One Q I have

The sinking of chariot wheels occurs twice in that fight

1) When G saves Parth from Nagastra

2) Karna's wheels

But since Parth's wheels sank first, one assumes he did come out of the mud before they resumed the fight. How?

Bcoz of Govind, maybe. But if u don't go by the divinity part, how was Govind able to bring the wheel out and not Karna?

That is what i wanted to say too Radhika...😊
Arjuna had a good sarathi who did his job well whereas Karna and his sarathi's equation was not the same..

Every one please move on to the new thread. 😆 God help us all!

arjun stayed on the chariot fighting while krishna pulled the chariot up. karna got no help from shalya and so could not fight and raise the chariot at the same time.

"Then Jishnu, turning his face in rage, cut off, with six keen shafts, that snake in the
welkin as the latter was coursing in a slanting direction. His body thus cut off, he fell down on the earth.
After that snake had been cut off by Arjuna, the lord Keshava himself, O king, of massive arms, that foremost of beings, raised up with his arms that car from the earth. At that time, Karna, glancing obliquely at Dhananjaya, pierced that foremost of persons, viz., Krishna, with ten shafts whetted on stone and equipped with peacock feathers.
Then Dhananjaya, piercing Karna with a dozen well-shot and keen arrows equipped with heads like the boar's ear, sped a cloth-yard shaft endued with the energy of a snake of virulent poison and shot from his bow-string stretched to his ear."

"When his car began to reel from the curse of the Brahmana, and when the high weapon he had obtained from Rama no longer shone in him through inward light, and when his terrible snake-mouthed shaft also had been cut off by Partha, Karna became filled with melancholy.His steeds and his driver also were displaced from their usual position. (i think shalya left karna to his own devices)

I know in a battle, a charioteer has a very imp role to play, but still why would he pick a guy who was forced to fight for them.
