[edit] picture

The picture of karna on TV justs seems plain wrong, so I put a better one there. samphex 15:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parasuram's Curse

I've never really heard it told that the Brahmin specifically stated Karan would die in the way he did, although I haven't read the Mahabharat myself. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I've been told that (And have read in some books, including the Amar Chitra Katha issue from which someone got that picture) the brahmin cursed Karan to die as helplessly as the cow did at his hands. I wasn't sure if it would be kosher to edit it without saying anything, though. Nickoten 03:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poor state of the Article

The article is hardly based on Mahabharata itself. It is almost totally based on the TV serial and the Mritunjay book, these two sorces differ greatly from the original and are definitely not canon. I have made some edits on points that are grossly different from the Epic, but article still needs a lot of improvement.Astavakra 06:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well you could always make the changes yourself, as long as you make proper citations —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.22.53.86 (talk) 19:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC).

It would be good if there was someone knowledgable about the subject


I dont seem to understand why the Curse of Bhoo Devi (Earth) is not stated. I am not convinced about the sources of the curse by the Brahmin in fact —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.197.126.104 (talk) 10:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

I had difficulty finding Links. Would anyone else add links to this article?

Please make change in para "King of Anga and Friendship with Duryodhana". Guru "Dronacharya" refused to 'Karna' for playing dual with 'Arjuna', not 'Kripacharya'. Please let me know if I m wrong.:- VIJAY L —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.125.89.129 (talk) 10:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
