But where Karna had trouble with this art?
no these people were good at archery but they did not know shabd bedi baan vidya..
1) dasharath :yes he knew.. n that led him to trouble with shravan's parents
2. Pandu : no he did not know.. he saw some movements behind bush n thought it is a deer.
3. Karna : nowhere in mahabharat it is given that he knew it.
4. Arjun : same as karna
5. Ram : its not htere in ramayan that he knew
6. Lakshman : its not htere in ramayan that he knew
7. Bhishma : its not given in mahabharatha that he knew
8. All of the god warriors (Indra, Sun God, Shiva, Vishnu) : none of the puranas have given this
9. Parshuram : same.. none of puranas have given this
10. Brahispati, Valmiki : again not given anywhere
11. Luv and Kush (Ram's children): not given anywhere
12. Meghnad (Ravan's son) :again not given anywhere
13. Some demon who was Prahlad's friend........forgot his name...he was blind though :again not given anywhere
14. I'm sure there are many more.......
the people whom u have listed were good warriors.. but the does not mean they knew shabd bedi baan vidya... as i said.. none of our puran , vedas, upanishads orany other book tell this...
the only people who knew were
dasharat : given in ramayan .. n he used it which by mistake killed shravan
eklavya : given in mahabharat.. n eklavya used this to stop a dog from barking.. he listened to the sound of the bark n filled the dog's mouth with arrows.
prithvi : given in prithviraj raso... n he used it to kill ghori.
so these r the only people who knew.it.. if u r saying others knew it.. pls tell the book in which it is written
