Karna’s Death

Karna was installed as the General of the Kaurava army. Bhima’s rage was uncontrollable when he looked at Duhshasana who had humiliated Draupadi. He tore off Duhshasana’s arm and fulfilled his terrible vow of tearing him up and taking his blood. The scene horrified everyone. Arjuna and Karna had a fierce battle. Karna’s hour of death had come. The wheel of his chariot got stuck in the mud. He got down to lift it out. It was not right conduct to attack a warrior when he was helpless, he said. Krishna asked him what happened to his right conduct when he was encouraging the Kauravas to poison Bhima, set fire to the lacquer palace, cheat at the game of dice, humiliate Draupadi, exile them and then refuse to return their kingdom? Karna knew he had been wrong. As he stood there, Parashurama’s curse became effective. He could not recollect any mantra. Arjuna’s arrow killed him.
