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!’"

Moses

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."

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.

Vyuha


Karna arranged his army in Makara vyuha. Looking at the formation of the Kauravas army, Yudhisthira noted their vyuha and the shining chariot of Karna. Arjuna chose the crescent formation.

One Vs All in One

"Those princes of restrained souls and devoted to Yoga, proceeding to the north, beheld Himavat, that very large mountain. Crossing the Himavat, they beheld a vast desert of sand. They then saw the mighty mountain Meru, the foremost of all high-peaked mountains.

As Pandavas were proceeding quickly, all rapt in Yoga, Draupadi, falling of from Yoga, dropped down on the Earth.

Beholding her fallen down, Bhimasena of great strength addressed king Yudhishthira the just, saying,

‘O scorcher of foes, this princess never did any sinful act. Tell us what the cause is for which Draupadi has fallen down on the Earth!’

"Yudhishthira said: ‘O best of men, though we were all equal unto her she had great partiality for Arjuna. She obtains the fruit of that conduct today, O best of men.’"

Lomasa

Lomasa to Yudhishtra

O bull of the Bharata race, well do I know that Karna is
  1. endued with great ardour and 
  2. energy and 
  3. strength and 
  4. prowess that is incapable of being baffled. 
  5. Skilled in fierce conflict, 
  6. he hath not his rival in battle; 
  7. that he is a mighty bowman, 
  8. a hero deft in the use of fierce weapons and 
  9. cased in the best of mail. 
  10. Well do I know that that exalted son of Aditya resembleth the son of Maheswara himself.

Fire

Yudhistira  Said
 
Karna also of the Suta caste is a mighty warrior versed in celestial weapons. In respect of the impetus of his weapons, he is endued with the strength of the Wind-god. Himself like a flame of fire, 
  1. the arrows (proceeding from him) constitute its tongues. 
  2. The slaps of his left hand cased in leathern fence constitute the crackling of that flame. 
  3. The dust of the battle-field is its smoke. 
Urged by the sons of Dhritarashtra even as the wind urgeth the fire, Karna like unto the all-consuming fire at the end of the Yuga that is sent by Death himself, will, without doubt, consume my troops like unto a heap of straw.

Wicked

Yudhisthira to arjuna

That Karna of wicked understanding who in the assembly; before the Kuru chiefs, had addressed Krishna, saying,'Why, O Krishna, dost thou not abandon the Pandavas that are divested of might, exceedingly weak, and fallen?'That Karna who had vowed for thy sake, saying that he would not return from battle without having slain Krishna and Partha.I ask, doth that Karna of sinful understanding lie today on the field, his body pierced with shafts? Thou knowest the nature of the battle that took place when the Srinjayas and the Kauravas encountered each other, the battle in which I was brought to that distressful plight. Encountering that Karna, hast thou slain him today? O Savyasaci, hast thou today, with blazing shafts sped from gandiva, cut off from the trunk of that Karna of wicked understanding his resplendent head decked with earrings? Pierced with Karna's shafts today, I had, O hero, thought of thee (that thou wouldst slay him)! Hast thou then, by the slaughter of Karna, made that thought of mine true? In consequence of the protection granted him by Karna, Suyodhana, filled with pride, always recked us little. Displaying thy prowess, hast then today destroyed that refuge of Suyodhana? That Suta's son of wicked soul, that Karna of great wrath, who had formerly, in the presence of the Kauravas and in the midst of the assemblycalled us sesame seeds without kernel, encountering that Karna in battle, hast thou slain him today?That Suta's son of wicked soul who had, laughing the while, commanded Duhshasana to forcibly drag Yajnasena's daughter won in gambling by Subala's son, hath he been slain today by thee?That Karna of little understanding who, having been counted as only half a car-warrior during the tale of rathas and atirathas, had upbraided that foremost of all wielders of weapons on Earth, our grandsire Bhishma, hath he been slain by thee?Extinguish, O Phalguna, this fire in my heart that is born of vindictiveness and is fanned by the wind of humiliation, by telling me that thou hast slain Karna today, having encountered him in battle! The news of Karna's slaughter is exceedingly agreeable to me. Tell me, therefore, how the Suta's son hath been slain! Like the divine Vishnu waiting for the arrival of Indra with the intelligence of Vritra's slaughter, I had so long waited for thee, O hero!"'"

  2. of kingdom either,

Jarasandha

Jarasandha, the ruler of Magadha, having by conciliation and honours obtained Karna for a friend, had challenged all the Kshatriyas of the world, except the Kauravas and the Yadavas(8,8)
Hearing of the fame of Karna's might, the ruler of the Magadhas, king Jarasandha, challenged him to a single combat. Both conversant with the celestial weapons, a fierce battle took place between them in which they struck each other with diverse kinds of arms. At last when their arrows were exhausted and bows and swords were broken and they both became careless, they began, possessed of might as they were, to fight with bare arms. While engaged with him in mortal combat with bare arms, Karna was about to sever the two portions of his antagonist's body that had been united together by Jara. The king (of Magadha), then after feeling himself very much pained, cast off all desire of hostility and addressed Karna, saying, 'I am gratified.' From friendship he then gave unto Karna the town Malini. Before this, that tiger among men and subjugator of all foes (viz., Karna) had been king of the Angasonly, but from that time the grinder of hostile forces began to rule over Champa also, agreeably to the wishes of Duryodhana (12,5)
Karna's promise to anyone who will discover the location of Arjuna for him in Kurukshetra War:- I shall give a hundred female slaves, with golden collars, belonging to the country of the Magadhas, and of very youthful age. (8,38).

Fate

Karna to Duryodhana
  1. I think that which is ordained by Fate never occurs otherwise. And since, O Suyodhana, in spite of ourselves fighting to the utmost extent of our powers, the ruler of the Sindhus has been slain in battle, 
  2. it seems that Fate is all-powerful. With thyself we had all been exerting to the utmost of our might on the field of battle. 
  3. Fate, however, baffling our exertions, did not smile on us. We have always exerted to injure the Pandavas, relying both on deceit and prowess. 
  4. Whatever act, O king, a person afflicted by Fate does, 
  5. is frustrated by Fate, however, much the person himself may strive to achieve it. 
  6. Whatever, indeed, a man endued with perseverance should do, ought to be done fearlessly. 
  7. Success depends on Fate! 
  8. O Bharata! 
    1. By deceit the sons of Pritha were beguiled as also by the administration of poison, 
    2. Burnt they were in the palace of lac, vanquished they were at dice. 
    3. In accordance with the dictates of statecraft, they were exited into the woods. 
    4. All these, though done by us with care, have been baffled by Fate. 
  9. Fight with resolution, O king, setting Fate at nought. Between thee and them, both striving to the best of your prowess even 
  10. Fate may prove auspicious to that party which excels the other. No wise measures have been adopted by the Pandavas with the aid of superior intelligence. Nor, O hero, do we see, O perpetuator of Kuru's race, that thou hast done anything unwise from want of intelligence! It is Fate that decides the result of acts, wise or unwise; 
  11. Fate, ever intent on its own purposes is awake when all else sleeps. Vast was thy host, and thy warriors are many. Even thus the battle began. With their small force, much greater and consisting of men capable of smiting effectually, hath been much reduced. 
  12. I fear, it is the work of Fate, that has frustrated our exertions.

Trust

In the beginning of the Mahabharat war, we see that Arjuna became depressed and dejected seeing his own kinsmen in the opposite side. Therein we find that Lord Krishna encourages Arjuna by again and again telling Arjuna, "Stand up and fight! O Bharatha!" These words of encouragement are a source of great strength. On the other hand we see that Karna had Shalya as his charioteer and he was always discouraging Karna. King Shalya was the brother of Madri (mother of Nakula and Sahadeva), as well as the ruler of Madra-desa or the kingdom of Madra. The Pandavas had counted on Shalya joining their side with his huge army. On the way to assist the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra war, Shalya was tricked by Duryodhana, who arranged a huge feast for Shalya and his men. When Shalya was impressed by the hospitality of his host, whom he mistakenly thought to be Yudhisthira, he offered to be at his host's service. Unable to turn down Duryodhana's request to join the Kauravas, Shalya met Yudhisthira and apologized for his mistake. Yudhishtira, knowing that Shalya was a great charioteer and forecasting that Shalya would someday be asked to be the charioteer of Karna, extracted a vow from Shalya to the effect that Shalya will demoralise Karna and dampen his spirits. Shalya assured the Pandavas that he would do the needful.  

So during the war, when he was serving Karna he told, "Do you  seriously you think you can bring down Arjuna.....A rabbit can never bring down an elephant!" At the end, Karna pulled out his Nagastra and aimed it straight at Arjuna's head  and was about to fire it, when he was interrupted by Shalya. 'Karna! Do not aim for the head....Aim for the chest!' Shalya shouted. Even though Shalya was giving proper advise at this point, since he had continuously demoralized and discouraged Karna, Karna was in no mood to heed Shalya's warning. Shalya left Karna in the lurch since Karna did not heed his advice. Karna probably thought that Shalya was still trying to distract him by degrading him and fired the nagastra straight at Arjuna's head. Arjuna was not quick enough and could not defend against it. Krishna saw the astra coming as if in slow motion and right at the last minute when the weapon was almost among them, he pushed the chariot down and so....the weapon which came for the head went with the crown. 'Use the weapon again!' A voice came to Karna. Karna saw astonished as the astra looked at him in the shape of a snake. 'This Arjuna has killed my family in the Khandava forest...Use me again and this time I shall kill Arjuna!' Karna looked angrily at the astra. He said 'The only person I trust is myself....I do not trust anyone else to fight for me! Go away!'

Thus continuous discouragement made him lose trust on everyone. That is why we see that the children who are always discouraged in their young age, grow up to be highly negative personalities with no love and trust on anybody.

Do not fear

Adhiratha's son (Karna), loudly assuring the troops with the words 'Do not fear' proceeded to face Arjuna. Then (Karna)
  1. that foremost of Bharata car-warriors, 
  2. that delighter of all the Bharatas, 
  3. that first of all persons acquainted with weapons, 
invoked into existence the Agneya weapon. Dhananjaya, however, baffled by means of his own arrowy downpours the flights of arrows shot by Radha's son, that warrior of the blazing bow, that hero of bright shafts. And similarly, Adhiratha's son also baffled the shafts of Arjuna of supreme energy. Resisting Arjuna's weapons thus by his own, Karna uttered loud shouts and shot many shafts at his antagonist.

Then
  1. Dhristadyumna and 
  2. Bhima and 
  3. the mighty car-warrior Satyaki, all approached Karna, and each of them pierced in with three straight shafts.  
The son of Radha, however, checking Arjuna's weapons by his own arrowy showers, cut off with three sharp shafts the bows of those three warriors. Their bows cut off, they looked like snakes without poison.
