I presume, he learnt all the divyastra's from Parshurama.

This looks more logical, why?, below is the answer.

I came across a line in KMG which said, He (Karna) learnt 'weapons' from Rama, 'Weapons' was written rather than 'Weapon'. Secondly, It makes more sense that Drona refused him to teach him divyastra's and he went to Parshurama for his training in Divyastra's.

Karna was the best warrior Kaurava's had, He killed more than double the soldiers compared to Drona and even defeated 4 Pandavas and almost killed one of them ( If not for Krishna ).

I second that he was equal to two Maharathi's, That is 2x Drona.

P.S - Sometimes, I like to use logic rather than following a particular translation blindly, KMG itself wasn't perfect. Sorry If I offended you in any case. 😊

No you didn't offend me. I came across a line that he learnt Mantras for withdrawing the Brahma weapon. No other divine weapon was mentioned but Mantras was used.

Cherry.. I thought that was told earlier here?? D's past life and justification for her marriage is not discussed anywhere later in the epic except for drupad vyasa convo

I think parshuram had a major role in shaping karna as a fearsome warrior than drona!

I can provide with loads of citation in this case, After the fall of Bhishma, Kuru army was lost, Until they realized that they possess Karna, Everyone was suddenly happy thinking about Karna, Everyone wanted him to be the commander but he suggested Drona's name.

Karna's entry in the war was the most celebrated moment for the Kuru Army, Let me know if anyone desires citation.

sorry thewatcher I didn't understand! meaning in support of my statement or against it?
btw I meant to say parshuram influence or teaching seem to have strengthen karna as warrior more

Obviously in your support. You, in your statement stated that how karna was more fearsome (to warriors) compared to Drona.
