Victories of Arjun over Karna-
---------------------
VICTORY #1
Narrative:
And then the mighty-
armed Partha cut off Karna's bow
into fragments. And Karna replied
by hurling a dart at his adversary,
but Arjuna cut it off by means of his
arrows. And then the warriors that
followed the son of Radha rushed in
crowds at Arjuna, but Partha sent
them all to the abode of Yama by
means of arrows shot from the
Gandiva. And Vibhatsu slew the
steeds of Karna by means of sharp
and tough arrows shot from the
bow-string drawn to the ear, and
deprived of life they dropped down
on the ground. And taking another
sharp and blazing arrow endued
with great energy, the mighty son of
Kunti pierced the breast of Kama.
And that arrow, cleaving through
his mail, penetrated into his body.
And at this, Karna's vision was
obscured and his senses left him.
And regaining consciousness, he felt
a great pain, and leaving the combat
fled in a northernly direction. And
at this, the mighty car-warrior
Arjuna and Uttara, both began to
address him contumely.'"

---------------------------
VICTORY #2
Narrative:
And he covered Karna's car with
countless shafts like the sun
covering the different worlds with
rays. And like a lion attacked by an
elephant, Arjuna, taking some keen
crescent-shaped arrows from out of
his quiver and drawing his bow to
his ear, pierced the Suta's son on
every part of his body. And that
grinder of foes pierced Karna's arms
and thighs and head and forehead
and neck and other principal parts
of his body with whetted shafts
endued with the impetuosity of the
thunderbolt and shot from the
Gandiva in battle. And mangled and
afflicted by the arrows shot by
Partha the son of Pandu, Vikartana's
son, quitted the van of battle, and
quickly took to flight, like one
elephant vanquished by another.'"

VICTORY #3
Narrative:
And,
lastly, he pierced Karna in the ear
with a bearded shaft. And when that
great bowmen Karna, skilled in all
weapons, was thus pierced, and his
horses and car and car-driver were
all destroyed, the troops that
supported him began to break.

---------------------------
VICTORY #4
Narrative:
And beholding
Duryodhana turn back with his
wounds, Karna, that hero among
men, decked with a golden necklace,
stopped the king on the way and
soothing him, himself proceeded
along the north of Duryodhana's car
to meet Partha in battle. And the
mighty-armed Bhishma also, the son
of Santanu, turning back his steeds
decked with gold, enormous in size,
and of tawny hue, rushed bow in
hand, for protecting Duryodhana
from Partha's hand. And Drona and
Kripa and Vivingsati and Dussasana
and others also, quickly turning
back, rushed forward with speed
with drawn bows and arrows fixed
on the bow-strings, for protecting
Duryodhana. And beholding those
divisions advance towards him like
the swelling surges of the ocean,
Dhananjaya, the son of Pritha,
quickly rushed at them like a crane
rushing at a descending cloud. And
with celestial weapons in their
hands, they completely surrounded
the son of Pritha and rained on him
from all sides a perfect shower of
shafts, like clouds showering on the
mountain breast a heavy downpour
of rain, And warding off with
weapons, all the weapons of those
bulls among the Kurus, the wielder
of the Gandiva who was capable of
enduring all foes, evolved another
irresistible weapon obtained from
Indra, called Sanmohana. And
entirely covering the cardinal and
other directions with sharp and
keen-edged arrows furnished with
beautiful feathers, that mighty hero
stupefied their senses with the
twang of the Gandiva.

VICTORY #5
Narrative:
Then the illustrious Arjuna
beholding Karna, the son of
Vikartana (Surya), advancing
towards him, drew his tough bow
and pieced him with his sharp
arrows. And the impetus of those
whetted arrows furnished with
fierce energy made Radheya (Karna)
faint. Recovering consciousness
Karna attacked Arjuna with greater
care than before. Then Karna and
Arjuna, both foremost of victorious
warriors, desirous of vanquishing
each other, fought madly on. And
such was the lightness of hand they
both displayed that (each enveloped
by the other's shower of arrows)
they both became invisible (unto the
spectators of their encounter).
'Behold the strength of my
arms.'--'Mark, how I have
counteracted that feat,'--those were
the words--intelligible to
heroes alone--in which they
addressed each other. And incensed
at finding the strength and energy
of Arjuna's arms unequalled on the
earth, Karna, the son of Surya,
fought with greater vigour. And
parrying all those impetuous arrows
shot at him by Arjuna, Karna sent
up a loud shout. And this feat of his
was applauded by all the warriors.
Then addressing his antagonist,
Karna said, 'O thou foremost of
Brahmanas, I am gratified to
observe the energy of thy arms that
knoweth no relaxation in battle and
thy weapons themselves fit for
achieving victory. Art thou the
embodiment of the science of
weapons, or art thou Rama that best
of Brahmanas, or Indra himself, or
Indra's younger brother Vishnu
called also Achyuta, who for
disguising himself hath assumed the
form of a Brahmana and mustering
such energy of arms fighteth with
me? No other person except the
husband himself of Sachi or Kiriti,
the son of Pandu, is capable of
fighting with me when I am angry
on the field of battle.' Then hearing
those words of his, Phalguna
replied, saying, 'O Karna, I am
neither the science of arms
(personified), nor Rama endued
with superhuman powers. I am only
a Brahmana who is the foremost of
all warriors and all wielders of
weapons. By the grace of my
preceptor I have become
accomplished in the Brahma and the
Paurandara weapons. I am here to
vanquish thee in battle. Therefore,
O hero, wait a little.'
"Vaisampayana continued, 'Thus
addressed (by Arjuna), Karna the
adopted son of Radha desisted from
the fight

VICTORY #6
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.'

---------------------------
VICTORY #7
Narrative:
"Sanjaya continued, 'Beholding the
son of Pandu rushing towards him like
an elephant towards a rival elephant,
Karna fearlessly proceeded
against Dhananjaya. Partha, however,
soon covered Karna who was thus
advancing with great impetuosity,
with showers of straight shafts,
equipped with wings of gold. Karna
also covered Vijaya with his shafts.
The son of Pandu then once more
shrouded Karna with clouds of arrows.
Then Karna, filled with rage, pierced
Arjuna with three shafts. The mighty
car-warrior, Arjuna, beholding Karna's
lightness of hand, could not brook it.
That scorcher of foes shot at the
Suta's son thirty straight shafts,
whetted on stone and equipped with
blazing points. Endued with great
might and energy, he also pierced
him, in rage, with another long arrow
on the wrist of his left arm, smiling
the while. Karna's bow then dropped
from that arm of his, which had thus
been pierced with great force. Then
the mighty Karna, taking up that bow
within the twinkling of an eye, once
more covered Phalguna with clouds of
shafts, displaying great lightness of
hard. Dhananjaya then, O Bharata,
smiling the while, baffled with his own
shafts, that arrowy shower shot by the
Suta's son. Approaching each other,
those two great bowmen, desirous of
counteracting each other's feats,
continued to cover each other with
showers of shafts. The battle that took
place between them, viz., Karna and
the son of Pandu, became exceedingly
wonderful, like that between the two
wild elephants for the sake of a she-
elephant in her season. Then the
mighty bowman Partha, beholding
Karna's prowess, quickly cut of the
latter's bow at the handle. And he also
despatched the four steeds of the
Suta's son to Yama's abode with a
number of broad-headed shafts. And
that scorcher of foes also cut off from
the trunk the head of Karna's driver.
Then, the son of Pandu and Pritha
pierced the bowless, the steedless,
and the driverless Karna with four
shafts. Then that bull among men
Karna, afflicted with those shafts,
specially jumping down from that
steedless car, mounted upon that of
Kripa. Beholding the son of Radha
vanquished, thy, warriors, O bull of
Bharata's race, fled away in all
directions.

---------------------------
VICTORY #8
Narrative:
Then the ape-bannered (Arjuna),
urged by Kesava, shot at the Suta's
son, O king, many shafts whetted on
stone. Those arrows adorned with
gold, shot by Partha's arms and
issuing out of Gandiva, entered
Karna's body, like cranes into the
Krauncha mountains. With those
arrows shot from Gandiva which
entered Karna's body like so many
snakes, Dhananjaya drove the Suta's
son from Bhimasena's vicinity. His
bow cut off by Bhima, and himself
afflicted with the arrows of
Dhananjaya, Karna quickly fled away
from Bhima on his great car.
Bhimasena also, O bull among men,
mounting upon Satyaki's car,
proceeded in that battle in the wake of
his brother Savyasachin, the son of
Pandu. Then Dhananjaya, with eyes
red in wrath, aiming at Karna, quickly
sped a shaft like the Destroyer urging
forward Death's self. That shaft shot
from Gandiva, like Garuda in the
welkin in quest of a mighty snake,
quickly coursed towards Karna. The
son of Drona, however, that mighty
car-warrior, with a winged arrow of
his, cut it off in mid-air, desirous of
rescuing Karna from fear of
Dhananjaya. Then Arjuna, excited with
wrath, pierced the son of Drona with
four and sixty arrows, O king, and
addressing him, said, 'Do not fly away,
O Aswathaman, but wait a moment.'
Drona's son, however, afflicted with
the shafts of Dhananjaya, quickly
entered a division of the Kaurava army
that abounded with infuriated
elephants and teemed with cars. The
mighty son of Kunti, then, with the
twang of Gandiva, drowned the noise
made in that battle by all other
twangings of bows, of shafts decked
with gold. Then, the mighty
Dhananjaya followed from behind the
son of Drona who had not retreated to
a great distance, frightening him all
the way with his shafts. Piercing with
his shafts, winged with the feathers of
Kankas and peacocks, the bodies of
men and elephants and steeds, Arjuna
began to grind that force. Indeed, O
chief of the Bharatas, Partha, the son
of Indra, began to exterminate that
host teeming with steeds and
elephants and men.'"

---------------------------
VICTORY #9
Narrative:
"Then the mighty-armed Phalguna, in
that battle, pierced Karna, the son of
Vikartana, in all his limbs with a
hundred arrows. All his limbs bathed
in blood, the Suta's son of great
prowess and bravery, pierced
Phalguna in return with fifty arrows.
Beholding that lightness of hand
displayed by him in battle, Arjuna
brooked it not. Cutting off his bow,
that hero, viz., Dhananjaya, the son of
Pritha, quickly pierced Karna in the
centre of the chest with nine arrows,
Then Dhananjaya, with great speed at
a time, when speed was necessary
shot in that battle a shaft of solar
effulgence for the destruction of
Karna. Drona's son, however, with a
crescent-shaped arrow, cut off that
shaft as it coursed impetuously
(towards Karna). Thus cut off by
Aswatthaman, that shaft fell down on
the earth. Endued with great prowess,
the Suta's son, then, O king, took up
another bow, and covered the son of
Pandu with several thousands of
arrows. Partha, however, like the wind
dispersing flight of locusts, dispelled
with his own arrows that extraordinary
shower of arrows issuing out of
Karna's bow. Then Arjuna, displaying
his lightness of hands, covered Karna,
in that battle, with his arrows, in the
very sight of all thy troops. Karna
also, that slayer of hosts, desirous of
counteracting Arjuna's feat, covered
Arjuna with several thousands of
arrows. Roaring at each other like two
bulls, those lions among men, those
mighty car-warriors, shrouded the
welkin with clouds of straight shafts.
Each rendered invisible by the other's
arrowy showers, they continued to
strike each other. And they roared at
each other and pierced each other
with their wordy darts, saying, 'I am
Partha, wait'--or, 'I am Karna, wait', O
Phalguna! Indeed these two heroes
fought with each other wonderfully,
displaying great activity and skill. And
the sight they presented was such
that other warriors became witnesses
of that battle. And applauded by
Siddhas, Charnas and Pannagas, they
fought with each other, O king, each
desirous of slaying the other. Then
Duryodhana, O king addressing thy
warriors, said, 'Carefully protect the
son of Radha! Without slaying Arjuna
he would not abstain from battle. Even
this is what Vrisha told me.'
Meanwhile, O monarch, beholding the
prowess of Karna, Arjuna, of white
steeds, with four shafts shot from the
bow-string drawn to the ear,
despatched the four steeds of Karna to
Yama's domain. And he also felled
with a broad-headed arrow, Karna's
charioteer from his niche in the car.
And he covered Karna himself with
clouds of shafts in the very sight of
thy son. Thus shrouded with arrows
the steedless and driverless Karna,
stupefied by that arrowy shower, knew
not what to do. Beholding him made
carless, Aswatthaman, O king, caused
him to ride on his car, and continued
to fight with Arjuna."

VICTORY #10
Narrative:
"The son of Drona struck Vasudeva
with three and seventy shafts, and
Arjuna himself with three broad-
headed shafts, and his standard and
(four) steeds with five others.
Beholding Janardana pierced, Arjuna,
filled with rage, struck Aswatthaman
with hundred shafts. Then piercing
Karna with ten arrows and Vrishasena
with three, the valiant Dhananjaya cut
off Salya's bow with arrows fixed on
the string, at the handle. Salya then,
taking up another bow, pierced the
son of Pandu. And Bhurisravas pierced
him with three arrows whetted on
stone, and equipped with golden
wings. And Karna pierced him with
two and thirty arrows, and Vrishasena
with seven. And Jayadratha pierced
Arjuna with three and seventy shafts
and Kripa pierced him with ten. And
the ruler of the Madras also pierced
Phalguna in that battle with ten
arrows. And the son of Drona pierced
him with sixty arrows. And he, once
more, pierced Partha with five arrows,
and Vasudeva with twenty. Then the
tiger among men, viz., Arjuna owning
white steeds and having Krishna for
his driver, pierced each of those
warriors in return, displaying the
lightness of his hand. Piercing Karna
with a dozen shafts and Vrishasena
with three, Partha cut off Salya's bow
at the handle. And piercing the son of
Somadatta with three arrows and Salya
with ten, he pierced Kripa with five
and twenty arrows, and the ruler of
the Sindhus with a hundred, Partha
struck Drona's son with seventy
arrows. Then Bhurisravas filled with
rage, cut off the goad in Krishna's
hand, and struck Arjuna with three
and twenty shafts. Then Dhananjaya,
of white steeds, filled with rage,
mangled those enemies of his with
hundreds upon hundreds of arrows,
like a mighty tempest tearing masses of clouds.'"

SUMMARY-
NUMBER OF TIMES ARJUN DEFEATED KARNA- #10
NUMBER OF TIMES KARNA DEFEATED ARJUN- #0
LOLZ,SCORES ARE RIGHT HERE,AND THE SCENARIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR,COMPLETE DOMINATION BY ARJUN OVER KARNA.
NOT EVEN A SINGLE DUEL WAS WON BY KARNA AGAINST ARJUN IN ENTIRE MAHABHARAT,LOL,AND HIS EVIL FOLLOWERS CALL HIM BETTER THAN ARJUN,ROFL :-D
THAT'S WHY SOME OBSESSEDKARNA FANS ARE TERMED AS 'BLIND KARNA FANS'.
THEY HAVE EYES,BUT THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
THEY HAVE EARS,BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR THE TRUTH.
THEY HAVE MOUTH,BUT THEY ONLY USE TO ABUSE.
ATLAST,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY,
KARNA NEVER WON BECAUSE HE ALWAYS WANTED TO DEFEAT ARJUN,WHILE ARJUN ALWAYS WON BECAUSE HIS MINDSET WAS VICTORY(NOT DEFEAT OF HIS OPPONENT)
IN HINDI-
KARNA KABHI JEET NAHI PAYA KYONKI VO HAMESHA ARJUN KO HARANE KI SOCHTA THA,AUR ARJUN HAMESHA JEETA KYONKI VO SIRF JEETNE KI SOCHTA THA.
(YOUR MENTALITY,THINKING AND ATTITUDE MATTERS,ALWAYS THINK AND BEHAVE POSITIVE)
SO THOSE BLIND KARNA FANS CAN NOW CRY AND SHOUT,BUT TRUTH REMAINS THE TRUTH.

those two great bowmen, desirous of
counteracting each other's feats,
continued to cover each other with
showers of shafts. The battle that took
place between them, viz., Karna and
the son of Pandu, became exceedingly
wonderful, like that between the two
wild elephants for the sake of a she-
elephant in her season. Then the
mighty bowman Partha, beholding
Karna's prowess, quickly cut of the
latter's bow at the handle. And he also
despatched the four steeds of the
Suta's son to Yama's abode with a
number of broad-headed shafts. And
that scorcher of foes also cut off from
the trunk the head of Karna's driver.
Then, the son of Pandu and Pritha
pierced the bowless, the steedless,
and the driverless Karna with four
shafts. Then that bull among men
Karna, afflicted with those shafts,
specially jumping down from that
steedless car, mounted upon that of
Kripa. Beholding the son of Radha
vanquished, thy, warriors, O bull of
Bharata's race, fled away in all
directions.

VICTORY #8
Narrative:
Then the ape-bannered (Arjuna),
urged by Kesava, shot at the Suta's
son, O king, many shafts whetted on
stone. Those arrows adorned with
gold, shot by Partha's arms and
issuing out of Gandiva, entered
Karna's body, like cranes into the
Krauncha mountains. With those
arrows shot from Gandiva which
entered Karna's body like so many
snakes, Dhananjaya drove the Suta's
son from Bhimasena's vicinity. His
bow cut off by Bhima, and himself
afflicted with the arrows of
Dhananjaya, Karna quickly fled away
from Bhima on his great car.
Bhimasena also, O bull among men,
mounting upon Satyaki's car,
proceeded in that battle in the wake of
his brother Savyasachin, the son of
Pandu. Then Dhananjaya, with eyes
red in wrath, aiming at Karna, quickly
sped a shaft like the Destroyer urging
forward Death's self. That shaft shot
from Gandiva, like Garuda in the
welkin in quest of a mighty snake,
quickly coursed towards Karna. The
son of Drona, however, that mighty
car-warrior, with a winged arrow of
his, cut it off in mid-air, desirous of
rescuing Karna from fear of
Dhananjaya. Then Arjuna, excited with
wrath, pierced the son of Drona with
four and sixty arrows, O king, and
addressing him, said, 'Do not fly away,
O Aswathaman, but wait a moment.'
Drona's son, however, afflicted with
the shafts of Dhananjaya, quickly
entered a division of the Kaurava army
that abounded with infuriated
elephants and teemed with cars. The
mighty son of Kunti, then, with the
twang of Gandiva, drowned the noise
made in that battle by all other
twangings of bows, of shafts decked
with gold. Then, the mighty
Dhananjaya followed from behind the
son of Drona who had not retreated to
a great distance, frightening him all
the way with his shafts. Piercing with
his shafts, winged with the feathers of
Kankas and peacocks, the bodies of
men and elephants and steeds, Arjuna
began to grind that force. Indeed, O
chief of the Bharatas, Partha, the son
of Indra, began to exterminate that
host teeming with steeds and
elephants and men.'"

VICTORY #9
Narrative:
"Then the mighty-armed Phalguna, in
that battle, pierced Karna, the son of
Vikartana, in all his limbs with a
hundred arrows. All his limbs bathed
in blood, the Suta's son of great
prowess and bravery, pierced
Phalguna in return with fifty arrows.
Beholding that lightness of hand
displayed by him in battle, Arjuna
brooked it not. Cutting off his bow,
that hero, viz., Dhananjaya, the son of
Pritha, quickly pierced Karna in the
centre of the chest with nine arrows,
Then Dhananjaya, with great speed at
a time, when speed was necessary
shot in that battle a shaft of solar
effulgence for the destruction of
Karna. Drona's son, however, with a
crescent-shaped arrow, cut off that
shaft as it coursed impetuously
(towards Karna). Thus cut off by
Aswatthaman, that shaft fell down on
the earth. Endued with great prowess,
the Suta's son, then, O king, took up
another bow, and covered the son of
Pandu with several thousands of
arrows. Partha, however, like the wind
dispersing flight of locusts, dispelled
with his own arrows that extraordinary
shower of arrows issuing out of
Karna's bow. Then Arjuna, displaying
his lightness of hands, covered Karna,
in that battle, with his arrows, in the
very sight of all thy troops. Karna
also, that slayer of hosts, desirous of
counteracting Arjuna's feat, covered
Arjuna with several thousands of
arrows. Roaring at each other like two
bulls, those lions among men, those
mighty car-warriors, shrouded the
welkin with clouds of straight shafts.
Each rendered invisible by the other's
arrowy showers, they continued to
strike each other. And they roared at
each other and pierced each other
with their wordy darts, saying, 'I am
Partha, wait'--or, 'I am Karna, wait', O
Phalguna! Indeed these two heroes
fought with each other wonderfully,
displaying great activity and skill. And
the sight they presented was such
that other warriors became witnesses
of that battle. And applauded by
Siddhas, Charnas and Pannagas, they
fought with each other, O king, each
desirous of slaying the other. Then
Duryodhana, O king addressing thy
warriors, said, 'Carefully protect the
son of Radha! Without slaying Arjuna
he would not abstain from battle. Even
this is what Vrisha told me.'
Meanwhile, O monarch, beholding the
prowess of Karna, Arjuna, of white
steeds, with four shafts shot from the
bow-string drawn to the ear,
despatched the four steeds of Karna to
Yama's domain. And he also felled
with a broad-headed arrow, Karna's
charioteer from his niche in the car.
And he covered Karna himself with
clouds of shafts in the very sight of
thy son. Thus shrouded with arrows
the steedless and driverless Karna,
stupefied by that arrowy shower, knew
not what to do. Beholding him made
carless, Aswatthaman, O king, caused
him to ride on his car, and continued
to fight with Arjuna."

VICTORY #10
Narrative:
"The son of Drona struck Vasudeva
with three and seventy shafts, and
Arjuna himself with three broad-
headed shafts, and his standard and
(four) steeds with five others.
Beholding Janardana pierced, Arjuna,
filled with rage, struck Aswatthaman
with hundred shafts. Then piercing
Karna with ten arrows and Vrishasena
with three, the valiant Dhananjaya cut
off Salya's bow with arrows fixed on
the string, at the handle. Salya then,
taking up another bow, pierced the
son of Pandu. And Bhurisravas pierced
him with three arrows whetted on
stone, and equipped with golden
wings. And Karna pierced him with
two and thirty arrows, and Vrishasena
with seven. And Jayadratha pierced
Arjuna with three and seventy shafts
and Kripa pierced him with ten. And
the ruler of the Madras also pierced
Phalguna in that battle with ten
arrows. And the son of Drona pierced
him with sixty arrows. And he, once
more, pierced Partha with five arrows,
and Vasudeva with twenty. Then the
tiger among men, viz., Arjuna owning
white steeds and having Krishna for
his driver, pierced each of those
warriors in return, displaying the
lightness of his hand. Piercing Karna
with a dozen shafts and Vrishasena
with three, Partha cut off Salya's bow
at the handle. And piercing the son of
Somadatta with three arrows and Salya
with ten, he pierced Kripa with five
and twenty arrows, and the ruler of
the Sindhus with a hundred, Partha
struck Drona's son with seventy
arrows. Then Bhurisravas filled with
rage, cut off the goad in Krishna's
hand, and struck Arjuna with three
and twenty shafts. Then Dhananjaya,
of white steeds, filled with rage,
mangled those enemies of his with
hundreds upon hundreds of arrows,
like a mighty tempest tearing masses of clouds.'"

SUMMARY-
NUMBER OF TIMES ARJUN DEFEATED KARNA- #10
NUMBER OF TIMES KARNA DEFEATED ARJUN- #0
LOLZ,SCORES ARE RIGHT HERE,AND THE SCENARIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR,COMPLETE DOMINATION BY ARJUN OVER KARNA.
NOT EVEN A SINGLE DUEL WAS WON BY KARNA AGAINST ARJUN IN ENTIRE MAHABHARAT,LOL,AND HIS EVIL FOLLOWERS CALL HIM BETTER THAN ARJUN,ROFL :-D
THAT'S WHY SOME OBSESSEDKARNA FANS ARE TERMED AS 'BLIND KARNA FANS'.
THEY HAVE EYES,BUT THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
THEY HAVE EARS,BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR THE TRUTH.
THEY HAVE MOUTH,BUT THEY ONLY USE TO ABUSE.
ATLAST,I WOULD LIKE TO SAY,
KARNA NEVER WON BECAUSE HE ALWAYS WANTED TO DEFEAT ARJUN,WHILE ARJUN ALWAYS WON BECAUSE HIS MINDSET WAS VICTORY(NOT DEFEAT OF HIS OPPONENT)
IN HINDI-
KARNA KABHI JEET NAHI PAYA KYONKI VO HAMESHA ARJUN KO HARANE KI SOCHTA THA,AUR ARJUN HAMESHA JEETA KYONKI VO SIRF JEETNE KI SOCHTA THA.
(YOUR MENTALITY,THINKING AND ATTITUDE MATTERS,ALWAYS THINK AND BEHAVE POSITIVE)
SO THOSE BLIND KARNA FANS CAN NOW CRY AND SHOUT,BUT TRUTH REMAINS THE TRUTH.
~~~SHUBH DEEPAWALI TO ALL MEMBERS~~~
JAI DHANANJAYA
JAI SHRI KRISHNA
HAR HAR MAHADEV
