Oh shrishti, in starbharat karna was not dronas student at all.
Which was a distortion, since no one who claims parshuram was karnas only teacher provides any citation from any translation, southern,northern, critical e.
In adi parva, it is mentioned that radhas son learnt archery with kaurva,pandava,yadu vrishni princes and duri used to encourage him to spite the pandavas esp. Arjuna.
When karna gate crashed the rangbhumi event, all knew who he was.

I haven't seen the MB chronology - will have to look it up - couldn't find the link on hindunet.org - do you have the link? I don't think it unlikely that the Pandavas stayed @ Hastinapur while Indraprastha was being built.

26. Pandavas were recieved in Hastinapur on Virodhikrithu Maagha Bright 2nd Day and were granted half-Kingdom. They stayed in Hastinapur for 5 years and 6 months, upto Pingala Shravana Bright 2nd Day. Yudhishthira was yrs. 45-9-27 days old. Indrapratha City was being built during this period.

27. Yudhisthira was coronated on Pingala Ashwayuja Bright 10th Day. He was then 46-0 years old.

28. Arjuna went on pilgrimage for 12 years. He started in Kalayukthi and returned in Pramodhoota. He married Subhadra on Pramodhoota Vaishakh Bright 10th Day. Abhimanya was born in the year Pramodhoota.

29. Draupadi had one son each from her 5 Pandava husbands.

30. The Khandava Forest was burnt down after Pramodhoota Shravana Bright 2nd Day. Yudhishtira was yrs. 58-10-15 days old. Mayasabha took yrs. 1-2-0 days for construction.

31.Panadavas entered Mayasabha on Prajopatthi Ashwayuja Bright 10th Day. Yudhisthira was years 60-0-5 days old.

32. Rule in Indraprastha for 16 years, upto Sarvajit Ashwayuja Bright 10th day. Yudhishthira was yrs. 76-0-5 days old.

33. Wrestling started between Bhima and Jarasandha on Sarvajit Kartika Bright 2nd Day. It continued for 14 days, and Jarasandha was killed on 14th evening.

Bibrek debroy has completed the translation?, University of chicago is also p0ublishing a translation in English based on the CE.

R.C dutt also did a translation and later P.lal did a complete translation of poetric translation of R.Cdutt, But is this unabridged?

Clay sanskrt libarary is also doing a translation ( 15 volumes done of 32) not based on the critical edition but on the version known to a famous scholar named Nilkantha.

Are there any other unabrigded translations in Hindi or bengali?

agree medha but one more doubt in kmg when karna showed up at rangbhoomi did everybody recognize him" oh its our old buddy from gurukul" ?

p. 288

of the Asura, Paka (Indra), saying, 'O Partha, I shall perform feats before this gazing multitude; excelling all thou hast performed! Beholding them, thou shall be amazed.' And, O thou best of those blest with speech, he had hardly done when the spectators stood up all at once, uplifted by some instrument, as it were. And, O tiger among men, Duryodhana was filled with delight, while Vibhatsu was instantly all abashment and anger. Then with the permission of Drona, the mighty Karna, delighting in battle, there did all that Partha had done before. And, O Bharata, Duryodhana with his brothers thereupon embraced Karna in joy and then addressed him saying, 'Welcome O mighty-armed warrior! I have obtained thee by good fortune, O polite one! Live thou as thou pleasest, and command me, and the kingdom of the Kurus.' Kama replied, 'When thou hast said it, I regard it as already accomplished. I only long for thy friendship. And, O lord, my wish is even for a single combat with Arjuna.' Duryodhana said, 'Do thou with me enjoy the good things of life! Be thou the benefactor of thy friend, and, O represser of enemies, place thou thy feet on the heads of all foes."
