A VERY IMPORTANT TRUTH ABOUT KARNA'S "BRAVERY"

DURYODHANA (SUYODHANA) ACCEPTED NOBODY IS EQUAL TO ARJUNA IN ARCHERY NOT EVEN HIS OWN BEST FRIEND KARNA:

NARRATIVE:

"Sanjaya said, Upon the fall, O king, of the ruler of the Sindhus, thy son Suyodhana, his face bedewed with tears, and himself filled with grief and breathing hot sighs like a snake whose fangs have been broken, that offender against the whole world, viz., thy son, experienced bitter affliction. Beholding that great terrible slaughter of his troops caused by Jishnu and Bhimasena and Satwata in battle, he became pale, dejected and melancholy, and his eyes became filled with tears. And he came to think no warrior existed on the earth that could be compared with Arjuna. Neither #Drona, nor the #son #of #Radha, nor #Aswatthaman, nor #Kripa, O sire, is competent to stand before #Arjuna when the latter is excited with #wrath, And Suyodhana, said unto himself, 'Having vanquished in battle all the mighty car-warriors of my army, Partha slew the ruler of the Sindhus. None could resist him. This my vast host hath almost been exterminated by the Pandavas. I think, there is no one that can protect my army, no, not even Purandara himself.

He, relying upon whom I have been engaged in this passage-at-arms in battle, alas, that #Karna hath been #defeated in battle and Jayadratha slain. That Karna relying upon whose energy I regarded Krishna as straw who came to sue me for peace, alas, that Karna hath been #vanquished in battle.'

SANSKRIT TEXTS (BORI CRITICAL)-

  1 [स]
      सैन्धवे निहते राजन पुत्रस तव सुयॊधनः
      अश्रुक्लिन्न मुखॊ दीनॊ निरुत्साहॊ दविषज जये
      अमन्यतार्जुन समॊ यॊधॊ भुवि न विद्यते
  2 न दरॊणॊ न च राधेयॊ नाश्वत्थामा कृपॊ न च
      करुद्धस्य परमुखे सथातुं पर्याप्ता इति मारिष
  3 निर्जित्य हि रणे पार्थः सर्वान मम महारथान
      अवधीत सैन्धवं संख्ये नैनं कश चिद अवारयत
  4 सर्वथा हतम एवैतत कौरवाणां महद बलम
      न हय अस्य विद्यते तरात साक्षाद अपि पुरंदरः
  5 यम उपाश्रित्य संग्रामे कृतः शस्त्रसमुद्यमः
      स कर्णॊ निर्जितः संख्ये हतश चैव जयद्रथः
  6 परुषाणि सभामध्ये परॊक्तवान यः सम पाण्डवान
      स कर्णॊ निर्जितः संख्ये सैन्धवश च निपातितः
  7 यस्य वीर्यं समाश्रित्य शमं याचन्तम अच्युतम
      तृणवत तम अहं मन्ये स कर्णॊ निर्जितॊ युधि
