UNKNOWN FACT OF MAHABHARATA :- KARNA ATTENDED HELL UNLIKE ARJUNA

It's a great misconception among many people that Karna directly attended Suryaloka and Arjuna needed to visit hell first to attend Vaikuntha but reality is completely opposite as it was Karna who first attended hell before going to Suryaloka and Arjuna directly attended Vaikuntha.

1). KARNA ATTENDING HELL :-

Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE :-

Svargarohana Parva Section 3:-

" Listen to my words. O son!
3 THERE IS NO
DOUBT THAT ALL THE KINGS MUST SEE HELL. O bull among men! There are accumulations of good and bad
deeds. "

Here it's clearly written that it's a strict rule that all the Kings should see hell first. Since Karna was the King of Anga so it's clear that he also visited hell

2). MISCONCEPTION ABOUT ARJUNA VISITING HELL

Here's the narrative which is used by some people to prove that Arjuna also visited hell

Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE :-

Svargarohana Parva Section 3 :-

" You also saw
Bhima, Partha,
6
the twins and Krishna Droupadi, as if they had gone to hell. However, that was an act
of deceit "

First of all I would like to ask all those people who conclude that Arjuna visited hell on the basis of this narrative that where it's written Bhima, Arjuna, Draupadi, Nakula and Sehdeva attended hell. It's written that Yudhishthira saw them AS IF THEY ATTENDED HELL BUT IT WAS AN ACT OF DECEIT. So it's clear like water that Bhima, Arjuna, Draupadi, Nakula and Sehdeva never attended hell but Yudhishthira saw them because Indra used a deceitful technique to show that.

Conclusion :- Karna attended hell before going to Suryaloka unlike Arjuna who directly attended Vaikuntha

Failure of Karna in Draupadi Syamwara

Failure of Karna in Draupadi swayamvar from direct reference :- Karna came to participate in Draupadi swayamvar :- Adi Parva Section-177 ‘Dhrishtadyumna said, “Duryodhana, Durvisaha, Durmukha, Dushpradharshana, Vivimshati, Vikarna, Saha, Duhshasana, Sama, Yuyutsu, Vatavega, Bhimavegadhara, Ugrayudha, Balaki, Kanakayu, Virochana, Sukundula, Chitrasena, Suvarcha, Kanakadhvaja, Nandaka, Bahushali, Kunduja and Vikata—these and others are the immensely powerful sons of Dhritarashtra. These warriors have come with Karna for your hand. This narrative clearly says that Kauravas has come with Karna to participate in the swayamvar Excuse of Karna fans :- The narrative says that Karna only came with Kauravas but it doesn't prove that he came along to participate in the swayamvar Disrobing :- Professor V.S Sukthankar the editor of Adi Parva of BORI CE himself accepted that Dhrishtadymna was telling the name of competitors not guests. Here's the statement of Prof. V.S Suk...

It's a big misconception that Arjuna killed Karna by cheating and by using unfair means but according to BORI CE which is the most authentic version of Vaisampayana Mahabharata, Arjuna killed Karna in a fair fight.All the references provided here are from Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE 1 ). MISCONCEPTION :- Arjuna killed an unarmed Karna who was lifting the wheel of his chariot Here's the description of Arjuna killing Karna from actual event of Karna Parva :- KARNA PARVA Section-67 “On seeing this, Karna again invoked brahmastra against Dhananjaya. He showered down arrows and tried to extricate his chariot. Pandava countered those weapons with his own weapons. Kounteya then released another weapon, beloved of the fire god, towards Karna. It blazed fiercely. Karna pacified the fire through a varuna weapon. He covered all the directions with clouds and it was as dark as a rainy day. Pandaveya was not frightened. While Radheya looked on, the valiant one used the v...

Victory of Pradyumna over Karna in battle

Pradyumna and Karna never fought in Mahabharata but according to Harivamsha which is the Khila Parva of Mahabharata Pradyumna was far superior warrior to Karna. Here's the proof that Harivamsa is also a part of original Mahabharata :- Bibek Debroy translation of BORI CE, Section-2 ‘These are the contents of the eighteen parvas. The appendices are known as Hari Vamsha127 and Bhavishya.128 Thus the entire contents of Bharata are described in the chapter known as Parva Sangraha. Eighteen akshouhinis of soldiers came together to fight and the battle raged for eighteen days." Here Ugrasava Sauti clearly said that Harvamsa Purana is a part of the epic DEFEAT OF KARNA BY PRADYUMNA :- pramathya tarasA karNaM yatantaM raNamUrdhani | jagrAha balavAnkArShNiH prasphurantaM tatastataH || 2-84-47 the powerful son of kR^iShNa, (pradyumna), at the front of the battle, oppressed karNa who was trying hard for victory in the battlefield and caught him, who was struggling. ...
