Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Part C

 Karna has been turned away from each teacher because he was a charioteer’s son. Karna learned form Parshuram all about art of war. He taught him the highest secrets. One day a scorpion stung him but remained silent so he wouldn’t wake his teacher. This caused Parshuram to turn him away since no Brahum could remain silent. Parshuram even cursed him saying that the day he needed these skills he would forget them. 

Arjuna displayed his archery skills, which impressed everyone.  Karna out showed Arjuna. However, since Karna was not invited he was not declared victor. The Pandavas laughed at him after finding out he was not of royal blood. However, their teacher declared him a king and the padavas mom Kunti fainted after hearing his story. 

Drona became poor with his wife and children. He remembered a childhood friend promised him a share of kingdom once he became king. He went to see the king and the king laughed at him and kicked him out. 

Bhim seems like a one-man show. He is massive and super strong. He carried all his brothers and mothers for miles without resting. He then went to go find water for them while they rested.  He even killed Bakasur by himself. Something no one else dared to do.
