DESCRIPTION OF ONE OF THE MOST HANDSOME MAN OF MAHABHARAT:-

This post is dedicated to physical beauty of Karna๐Ÿ˜›... Beauty of Karna described at least 10-12 times in entire epic(KMG VERSION)..This thread will cover incidences where beauty of most dynamic man described in mahabharat.๐Ÿ˜ณ

1ST TIME

he was gifted with the beauty of a celestial infant,and in splendour was like unto the maker of day himself. And every part of his body was symmetrical and well-adorned. And Kunti cast the handsome child into the water.

2ND TIME

Pritha conceived a son like the lord himself of the stars in the firmament.And in due time that beauteous maiden, by the grace of deity, brought forth a son resembling a very god. And even like his father, the child was equipped in a coat of mail, and decked with brilliant ear-rings. And he was possessed of leonine eyes and shoulders like those of a bull.

3RD TIME

And what a lucky dream hath been dreamt by her that will adopt thee for her son, thee that is endued with solar splendour, and furnished with celestial mail, and adorned with celestial ear-rings, thee that hast expansive eyes resembling lotuses, a complexion bright as burnished copper or lotus leaves, a fair forehead, and hair ending in beautiful curls!

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03306.htm


4TH TIME

And then he beheld a boy resembling the morning Sun. And the infant was furnished with golden mail, and looked exceedingly beautiful with a face decked in ear-rings.

5TH TIME

Karna, that hero with his natural mail and face brightened with ear-rings, took up his bow and girded on his sword, and then entered the spacious lists, like a walking cliff. That far-famed destroyer of hostile hosts, the large-eyed Karna, was born of Pritha in her maidenhood. He was a portion of the hot-beamed Sun and his energy and prowess were like unto those of the lion, or the bull, or the leader of a herd of elephants. In splendour he resembled the Sun, in loveliness the Moon, and in energy the fire. Begotten by the Sun himself, he was tall in stature like a golden palm tree, and, endued with the vigour of youth, he wascapable of slaying a lion. Handsome in features, he was possessed of countless accomplishments.

6TH TIME.

O Karna, that divine Surya who blazeth forth in light and maketh everything visible, O foremost ofall wielders of weapons, begat thee upon me. O irresistible one, thou, O son, wert brought forth byme in my father's abode, decked with (natural) ear-rings and accoutred in a (natural) coat of mail,and blazing forth in beauty.


http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m05/m05145.htm


7TH TIME

(Krishna said to Arjuna)
Endued with might, he resembles a lion in the formation of his body. He is eight ratnis in stature.His arms are large. His chest is broad. He is invincible. He is sensitive. He is a hero. He is, again, the foremost of heroes. He is #exceedingly_handsome. Possessed of every accomplishment of a warrior

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08072.htm


(ONLY WARRIOR WHO IS DESCRIBED BY LORD KRISHNA AS EXTREMELY HANDSOME)๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ


8TH TIME

Installed in the command, Radha's son of incomparable splendour looked resplendent in beauty and radiance like a second Sun.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08010.htm


9TH TIME

Karna stood on that car, the reins of whose steeds were held by Shalya, stretching his formidable bow, like the Sun himself within a haloof circular light. Stationed on that foremost of cars, that tiger among men, Karna, with his shafts constituting his rays, looked beautiful like the Sunon the Mandara mountains. Unto the mighty-armed son of Radha that warrior of immeasurable energy, stationed on his car for battle.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08036.htm


10TH TIME

though he had been slain in course of that dreadful fight, still that beauty of features which the son of Radha possessed did not abandon him when dead. Clad in beautiful attire, and possessed of a neck that was very#beautiful, the Suta's son owned a face which resembled thefull #moon in splendour. All the wealth of that high-souled person had been dedicated to the Brahmanas. There was nothing, not even his life, that he could not give away unto the Brahmanas. He was ever the favourite of #ladies, exceedingly liberal, and a mighty car-warrior.


http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08094.htm


(EVEN AFTER DEATH OF KARNA HIS BODY IS DESCRIBED AS BEAUTIFUL)

THESE ARE ONLY SOME SELECTED INCIDENCE... . KARNA WAS FAVOURITE OF LADIES.. KARNA WAS ONE & ONLY WHO WAS DESCRIBED BY LORD KRISHNA AS 'EXTREMELY HANDSOME'.. EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH, HIS DEATH BODY NOT ABANDONED ITS BEAUTY SUCH WAS THE BEAUTY OF KARNA.!!

Good post. One thing I always noticed while reading is Vyasa was so obsessed with Karna's eyes and arms - you get maximum descriptions of them. He specifically mentions "BEAUTIFUL, large arms" at places (forgot exact situations & also there are other heros who also have large arms but I do not remember any beautiful arms, right now) and plenty of times you will come across those "beautiful, large, round eyes" of Karna. Vyasa was a deewaana of Karna's eyes.๐Ÿ˜† If that was the case with a sage who renounced the world, think what ordinary people will do if they ever meet Karna in person !!!!!

But I have an logic here... ๐Ÿ˜› he was a man with large lotus petal like beautiful pairs of eyes and long well adorned pairs of arms...and with the help of the both he launched all his missiles on others... ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜† most probably that was the main reason of vayasjee 's obsession... ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜†
