KARNA ACCEPTING HIS INCAPABILITY AGAINST HIS ENEMIES!

Karna fans always like to bark and bray about why Karna's defeats in the Rajasuya Yagna, Draupadi Swayamvara, against Satyaki, Abhimanyu etc are not even mentioned later on or used by other characters to insult him etc. Well that is because others did not need to use that to expose karna. As Karna HIMSELF would accept the facts sometimes! He would accept how he was defeated! I am here to tell you that karna fans are wrong, completely wrong. What more proof do you need besides karna's own approval and statements karna fans?

  1. Karna accepting that they will all die at the hands of Arjuna - This indicates that we shall soon have to proceed to Yama's abode. I have no doubt that myself and the other kings, indeed, the entire assemblage of Kshatriyas shall have to enter into the Gandiva fire.' http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m05/m05143.htm (chapter link)
    1. Gandiva was the bow of Arjuna. Yama's abode basically means the afterlife after you die.
    2. So basically put, Karna was in fear and felt like he was in a hopeless situation that he will die at Arjuna's hands.
    3. Karna agreed that he was weaker than Arjuna, that he was helpless in-front of Arjuna that he would die.
  2. Karna blaming destiny, fate and time - 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, 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. Fate, however, baffling our exertions, did not smile on us. We have always exerted to injure the Pandavas, relying both on deceit and prowess. Whatever act, O king, a person afflicted by Fate does, is frustrated by Fate, however, much the person himself may strive to achieve it. Whatever, indeed, a man endued with perseverance should do, ought to be done fearlessly. Success depends on Fate! http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07148.htm (chapter link)
    1. Note: over here Karna accepted his incapability again by accepting that he relied on deceit.
    2. The ruler of the Sindhus is Jayadratha (Duryodhana aka Suyodhana's brother-in-law his sister's husband). And he had been killed by Arjuna.
    3. Karna accepted that despite fighting to the utmost extent of his powers he could not save Jayadratha the ruler of the Sindhus. Thus accepting that he failed despite fighting at his very best.
  3. Karna accepting his defeat at Arjuna's hands once again - So also, in Virata's city, moving on a single car he vanquished all of us, and snatched from us that wealth of kine, and took from all the foremost of car-warriors (portions of) their garments. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08079.htm
    1. Karna himself confirmed his defeat at Virata Parva through this dialogue.
    2. Karna said Arjuna "vanquished all of us" thus proving he lost. He himself accepted his defeat.
  4. Karna declaring Arjuna the foremost of all warriors - "'Karna said, "As far as I have heard, such a superior car-warrior has never been born on earth! Behold my prowess, since I will contend in battle with even that Partha who is such. This prince of Kuru's line, this foremost of car-warriors, careers in battle, borne by his steeds white in hue. Perhaps he will despatch me to Yama's abode today. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08079.htm
    1. Karna declared that he has never heard of anyone better than Arjuna.
    2. Karna (upon seeing Arjuna career in battle) got caught in fear thinking that Arjuna will kill him.
  5. Karna accepted that he had crushed by Bhima badly - Thus addressed by thy son, O sire, the son of Radha replied unto Duryodhana, that foremost one among the Kurus, in these words, 'Deeply hath my body been pierced in battle by the brave bowman Bhimasena, capable of striking vigorously with repeated showers of arrows. O giver of honours, that I am yet present in battle is because that one like me should be present here. Scorched with the powerful shafts of Bhimasena, every limb of mine is suffering from torturing pain I shall, however, for all that, fight to the best of my p. 315  powers. My life itself is for thee. I shall strive my best so that this foremost one of the sons of Pandu may not succeed in slaying the ruler of the Sindhus. As long as I shall fight, shooting my whetted shafts, the heroic Dhananjaya, capable of drawing the bow with even his left hand, will not succeed in getting at the ruler of the Sindhus. All that a person, bearing love and affection to thee and always solicitous of thy good, may do, shall be done by me, O thou of Kuru's race! As regards victory, that depends on destiny. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07141.htm
    1. Karna accepted that he is only still on the battlefield despite getting wounded by Bhima because he should be. If he wasn't himself (if Karna wasn't Karna) then he would not still be their.
    2. Karna accepted that Bhima had injured him and scorched his body fiercely.
  6. Karna accepted his incapability against Abhimanyu - Hearing these words, Karna, afflicted with the shafts of Arjuna's son, once more said unto Drona, 'Exceedingly afflicted with the shafts of Abhimanyu, I am staying in battle, only because (as a warrior) I should stay here. Indeed, the arrows of this south of great energy are exceedingly fierce. Terrible as they are and possessed of the energy of fire, these arrows are weakening my heart.' http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07045.htm (chapter link)
    1. Karna accepted that he would flee the battlefield again if he wasn't a warrior.
    2. Karna accepted that the arrows of Abhimanyu are weakening his heart.
  7. Karna begging Arjuna's guru Drona to teach him how to kill - The Karna, the son of Vikartana, said unto Drona, 'Abhimanyu grindeth us all. Tell us the means by which we may slay him.' http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07045.htm (chapter link)
    1. When Karna got rendered helpless in the war against Abhimanyu he decided to beg others for help and support. He started to ask even his enemies teacher Drona for advice.
    2. Karna accepted that Abhimanyu was superior to him.
  8. Karna accepted his incapability against the Gandharvas led by Chitrasena - As regards myself, assailed by all the Gandharvas, I fled before thy eyes, unable to rally our flying host. Assailed by the foe with all his might, my body mangled with their arrows, I sought safety in flight. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03245.htm (chapter link)
    1. Karna accepted that he was unable to rally his army.
    2. Karna accepted that he fled from the battle and his body was mangled by arrows.
  9. Karna accepted his incapability against Dhrishtadyumna and Satyaki - Here, however, this Satyaki, this foremost one of the Satwata race, stayeth amid us. If this object of our aim can be struck down, we can then vanquish all our foes. Similarly, the son of the Panchala king is engaged with Drona. He is encompassed on all sides by many heroic and foremost of car-warriors. If we can slay Satyaki and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata without doubt, O king, victory will p. 393 be ours. Surrounding these two heroes, these two mighty car-warriors, as we did the son of Subhadra we will strive, O king, to slay them, viz., this son of Vrishni's race and this son of Prishata. Savyasachin, O Bharata, is before us, coming towards this division of Drona, knowing that Satyaki is engaged here with many chief among the Kurus. Let a large number of our foremost of car-warriors proceed thither, so that Partha may not be able to come to the rescue of Satyaki, now encompassed by many. Let these great heroes speedily shoot clouds of shafts with great force, so that Satyaki of Madhu's race may by speedily despatched to Yama's abode.' Ascertaining this to be the opinion of Karna, thy son, addressing Suvala's son in the battle, like the illustrious Indra addressing Vishnu, said these words, Surrounded by ten thousand unretreating elephants and ten thousand cars also, proceed against Dhananjaya! http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07167.htm (chapter link)
    1. If you read the whole chapter in the link then you will read and find out how Satyaki and Dhrishtadyumna had both defeated Karna in that battle. Prior to Karna's cowardly proposal.
    2. Karna proposed to make a plan a scheme to surround and attack Satyaki and Dhrishtadyumna with many foremost of car-warriors on all sides just like how they did to Abhimanyu (Arjuna's son).
      1. This in itself gives proof that Karna accepted his incapability that he was weaker than his opponents Satyaki & Dhrishtadyumna. As he failed to beat them in one-on-one combat so now he relies on such underhanded methods to kill them.
Now we can safely concur that Karna himself exposed his fans.

    1. Can you give me any textual evidence of Karna promising Kunti that he would not use Nagastra against any warrior besides Arjuna?

      Delete
    2. THE NAGA weapon itself is fake...there was no such weapon in karna's arsenal

      Delete
    3. Vinod - do you have evidence that the weapon was fake and did not exist in Karna's arsenal? He himself talked about shafts that he labelled "snaky weapons" not just in Karna Parva but in Udyoga Parva these weapons were also mentioned. Refer to the conversations Karna had with Bhishma and Ashwashena to know what i'm talking about.
