On a bright day when Karna visited Hastinapur, Duryodhana suddenly wanted to go on a leisure trip and hunting expedition to the Dwitavana forest.He invited some of his soldiers, his wife, Karna, Shakuni, and a few of his younger siblings to join in the event.They had fun hunting until nearing midday when Duryodhana saw a large, clean lake. He suddenly felt like swimming there.Some soldiers were called to guard the lake.Soon after, the sent soldiers returned battered and bruised. "What happened?" asked Duryodhana.A soldier reported that some Gandharva creatures prevented them from entering the lake because it was in use.When they tried to force their way in, Gandharva soldiers appeared and attacked them.Gandharvas are celestial beings who work as singers and dancers for the gods.Sometimes they act as messengers between gods and humans.Despite this, they are fierce fighters who use various magic and illusions to defeat their enemies.Upon hearing this, Karna immediately said, "

In the 13th year of the Pandavas' exile, Duryodhana launched a massive search for them. This was his only chance to send the Pandavas back into exile for another 13 years. According to intelligence, the Pandavas were disguised and hiding in the kingdom of Virata. Duryodhana led his entire army, including Bhisma, Drona, Kripa, Karna, and Vidura, to surround the kingdom of Virata and force the Pandavas out.At that time, King Matsya was engaged in attacking another kingdom, so his son, Uttara, led the troops to face the Kuru kingdom's forces. Arjuna, disguised as Uttara's charioteer and using the name Brihannala, was with them. When the two armies faced each other, Uttara got scared and fled from his chariot, prompting Arjuna to chase after him. This forced Arjuna to reveal his identity and tell Uttara that he was Arjuna so Uttara would agree to confront the Kuru forces again.Uttara asked for clarification from Arjuna, leading the hidden Pandavas in the kingdom to reveal themselves. Yu

On a night after Krishna's return from the kingdom of Anga and his promise not to reveal Karna's true identity to the Pandavas, Karna dreamt of being visited by a knight who was very gallant and radiant."Karna," the knight smiled, "Do you know? In truth, Lord Indra has interfered greatly in worldly matters for his son, Arjuna.""I did not know," replied Karna."He once disguised himself as a scorpion to sting you while you were with your guru Parashurama, causing you to receive a curse.""...,"The knight looked at Karna's reaction and continued, "He also transformed into a large bee that stung a gentle cow to attack you in a forest. That's how you killed the cow and received a second curse."Karna fell silent, realizing the reason the cow suddenly turned wild and attacked him."Are you angry?" the knight asked. "Lord Indra has done many things to support his son, Arjuna, while your father, Lord Surya, has not helped you at all.""What has happened, let it pass," Karna said. "And you

Bhisma's fall surprised everyone, including Duryodhana."I never expected Arjuna, the revered hero, to use a woman as an archer and shoot Bhisma, who had laid down his arms!" exclaimed Duryodhana. "What kind of hero is that!"Nevertheless, Duryodhana had to accept the outcome. Although Bhisma hadn't died—because he had vowed not to die until he saw the end result of the battle—he could no longer lead the Kaurava army. He immediately called upon Drona to take command of the Kaurava forces.In the battle led by Drona, Karna was once again denied permission to join by Drona."I don't want my victory to be because of him. I don't need him," replied Drona.Karna understood the clear animosity between them, so he agreed and did not participate in the battle.Drona displayed impressive prowess, and the Pandavas could not withstand him. However, Drona still showed affection for his disciples, the Pandavas, and did not unleash his full strength against them.As a result, the battle ended with

Then he shot at the crown hanging above Yudhishthira's head, causing the crown to be thrown away. Without a weapon in his hand and an arrow aimed at him, Karna approached him and said, "Be a good king." Karna then left Yudhishthira without harming him.Karna's chariot continued to move around the battlefield, and when he found Nakula, he shot arrows at Nakula's chariot and the horses. This forced the man to leave his chariot, and Karna passed by, saying, "Practice again."Next, Karna encountered Bhima. His fierce brother tried to attack him. Karna shot dozens of arrows that broke Bhima's bow and the mace thrown by Bhima. However, Bhima continued to chase him with his chariot until Karna had to destroy the chariot's wheels with his arrows.After his chariot was damaged, Bhima quickly left it and chased Karna on foot. Karna shot arrows that stripped Bhima of his armor, causing his brother to run bare-chested, hoping Bhima would stop chasing him. However, Bhima, consumed by anger, seemed
