When Krishna the lord of Universe offers Karna the lordship of the World to

leave Duryodhan and side with Pandavas .

 

Karn said – " You are right, Krishn, I now know that whatever you have said to me

that Kuntee bore me when she was a maiden through her connection with Soorya.

At the command of Soorya she abandoned me as soon as I was born without thinking

of my welfare. Soot Adhirath found me and took me home. There his wife Raadhaa

brought me up with all her affection. Adhirath gave me the name Vasusen. When I

grew up, I married the wives according to his selections. I have now sons

grandsons through them. My all rites and religious duties are performed with

Soot. With Duryodhan I have enjoyed sovereignty for over 13 years. Now when

Duryodhan has decided to fight with Paandav considering me as against Arjun, I

cannot go back because of fear, death or bloodshed. If I do not indulge with

Arjun in single combat, it will be an insult to both of us.

 

I am sure that Paandav will do whatever you have said but for now, you must hide

this for the benefit of both of us. Let Yudhishthir be king for ever. He has

collected a great crowd of warriors. I am repenting for what I said to Paandav.

Duryodhan is going to do a Yagya. When you will see me slain by Arjun then

Punachiti of this Yagya will begin, when you will see Bheem drinking the blood

of Dushaasan's chest then the Som drinking of this Yagya will take place, and

when the two sons of Drupad – Shikhandee and Drishtdyumn will overthrow Bheeshm

and Drone, then this Yagya will be suspended for interval. When Bheem will kill

Duryodhan then the Yagya of Duryodhan will be concluded. When all Kuru women

will lament for their husbands and sons in the battlefield without their

protector, it will be the last bath of this Yagya. [ Karna predicts the future ]

 

I just pray you that don't let these Kshatriya be perished miserably for thy

sake. Let them die by weapons in the most sacred place among the three worlds.

Whatever you have in mind, accomplish it on this spot only. Till I face Arjun in

the field, keep our talks secret. "

 

Krishn said – " O Karn, Don't you wish to rule over the whole world? You know

that Paandav's victory is certain. Divine Bhaum has set up Hanumaan banner like

Indra's banner. Extended for one Yojan it will never be obstructed by any thing.

When Arjun will twang his bow then that signs off all Yug (Sat, Tretaa and

Dwapar). All kings will get excellent state after dying for Duryodhan in the

battlefield. " Karn worshipped Krishn and said – " Knowing everything why do you

want to baffle me? This war is going to happen. The great fierce planet Shani

(Saturn) is afflicting the Nakshatra Rohinee which indicates the destruction on

Prithvi. Mars is coming to Nakshatra Anuraadhaa through Jyeshthaa indicating a

great a slaughter of friends. Certainly a great calamity will come over Kuru

family when the planet Mahaapat will afflicts the Nakshatra Chitraa. Moon's

position has changed and Raahu is also proceeding towards Soorya. A black circle

surrounding the solar disc appears to view. " [ Karna's command on astrology can

be seen here ]

 

Krishn said – " Yes, The destruction of the world is at hand but you are not

agreeing for it. " Karn said – " If we have come out of the war then we will meet

here again, otherwise we shall surely meet in Heaven. " and embraced Krishn very

hard. Keshav dismissed him and he came back with us. "

 

 

 

Kunti went to Gangaa River where she heard Vedic mantra chanting by her son.

Karn was standing facing east, so Kuntee stood waiting behind him burning in hot

Sun. Then she shifted under the shade of upper cloth of Karn. And Karn continued

his prayers until his back was very hot with Sun. Then he turned back and was

surprised to see Kuntee standing there. He saluted her properly and bowing his

head Vrish (Karn), the son of Vikartan (Adhirath), said to her – " I am Karn,

Raadhaa and Adhirath's sson. Why have you come here and what can I do for you? "

 

Kuntee said – " You are Kuntee's son, not Raadhaa's, nor your father is Adhirath,

nor you are born in a Soot family. I bore you when I was a maiden. You were born

in the palace of Kuntibhoj. I gave you birth in my father's house along with

Kavach and Kundal on your body. You stand in Duryodhan's camp not knowing your

brothers, is not proper. Duryodhan has wickedly snatched Yudhishthir's wealth.

You take that wealth back from them and enjoy it. Let people call you like Raam

Balraam. If you both are united what is in this world which cannot be

accomplished? "

 

As Kuntee finished, Karn heard a soft loving voice coming from Soorya – " What

Prithaa is saying is true. Follow her words, it is for your good. " Karn could

not answer immediately because his heart was following only truth. He said – " I

cannot accept what you have said to me. Although I should obey you as you are my

mother. You abandoned me as soon as I was born. This was the greatest injury you

did to my life and fame. Thus I was deprived of all the rights of Kshatriya. You

have never thought about my good before this and you are telling me something

for my good today? Who is not afraid of Arjun? And if I go to Paandav today,

people will say that " I did so because of fright " . Just to fulfill my own

desires how can I leave Duryodhan's friendship? They always respect me, bow down

to me and wait on me. I will surely fight with Paandav. However except Arjun,

your other four sons will not be slain by me. I will fight only with Arjun.

Whether he will be slain, or me, in both cases my life will be glorified and

your five sons will always be alive. "

Points to be noted in the above speech by Karna ;

 

* Karna Knew he was going to be slained by ARJUN

* Karna had complete knowledge of the Planetary scenario at the MAhabharata

WAR , he was great astrologer as he completely predicts the future about Bheem

slaying Kauravs .

* Karna was chanting Vedic mantra [ Only higher caste chant VEdic mantra ,

Karna was not considered Low born as depicted ,soota is not low caste or

untouchable]

* One's birth is not alone important in determining caste as much as His

Sanskara , Karna had sanskara as SOOTA ,mark Karna's words , and hence He

remained a SOOTA all along even if Duryodhan gave him Kingdom, even if he was

born a Kshatriya . This was the point made in Vidyapradarshan BY BHEESHMA ,

when he objected to Arjun fighting Karna . That a Kshatriya should not fight

with Soota at the competition .

* Karna admits to Duryodhan's Soverignty to as recent as 13 years and Not

from the day He was made the King . why?

 

* Karna was made the King when Yudhisthir and Duryodhan were around 25 years

of Age .

* Then intermittently pandavas suffered treason in Varnavat .

* Then they were married in disguise .

* When Pandavas went to Vanvas , Yudhisthir was 57 years old .

* When they came back Yudhisthir was 70 years old .

* So Karna should have told 50 years of soverignty , why 13 years .

* because After Raajsooya Yagnya his Kingdom was snatched by BHEEMASEN and

given back to him after his acceptance of soverignty of Yudhisthir .

* The kingdom of Yudhisthir was usurped in dice by Duryodhan and hence 13

years of soverignty .

 

# Karna is persuaded by Lord ,but to only Fight Arjun he refuses Krishna's

Proposal [ Lord's command is not so important for him than his prestige [ego]

that he will be declared coward . Lord could have as well made him a hero had he

accepted , NO faith ! ]

# Karna is persuaded by Kunti and SOORYA . He admits he must obey them but

cannot for the desire of Fighting Arjun . Karna does not grant what his MOTHER

asks for , only for his good ! [ DAANVEER of no use to MOTHER ].
