6. all the Pancalas! 

Having vanquished those innumerable foes,Karna of mighty energy then vanquished me,O thou of mighty arms, although I exerted myself resolutely in battle! Pursuing me then and without doubt, vanquishing all my protectors, that foremost of warriors addressed me in diverse harsh speeches. That I am still alive, O Dhananjaya, is due to the prowess of Bhimasena. What more need I say? I am unable to bear that humiliation!Filled with hatred of Karna, I burn, O Dhananjaya! Like the bird Vaddhrinasa I fled from Karna, knowing that the time for my own destruction had come. The whole of my time had passed in the thought as to how I would accomplish the destruction of Karna in battle!

Awake or asleep, O son of Kunti, I always beheld Karna (with my mind's eye). Wherever I was, the universe appeared to me to be full of Karna! Inspired with the fear of Karna, wherever I used to go, O Dhananjaya, thither I beheld Karna standing before my eyes!

Vanquished in battle, with my steeds and car, by that hero who never retreated from battle, alive I was let off by him!It is for this, O son of Kunti, that I ask thee today about thy welfare! Tell me in detail how thou hast slain Karna today!

1. In battle Karna was equal unto Sakra himself.
2. In prowess he was equal unto Yama.
3. In weapons he was equal unto Rama.

How then hath he been slain?

1. He was regarded as a mighty car-warrior, 
2. conversant with all modes of warfare. 
3. He was the foremost of all bowmen, and the one man amongst all men! 

O prince, the son of Radha was always worshipped by Dhritarashtra and his son, for thy sake! How then hath he been slain by thee? In all engagements, Dhritarashtra's son, O Arjuna, used to regard Karna as thy death, O bull among men! How then, O tiger among men, hath that Karna been slain by thee in battle? Tell me, O son of Kunti, how that Karna hath been slain by thee! How, while he was engaged in battle, didst thou, O tiger among men, strike off his head in the very sight of all his friends like a tiger tearing off the head of a ruru deer? 

1. That Suta's son who in battle searched all the points of the compass for finding thee, 
2. that Karna who had promised to give a car with six bulls of elephantine proportions unto him that would point thee out, 

I ask: doth that Karna of wicked soul lie today on the bare ground, slain with thy keen arrows equipped with kanka feathers? Having slain the Suta's son in battle, thou hast accomplished a deed highly agreeable to me! Encountering him in battle, hast thou really slain that Suta's son, who, filled with arrogance and pride and bragging of his heroism, used to search everywhere on the field of battle for thee? Hast thou, O sire, really slain in battle that sinful wretch who used to always challenge thee and who was desirous for thy sake of giving unto others a magnificent car, made of gold along with a number of elephants and bulls and steeds?

If I do so

'I am unable to desert Duryodhana in battle! If I do so, it would be a  

1. dishonourable, 
2. cruel, and 
3. ungrateful act. 

If, yielding to thy wishes, 

I make peace with Yudhishthira, people will say that I am afraid of the white-steeded Arjuna. 
Having vanquished Arjuna with Kesava, therefore in battle I will subsequently make peace with Dharma's son.'

Hero

Yudhistira to Narada

That hero 

1. who had the strength of ten thousand elephants, 
2. who in this world was an unrivalled car-warrior, 
3. who was possessed of leonine pride and gait, 
4. who was endued with great intelligence and compassion, 
5. whose liberality was very great, 
6. who practised many high vows, 
7. who was the refuge of the Dhartarashtras, 
8. who was sensitive about his honour, 
9. whose prowess was irresistible, 
10. who was ready to pay off all injuries and was always wrathful (in battle), 
11. who overthrew us in repeated encounters, 
12. who was quick in the use of weapons, conversant with every mode of warfare, possessed of great skill, and endued with wonderful valour (that Karna)

Oblations

Then Kunti, O king, in a sudden paroxysm of grief, weepingly addressed her sons in these soft words, 

1. That hero and great bowman, that leader of leaders of car-divisions, 
2. that warrior distinguished by every mark of heroism, who hath been slain by Arjuna in battle, 
3. that warrior whom, ye sons of Pandu, ye took forth, Suta’s child born of Radha, 
4. that hero who shone in the midst of his forces like the lord Surya himself, who battled with all of you and your followers, who looked resplendent as he commanded the vast force of the Duryodhana, who had no equal on earth for energy, 
5. that hero who preferred glory to life, that unretiring warrior firm in truth and never fatigued with exertion, was your eldest brother. Offer oblations of water unto that eldest brother of yours who was born of me by the god of day. 
6. That hero was born with a pair of earrings and clad in armour, and resembled Surya himself in splendour!’ 

Hearing these painful words of their mother, the Pandavas began to express their grief for Karna. Indeed, they became more afflicted than ever. 

 

Then that tiger among men, the heroic Yudhishthira, sighing like a snake, asked his mother, 

‘That Karna 

1. who was like an ocean having shafts for his billows, 
2. his tall standard for his vortex, 
3. his own mighty arms for a couple of huge alligators, 
4. his large car for his deep lake, and 
5. the sound of his palms for his tempestuous roar, and 
6. whose impetuosity none could withstand save Dhananjaya, 

O mother, wert thou the authoress of that heroic being? How was that son, resembling a very celestial, born of thee in former days? The energy of his arms scorched all of us. How, mother, couldst thou conceal him like a person concealing a fire within the folds of his cloth? 

His might of arms was always worshipped by the Dhartarashtras even as we always worship the might of the wielder of gandiva!  

How was that foremost of mighty men, that first of car-warriors, who endured the united force of all lords of earth in battle, how was he a son of thine? Was that foremost of all wielders of weapons our eldest brother? How didst thou bring forth that child of wonderful prowess? Alas, in consequence of the concealment of this affair by thee, we have been undone! By the death of Karna, ourselves with all our friends have been exceedingly afflicted. 

The grief I feel at Karna’s death is a hundred times greater than that which was caused by 

1. the death of Abhimanyu and 
2. the sons of Draupadi, and 
3. the destruction of the Pancalas and 
4. the Kurus. 

Thinking of Karna, I am burning with grief, like a person thrown into a blazing fire. Nothing could have been unattainable by us, not excepting things belonging to heaven. Alas, this terrible carnage, so destructive of the Kurus, would not have occurred.’ Copiously indulging in lamentations like these, king Yudhishthira the just uttered loud wails of woe. 

The puissant monarch then offered oblations of water unto his deceased elder brother. Then all the ladies that crowded the shores of the river suddenly sent up a loud wail of grief. The intelligent king of the Kurus, Yudhishthira, caused the wives and members of Karna’s family to be brought before him. Of righteous soul, he performed, with them, the water-rite in honour of his eldest brother. Having finished the ceremony, the king with his senses exceedingly agitated, rose from the waters of Ganga."

Gandhari

"Gandhari said, ‘Then the mighty Karna, that great bowman, lieth on the ground! In battle he was like a blazing fire! That fire, however, hath now been extinguished by the energy of Partha. Behold, Vikartana’s son Karna, after having slain many atirathas, has been prostrated on the bare ground, and is drenched with blood. Wrathful and possessed of great energy, he was a great bowman and a mighty car-warrior. Slain in battle by the wielder of gandiva, that hero now sleepeth on the ground. My sons, those mighty car-warriors, from fear of the Pandavas, fought, placing Karna at their head, like a herd of elephants with its leader to the fore. Alas, like a tiger slain by a lion, or an elephant by an infuriated elephant, that warrior hath been slain in battle by Savyasaci. Assembled together, O tiger among men, the wives of that warrior, with dishevelled tresses and loud wails of grief, are sitting around that fallen hero! Filled with anxiety caused by the thoughts of that warrior, king Yudhishthira the just could not, for thirteen years, obtain a wink of sleep! Incapable of being checked by foes in battle like Maghavat himself who is invincible by enemies, Karna was like the all-destroying fire of fierce flames at the end of the yuga, and immovable like Himavat himself! That hero became the protector of Dhritarashtra’s son, O Madhava! Alas, deprived of life, he now lieth on the bare ground, like a tree prostrated by the wind! Behold, the wife of Karna and mother of Vrishasena, is indulging in piteous lamentations and crying and weeping and falling upon the ground! Even now she exclaims, "Without doubt, thy preceptor’s curse hath pursued thee! When the wheel of thy car was swallowed up by the Earth, the cruel Dhananjaya cut off thy head with an arrow! Alas, fie (on the heroism and skill)!" That lady, the mother of Sushena, exceedingly afflicted and uttering cries of woe, is falling down, deprived of her senses, at the sight of the mighty-armed and brave Karna prostrated on the earth, with his waist still encircled with a belt of gold. Carnivorous creatures, feeding on the body of that illustrious hero, have reduced it to very small dimensions. The sight is not gladdening, like that of the moon on the fourteenth night of the dark fortnight. Falling down on the earth, the cheerless dame is rising up again. Burning with grief on account of the death of her son also, she cometh and smelleth the face of her lord!’"

Witness

The rajahs then descended from their gorgeous thrones and gathered around Draupadi as the bright gods gather around Párvati, the mountain bride of Shiva. 

1. Their hearts were filled with love for the maiden and with hate for one another. Rivals frowned upon rivals. 
2. Those who had been close friends became of a sudden angry enemies because that Draupadi was so beautiful. 

 while rajah opposed rajah like to angry elephants.

1. Each of the love-sick monarchs gazed upon the mighty bow and upon the whirling target on high, and 
2. for a time no man sought to lift the bow lest he should be unable to bend it and then be put to shame. 
3. At length a rajah, more bold than the others, picked it up and tried his strength without avail; another followed and another, but failed to string it. 
4. Soon many rajahs strained their arms in vain, and some fell upon the ground and groaned, while the laughter of the people pealed around the barriers. . . .

Krishna and Balarama alone remained aloof; calmly and self-restrained they stood apart,The gods had assembled in mid-air and looked down with steadfast eyes.

At length proud Karna strode forward; he took the bow and bent it and fixed the bowstring. Then he seized an arrow. 

1. Drupada and his son were alarmed, fearing he might succeed and claim the bride. 
2. Suddenly Draupadi intervened, for she would not have the son of a charioteer for her lord. 

 She said, speaking loudly: "I am a king's daughter, and will not wed with the base-born. . . ."

Karna smiled bitterly, his face aflame. He cast down the bow and walked away, gazing towards the sun. He said: "O sun! be my witness that I cast aside the bow, not because I am unable to hit the mark, but because Draupadi scorns me."

Boat

He is angry and claims that everyone wants to use him, like a boat to cross the sea of war and get where they want to go. This is his chance to fight the Arjuna, earn 

1. love and

Parashurama

Karna was half brother to the Pandavas and son of Surya, but raised by a Suta charioteer. Karna came to Parashurama after being rejected by Drona because he imparted knowledge only to Kshatriyas, and Karna was, a son of Suta. Karna did not know of his true parentage and hence said he was a Brahmin, and so Parashurama accepted him as his student, giving him knowledge of the powerful Brahmastra weapon. Parashurama trained Karna to such a point that he declared Karna to be equal to himself in the art of warfare and archery.

One day, Parashurama was sleeping with his head resting on the lap of Karna and a scorpion crawled up the leg of the student and bit his thigh. In spite of the pain, Karna neither flinched nor cried so his guru could rest. Warm blood, however, trickled down his leg, waking Parashurama. Convinced that only a Kshatriya could have borne such pain in silence, Parashurama realized the lie of Karna, and cursed his student that his knowledge would fail him when it was most crucial. 

Upon Karna's pleading, Parshurama gifted him the 

1. celestial weapon called Bhargavastra, along with his 
2. personal bow called Vijaya, for being such a diligent student. ^[11]

Years later, during the Kurukshetra war, Karna had a dream in which he envisioned his guru and asked him to take back the curse he had given years back. Parashurama revealed that he had known all along Karna was a Kshatriya, but because he was a worthy student Parashurama had instructed him regardless. The avatar explained to Karna that the Brahmastra had to fail him when he needed it most. If he killed Arjuna, Duryodhana would be king instead of Yudhishthira, and chaos would ensue. Parashurama asked Karna to accept his curse and asked him to die at the hands of Arjuna,so that the world might live in peace.^[7] Karna accepted his gurus words and in return the grateful guru, Parashurama blessed Karna with 

1. immortal glory and 
2. everlasting fame.^[11] 

Later during the war, Karna died when shot fatally by Arjun for the sake of his guru's words.
