Karna was given lesson by Drona?? when? i didn't read this in vyasa?


Well i received this knowledge not from statue but my teachers Diala and Sabhayata. 😃 I did not know this earlier either. thats why it made sense for him to fight drupad for gurudakshina.

Ekalavya i am not sure whether really was as ambitious as Karna to obtain divine weapons (i feel he is far more greater than both Karna-Arjun) he was happy with statue and his self attained skill
Karna wanted to be regarded as greatest Archer so he needed the divyastra

But if eklavya was better than karna arjuna, why he did not become expert with another hand ?
Please note.. I love eklavya character and respect a lot.

He tried using another hand but could not attain the same heights and was killed by krishna in magadh war.

one needn't be weak to get killed by Krishna , Krishna could kill greatest warrior of the universe as well
and then as u said he didn't attain divyastras

and there was a reason why Krishna killed him , he doesn't want any warrior greater than Arjun to live (so he lead to kill all even including Ghatotkach and Abhimanyu , he knew and could avoid Abhimanyu's death which he did not)

The best I grasped out of this was like the Parvati - Nadi-Sea dialogue. One needs to do what is in keeping with ones nature. Lion (Singh) needs to hunt so other creatures can eat... and Warrior Arjuna needs to win competition for the betterment of all not just himself.

Oh no.. I did not mean to suggest that he was so weak that krishna could kill him.. Krishna part was just fyi.

If attainment of divyaastra was the criteria then Arjuna is clear winner. He beat everyone at their acquisition thanks in part to daddy dearest (Indra).

What I don't understand from yesterday's epi is how Karna concluded Brahmin Yuvan was Arjuna? 😳

He succeeded in hitting the target. This may have been the footing of identification.
