Abhimanyu's armour was peirced by Karna inside the Chakrvyuha, Drona would have been admiring Abhimayu as a whole.

in KMG there is a lot of confusion on Chakravyuha and Brahmashira weapon. Krishna says only He, Pradyumna & Arjuna knew how to break the Chakravyuha, none else, one can say that Bhishma , Drona and Karna did not knew how to break the Chakravyuha, but then again - was Krishna talking about only the Pandava side? or as a whole?.

The Brahmashira weapon - ( for the info Brahmashira is Brahmastra x 4) -, this weapon is said to be in possession of only three warriors, Drona, Arjuna & Aswathama, so one can say Bhishma and Karna did not have it, but then again - From where Drona get the knowledge of Brahmashira?, if it is from Parshurama, wouldn't Parshurama teach the Brahmashira weapon to Bhishma and his favorite student ( Karna )?, If Parshurama can give his personal weapon and personal bow to Karna, cant he give him the knowledge of Brahamshira?, lots of things to wonder.

I don't interpret Sree as Lakshmi since the latter was in the form of Rukmini, The only trident wielder is Shiva no confusion about this.

Sree cannot be Lakshmi and Parvati because the latter two have their own Consorts ( Vishnu and Shiva ). ( Slight chance she can be an ansh of Lakshmi since Arjuna was Nara )

I guess Arjuna too merged into Vishnu since he was Nara.

If you check the first page of this thread, I asked the same question, I still dont know which goddess Sree is, maybe any scholar can help us/me.

So, Drau was Sree😃. But who was the trident wielder who created her? If she was Sree (Laxmi), then how can Shiva (the only trident wielder I know) create her?😕. Also, if she was Sree, why is it not said she merged into Laxmi like it was said about every other character, including her twin?😕

You know, I like how Draupadi is Sree Devi. She was both the wife as well as the Sakhi of Narayana!

Wielder of trident is technically Shiva, but here I think it refers to Agni, who is supposed to be an Amsa of Rudra.

She is already in her original form, I don't think Sreedevi needs to "merge" into anyone. (My thoughts about Vasudeva later).

Arjun is not mentioned to be an avatar of anybody and is not mentioned to be absorbed, either?

Arjuna is the avatara of Nara, the "Man", so as such, he remains the same, I guess.

[quote]

Vasudeva was a portion of that eternal god of gods called Narayana. Accordingly, he entered into Narayana. 16,000 women had been married to Vasudeva as his wives. When the time came, O Janamejaya, they, plunged into the Sarasvati. Casting off their (human) bodies there, they re-ascended to Heaven. Transformed into Apsaras, they approached the presence of Vasudeva.

KMG also calls Vaasudev a portion of Narayan😕, I thought he was a poorna avatar?

that clears the air of Bhishma, Karna & Parshurama not possessing Brahmashira.

^^If you are talking about the brahmastra,

^
That's where many people get confused, Brahmashira and Brahmastra are different.

Brahmashira is Brahmastra x 4. Brahmastra even Yudisthira had but Brahmashira was a weapon possessed by only three warriors viz, Drona, Aruna and Ashwathama,

Brahmashira was the weapon Ashwathama fired not Brahmastra
