ARCHERY SPEACIAL Finally Find Out Why Karna Is Considered As Greatest Archer Ever Born ?? -- Why All People Follow Karna Instead Of Arjuna ?? --Lets See..!! PERFORMANCE IN RANGBHOOMI COMPETETION (Quoted from complete translation of ved vyass mahabharat by Prof. William Buck) 1) PERFORMANCE OF ARJUNA - SCREENSHOT - http://goo.gl/Y5VSm5 TEXT: Arjuna shot roaring flames from his chariot, then fountains of water to put them out; he hide himself in silver clouds, he drove the dust away with wind, he called up mountain from the earth, he spoke to an arrow & the hill was gone. Arjuna surpassed everyone who had gone before. 2) PERFORMANCE OF KARNA - SCREENSHOT - http://goo.gl/EdhJT2 TEXT: Karna turned gracefully to Arjuna and said, " I shall do all you have just done", so that you too may be amazed. " Drona gave his permission, and Karna did it all, and easily did it better; he was quicker, he was more gracious, and his skill was effortless. (NOTE THIS LINE) - " easily did it BETTER; he was QUICKER, he was MORE gracious " 3) REACTION OF JELOUS ARJUNA AFTER PERFORMANCE OF KARNA - as it were. And, O tiger among men, Duryodhana was filled with delight, while Vibhatsu(arjuna) was instantly all #abashment and anger. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m01/m01139.htm 4) REACTION OF YUDHISTIRA - Yudhishthira was impressed with the belief that there was no warrior on earth like unto Karna.'" http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m01/m01140.htm ~ RESULT ~ KARNA PERFORMED FEATS OF ARJUNA IN LESS TIME, IN BETTER WAY, MORE ACCURATELY THAN ARJUNA... ARJUN WAS TOO SLOW AGAINST KARNA IN PURE ARCHERY.. EVEN YUDHISTIRA REALISED THERE WAS NO ARCHER LIKE KARNA, NOT EVEN HIS OWN BROTHER. ..HENCE RESULT IS CLEAR LIKE WATER PERFORMANCE IN DRAUPADI SWAYAMVAR 1) PERFORMANCE OF ARJUNA - A) As Per Jaimini Version Of Mahabharat ->>>> SCREENSHOT-http://goo.gl/RhKHNd TRANSLATION: Karna was asked to come down so he sat on his throne wearing his crown. Arjun performed some of this task on his own but Lord Krishna helped him by placing strength in him. The arrow that Arjun shot, he placed Yudhisteer's punya on it. B) As Per Bhagwatam ->>>> [Arjuna said to Ved Vyass] Only by His (Krishna's) merciful strength was I able to vanquish all the lusty princes assembled at the palace of King Drupada for the selection of the bridegroom. With my bow and arrow I could pierce the fish target and thereby gain the hand of Draupadi. http://vedabase.net/sb/1/15/en2 (NOTE THIS LINE) - "Only by His merciful strength ........ I could pierce the fish target and thereby gain the hand of Draupadi. 2) PERFORMANCE OF KARNA - beholding the plight of those monarchs, Karna that foremost of all wielders of the bow went to where the bow was, and quickly raising it strung it and placed the arrows on the string. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m01/m01190.htm ~ RESULT ~ KARNA STRUNG UP THE BOW OF SWAYAMVAR WITHOUT HELP OF ANYONE.. WHEREAS ARJUNA USED POWER OF KRISHNA & PUNYA OF YUDHISTIRA.... HE HIMSELF ACCEPTED IN FRONT OF VED VYASS, WITHOUT POWER OF KRISHNA, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAILED IN SWAYAMVAR ... HENCE RESULT IS CLEAR LIKE WATER PERFORMANCE IN OTHER ARCHERY TECHNIQUES 1) COUNTERING ILLUSIONARY ATTACK ->>>> A) PERFORMANCE OF KARNA - ( Karna destroyed 1000s types of various illusionary attack by Ghatatkoch ) Then many Rakshasas and Pisachas and Yatudhanas, and large numbers of wolves and leopards, of frightful faces rushed towards Karna for devouring him. These approached the Suta's son, uttering fierce howls for frightening him. Karna pierced every one of those monsters with many swift-winged and terrible shafts that drank their blood. At last, using a celestial weapon, he destroyed that illusion of the Rakshasa. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07172.htm ( Dhritrashtra admitted about 1000s kinds of illusion of Ghatatkoch ) he who, with Shakra's dart, slew that prince of rakshasas, Ghatotkaca, who from desire of victory, had invoked a 1,000 kinds of illusions. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08009.htm B) PERFORMANCE OF ARJUNA - ( Krishna & Pradyumn successfully countered illusion of Nikumbha.. Only Arjun failed being poor Archer ) Sacred-Text : Thousands (of nikumbha-s) fought with kriShNa, O the oppressor of enemies! (janamejaya! vaisampayana continued), thousands fought with the son of pritha arjuna and thousands fought with the valiant son of rukmini pradymna. This was a wonder. Some of the great demons nikumbha held the bow of the pandava arjuna, some others held his hand, some other great demons held his feet.Holding the valiant arjuna in this manner, they rose up in the sky. http://mahabharata-resources.org/…/vishnuparva/hv_2_090.html ( Brihanalla failed..failed..failed..Lolwa ) 2) SHOOTING MULTIPLE ARROWS AT THE SAME TIME ->>>> (Karna was able to shoot 80000 arrows at the same time, whereas Arjun could shoot only 60000 at a time.. Difference in skill- 20000 arrows ) SCREENSHOT - http://goo.gl/ki13ju TRANSLATION : Karna was fighting Arjun in the battlefield. Every arrow that Karna shot by placing agnito mantra would turn into 80,000 arrows. Arjun fought back against Karna shooting arrows, also by placing agnito mantra on them turning it into 60,000 arrows. Nakul and Shadev were helping Arjun shooting arrows with agnito mantra turning them into 5000. By shooting so many arrows, Karna made Arjun, Shadev and Nakul unconscious. 3) CAPACITY WITHOUT KRISHNA->>>> A) PERFORMANCE OF KARNA- Having said these words, the Suta's son of great valour, that hero, taking up his ancient and foremost of bows called Vijaya, stringed it and rubbed the string repeatedly. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08064.htm ( Strung the mighty 'Vijaya Bow' ) B) PERFORMANCE OF ARJUNA - Then Arjuna endeavoured to string his large, indestructible, celestial bow with some effort. He succeeded with great difficulty in stringing it, when the battle had become furious. http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m16/m16008.htm ( After death of Lord Krishna, Arjun failed to strung up his own 'Gandiva Bow'.. HAHAHAAAA.. LOL ) ~RESULT~ KARNA WAS ULTIMATE EXPERT IN COUNTERING 1000 KINDS OF ILLUSION.. ARJUN FAILED AGAINST NIKUMBHA... KARNA WAS ABLE TO SHOOT 80000 ARROWS AT A TIME.. ARJUNA WAS ABLE TO SHOOT 60000 ONLY... WITHOUT KRISHNA, KARNA STRUNG VIJAYA BOW WHEREAS ARJUN FAILED TO STRING HIS OWN BOW.. LOLWA.. HENCE RESULT IS CLEAR LIKE WATER
But without Sri Krishna any victory is hollow. In the end he helps Arjuna not Karna. It is a parabole about inner divine Krishna who helps those who surrender to him as mentioned in Gitaji, not about external victories on the material plane. Arjun may or may not have been jealous. Not likely since he has Krishna on his side. Karna was arrogant so lost in front of Krishna.
