TRANSLATION:

How can a weak brahmin string the bow which powerful warriors like Karna and Salya and others endued with might and accomplished in the science and practice of arms could not?

SO IT PROVES THAT KARNA FAILED IN SWAYAMWAR,DRAUPADI STOPPING HIM BY CALLING A SUTAPUTRA IS NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN SANSKRIT EDITION.

------------------------------------------------------------

Proof 2)AS PER GEETA PRESS-"WHEN ARJUN WAS ABOUT TO LIFT THE BOW,SOME CLEVER BRAHMINS SAID AMOUNG THEMSELVES-WHEN STRONG WARRIORS LIKE #KARNA AND SALYA AND WORLD FAMOUS KSHATRIYA FAILED,HOW COULD A WEAK BRAHMIN KID STRING THAT BOW"

(PROVES KARNA FAILED)

C)PROOF FROM C.Rajagopalachari's(RAJAJI'S TRANSLATION)

Narrative:

"When Karna came forward, all the assemblage expected that he would be successful but he failed by just a hair's breadth and the string slid back flashing and the mighty bow jumped out of his hands like a thing of life."

http://www.mahabharataonline.com/.../mahabharata_summary_18.p...

(THIS ALSO PROVES KARNA FAILED)

Kumbhakonam Edition Southern Edition

Whttp://sanskritdocuments.org/.../mbhK/mahabharata-k-01-sa.html

TRANSLATION:

Then the exultant Karna, the son of sun and also the son of suta, came to the vicinity of the bow, strung and mounted the arrow and discharged and missed by one hair-width. Karna, who is famous for strength in three worlds, was also vanquished by this test of
bow. All the kings were frightened by this defeat of Karna in the test of bow.

SO AS PER THE DAKSHINATYA EDITON OF MAHABHARAT ALSO KARNA FAILED.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

E)PROOFS FROM M.V. SUBRAMANIAN'S SUMMARY OF MAHABHARAT-

AADI PARVA SAPTAMAASAASVAASA(CHAPTER SEVEN):

The Svayamvara function started. All the kings, one by one, were coming and going. Nobody was able even to lift that mighty bow, leave alone hitting Matsya Yantra. Mighty Personalities like #Salya and #Karna also failed to hit Matsya Yantra.

Arjuna rose to his feet and walked towards the stage where the bow was kept. All the Brahmins gathered there surprised to see a Brahmin (Arjuna) going to hit Matsya Yantra. "Mighty Warriors like #Karna and #Salya could #not #hit Matsya Yantra. Why this rahmin youth is going there?

http://www.telugubhakti.com/.../mon.../mahabharat/mahabharat.htm

ITS CLEARLY MENTIONED THAT KARNA AND SALYA FAILED,NO MENTION OF DRAUPADI CALLING KARNA A SUTPUTRA ANYWHERE.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

F)PROOF FROM BORI CRITICAL EDITION-

Adi Parva Chapter 179

Yat Karna Salya pramukhairloka visrutaih..

http://sanskritdocuments.org/.../mahabhara.../unic/mbh01_sa.html

IT MEANS EVEN ARCHERS LIKE KARNA AND SALYA FAILED TO STRING THE BOW.

(AGAIN PROVES KARNA FAILED AND NO MENTION OF DRAUPADI CALLING KARNA A SUTA)
