Any citations of the Critical edition where it says that Karna failed at Draupadi's swayamvar?, Its funny when KMG glorifies Karna,"people" say that KMG had a soft corner for Karna.

The Blessed Lord said:

Brahman is the Imperishable, the Transcendental and Eternal Supreme One; He is also called the Self in embodied beings; actions are result oriented and seeking' activities that create karma, and cause the existence and manifestation of beings, and which also sustains them.

and who is mahavishnu? is he same as vishnu?while reading adiparva there was one vishnu I came to know abt.he was 8th or youngest son of (I dont remember name).if we go by that description if both vishnu are same then how come he is considered supreme god?

I think its upto people what they believe. story would have been modified so many times that it contradicts itself

Actually, people here were claiming that Karna failed in the CE, Thats why i wanted some sort of citiation.In the CE, Draupadi rejected him before he could lift the bow or he even didnt take part?

@sristhisingh

I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your question ( vrish or varaali will answer it correctly ) ,but i had the same question that who between Krishna and Vishnu is superior. If you believe in ISKCON( hare krishna hare rama) then Krishna would be the supreme being, because I often see that the Bhagwad gita by ISKCON has been altered according to their belief, All except Hare rama members believe Krishna was an avatar of Vishnu the supreme being, Since Krishna was a purna-avatar of vishnu, it was Vishnu himself in a human form, The famous phrase in Bhagwad gita " Krsna tu swayam Bhagwanam" states that Krishna was the Purna avatar of Vishnu, That is , Being Vishnu himself, This phrase is used by Hare krishna members to prove that Krishna was the source and not Vishnu ( Only ISKCON people believe it ).

Maha-Vishnu is Vishnu's original form and the most powerful form, it consists the whole universe and every god, Divine sight is needed to see that form ( Which Krishna gave to Arjuna)
