Grand Master Kripa and Grand Master
Drona would have come to the end of time
in teaching the Pandavas and the Kauravas set the strategy at a time using a
weapon of war. There came a time, on a good day and determined to test the
ability of the knights in the open arena, witnessed the king, courtiers, the
princes and all the people Astinapura. Audiences cheered when the five Pandavas
present, the public has to know how agile Arjuna in playing various weapons of
war.
Cheers for the Pandavas as if to stab the heart Duryudana, he stared with a feeling giddy, heart tremble quietly. How calm and confident Yudhistira, how mighty, unparalleled Bhima and Arjuna, the third Pandava, he was a handsome face propped upright posture charismatic. Daughter of the king of the castle which is not interested in becoming his wife? As Nakula Sadewa, twin knights, as if two innocent face that fulfill the strength of three stepbrothers. There's nothing wrong with the Pandavas, but Duryodhana stuck on a question, get one of the hundred Kaurava defeat Arjuna? The first was with bitter Kurawa doubted their abilities.
Bhima obviously survived an assassination attempt in the River Ganges, he returned unharmed after getting tirta purwadi with supernatural powers increasingly unmatched. Arjuna correctly can shoot a bird perched on a limb when the green leaves of a target archer protect. Duryodhana takes a deep breath, he could not lull restless, more than that he could not dispel the feeling of hate when dealing with the Pandavas, even when the five noble intention was never even hostile to it.
Audience was boisterous cheering waving to Arjuna, faces were thus hopeful of victory Pandavas. An attitude that no doubt, the actual Pandavas more beloved Astinpura people. Duryodhana feeling started glowing embers deep in the recesses of the heart, he knew he'd never be able to and does not intend to extinguish. Pandavas and the Kauravas are cousins, but how very different the situation. People can not be silenced to love the Pandavas, the one thing that really hurt Duryodhana. Not an easy thing, enthroned on a spot start in the palace without the love of the people must be led.
One by one, the prince called to fight each other after the show studied at Kripa and Drona, but who can beat Arjuna. The third Pandavas was not only handsome charming, he was so smart, agile, dashing unmatched. Until the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and then leaning west no one can beat Arjuna. Thunderous cheering audience, they can not hide a sense of pride, because of the victory of Arjuna.
Duryodhana blood boil, he could not accept this defeat. In larger
quantities, it Kurawa nothing in front of Arjuna. The first Kurawa clenched
hand, if there is a way of defeating Arjuna, the cheers of the audience was
going to be his, and all the people love Astinapura?
Twilight is getting extinguished, in the sky a tinge of red as if her flow of blood. Arena match almost deserted unopposed for Arjuna. However, suddenly the sound of thunder from the entrance of a thunderous explosion followed as lightning, as a harbinger of the middle comes a challenger for Arjuna. The whole attention was paid to the gate, parted to make way for a young knight. Noble face was so handsome with a sturdy body and a pair of ear sparkles, because earrings are very beautiful. With bold knight came forward into the middle of the arena without realizing procedure applicable.
"Arjuna, the third Pandava, today I dare Karna. Who actually more powerful, Arjuna or Karna? "Karna words so steady, but he had practised the science of war, he intends to test the ability of self. Who is eligible challenged except Arjuna.
In the middle of the arena, witnessed by all spectators who attended the two warriors face as an opponent. Arjuna never know who the real Karna, and vice versa. If they knew the real Karna was the eldest Pandava, is there arena atmosphere would be like this. Grand Master Drona felt trapped in a difficult situation, he did not know how to behave wisely, he quietly left the arena, his mind felt giddy.
While the presence of Karna as an ally to the Kauravas, when the knight was able to defeat Arjuna, then he will be able to ask that Karna joined the Kauravas. With Duryudana marched down to the arena, greeted Karna, his face lit up when it says, "Welcome to the young knight, we Kurawa Kuru descendants accompanies the presence of the master," Karna Duryudana shook hands and then hugged him tightly.
"I thank Karna thousand thanks for the generosity of Prince Duryodhana. There are two things I asked for, the first love of a prince, a second fight against Partha, Arjuna ", Karna burning desire to test the ability, if he does not care to be in favour of the Kauravas.
"If you win this game, the entire fortune is yours Karna", once again Duryodhana embraced Karna, he really hopes that the Kauravas can beat Arjuna, although represented by Karna.
On the other hand stood trembling knees Arjuna, Karna who warmly greeted the arrival of Duryudana obviously shrink his presence, he had to fight with an unknown origin anyway, nor invited. "O Karna, is there you are present in this arena, because the invitation letter or you have been preparing for death?" Arjuna sharp as the blade when it looked Karna without blinking. He never expect the presence of Karna, he would never know who the real knights. If Kunthi honestly never declared.
"Because I do not need a letter of invitation, did not accept the arrival of Prince Duryudana this," Karna gaze no less sharp, it stands with all confidence to fight Arjuna get the win. Both now stood face to face as an opponent, ready to compete.
Twilight has sunk, toward dusk and soon turned into night. However, the atmosphere suddenly turned into bright. Batara Indra - god of thunder and lightning, Batara Mascara –god of internity light, Batara Surya - the Sun god, suddenly, at the same time present in the arena appeared to exist as a bright light. A miracle that surprised and stunned everyone.
While in her seat Dewi Kunthi felt her blood freeze, not even a second she could forget a face Karna, but how she must certify to the knights, the eldest Pandava is real Karna, the son of Batara Indra. Now, the two warriors were confronted as an enemy, because they do not know with certainty the identity between one another. she began picking fruit from her mistakes. Kunthi want to stop this fight, but what words should talk? She was not even able to just stand up, the great mother to feel more and her eyes grew fainter, as if the white fog rolled swallowed two knights in the middle of the arena, Arjuna and Karna. She was no longer able to recognize two people who are ready to fight and possibly kill each other, her head felt dizzy, chest tightness as a stone hit right in the heart. With one complaint Dewi Kunthi rolled, she had lost all consciousness, she rejected the appearance that occurred in the middle of the arena. Deftly, Mahatma Vidura helps the body to recover Kunthi s consciousness. The great mother regained consciousness, but she was just stunned, lost the confidence to do something. Dewi Kunthi does not intend to open a secret, exactly who Karna? If the fight was going to kill one of them, Kunthi have determined choice.
At the last second when Arjuna and Karna ready to compete, Grand Master Kripa which controls procedures and rules of the game right down to the arena, he had to act. "Welcome to the arena game Kuru race, the young hero Karna. We do not dismiss your arrival, but must you know, the knight thee challenge is Partha, Arjuna descent Pritha and Pandu. According to the rules of the king's son striped noble descent were not allowed to play against an unknown challenger ", the Grand Master Kripa words wisely, so the actual rules of the game, he must keep the record straight.
Words of Grand Master Kripa really so wise, unpretentious, and true.
However, in the ear of Karna those words as sharp blade slashed across his
courage. Karna did not never know where the real him came, it was not raised as
a prince at the court, he has violated the procedure by challenging Arjuna in
the arena specifically the real for nation Kuru. Where is the true lineage?
Because he never know. Rose handsome face down, Karna still know the meaning of
shame.
Duryodhana not losing my mind, when looking at the development of unfavourable circumstances, he sincerely hope can defeat Arjuna, Karna also becomes an ally. In doing so he would have enough strength to express displeasure towards the Pandavas. However, the rules of the game blocking Karna victory. Duryodhana get up, stand up, speak out. "If duel This can not continue, because Karna was not a descendant of the king, then today I crowned Karna as King Angga", Duryudana no doubt with his decision, he really requires a formidable ally with similar Arjuna magic. He was not doing so Karna mistake to crown officially as King Anga. Thus appropriate he competed against Arjuna, because they both have the same degree.
Karna coronation ceremony performed quickly, Karna as if he were dreaming. So easily he was crowned as king, because the courage to challenge Arjuna and generosity Duryodhana. The coronation had saved her from shame, it really indebted to Duryodhana. Karna did not realize, that the debt of gratitude demanded price is too expensive when it came time to pay.
Now he and Arjuna back stand face to face as opposed to being ready to kill. However, this proxy war re-suspended, because suddenly appeared Adhirata, the adoptive father of Karna. Brandishing sticks the old man was entering the arena, he was trembling, with worry and fear. Because he did not think would stand in this arena, the arena is only allowed for the descendants of Kuru Nations and not sais train.
"Dad ....", Karna salute, he should know how these old men loved him sincerely, he gives too much, so that he can grow up as a knight. The anger Karna like splashed cold water when hands Adhirata hugged all of love. Karna never doubted affection. He never regretted raised by a coachman that became so anxious and frightened as he prepared against Arjuna in the arena game Kuru Nations. Because it can capture the sense of surprise when he saw the sparkling crown Adhirata reigns in the head. Now, he is the King of Angga.
The presence Adhirata surprised everyone, including Bhima, the second Pandavas could barely contain his laughter, he unconsciously say, "Oh Karna, the son of a coachman evidently you train. No matter how noble love your parents, you deserve to challenge Arjuna is there? Are there any you deserve to die at the hands of the Pandavas? The son of a coachman train is not even entitled to be King Angga, take your father train, back to where you came from ", the words of Bhima so sharp and painful. If Kunthi never be honest, stating exactly who Karna, Bhima definitely would not say words like that. Indeed Karna deserve more than just present in this arena, in fact he is entitled to wear the crown of a king.
The whole body Karna chills, because the words of Bhima, he must realize what is really hurt, resentment, and shame. True, he has violated the procedures for challenging game with Arjuna. However, not Bhima should have a vocabulary more wisely. Karna knew, to whom he actually had to take sides. He became so angry that he could no longer speak, but stared at Bhima with eyes rekindle the flames.
While Duryudana can not accept the words of Bhima certainly galling for a Karna, with the first Kurawa loudly say, "Bhima, better for you to reconsider your words. Should a knight rated of origin? Or of attitude as well as his words. If true you're a knight descendant of Kuru Nations, would not be feasible to say words like that. Karna is a true knight, if you said he did not deserve to be King Angga, then I considered it inappropriate to rule the entire world ", Duryudana not say longer, in anger he grabbed Karna, sit him on the train, spurring flash, leaving the arena match.
The sun suddenly disappeared from the sky, the sky went dark as previous
nights. People slowly left the arena, bringing with them the impressions and
opinions about the game today with the presence of Karna suddenly. "It was
the son of a coachman train, Karna indeed mighty, not much different from the
Pandavas and Kauravas ...." Said one of the spectators say.
"However, no one can match Arjuna, he was dashing, handsome and shrewd play various weapons of war ...." Audience others argue.
"Arjuna was the third Pandava, they are far different from the Kauravas. Yudhistira wise deserved to be king. "
"True, Yudhistira was king Astinapura candidate and not Duryudana ...."
At first the voices were so boisterous, but gradually subsided, remaining until the atmosphere in the arena finally just lonely alone. Pandavas and Kauravas along with the rest of the royal family has returned to the palace, as well as the entire Ponggawa. Today the whole Astinapura, both the people and the royal family note the presence of a noble suddenly, Karna.
At one point Batara Indra know, the battle between the son, and the son of Batara Surya, Arjuna and , Karna someday there will be inevitable. In the middle of the arena two have seemed to hate each other, today only fight pending before the actual arrival time. Batara Indra must protect Arjuna, he did not want to harm her beloved son would get in the hands of Karna, known as a foster child of coachman. Batara Indra know how he should release the magic Karna.
One day Batara Indra disguised as a Brahmin, he knew about Karna generous attitude. The young knight would not mind if all humility, he asked for earrings and weapons that have been brought since birth. "I am a Brahmin, would presumably host generously given earrings and weapons to the servants?" Batara Indra disguised then played his part well and convincingly. The look in his eyes so innocent and suffering.
Karna stood stunned, looking at the presence of a Brahmin with compassion, he knows how to live is not easy to decide themselves as Brahmins. Batara Surya has been visited in a dream with a message - one when Batara Indra will steal the earrings and weapons. Because it should be wary of his message, but he became negligent when faced with a brahmin. Instant he forgot the message Batara Surya in a dream, without suspicion he gave very precious in life, is a pair of beautiful earrings sparkling and weapons of war. If Karna knew the real brahmin is Batara Indra disguised defence of Arjuna, the most likely opponent defeated on the battlefield.
When receiving a pair of earrings and weapons Karna, Batara Indra stunned for a moment, deep in his heart he felt embarrassed, have crippled for Arjuna Karna by way of disguise. But is there any he has other options for Arjuna, the warrior Astinapura choice? To pay a shame Batara Indra offers a powerful weapon to Karna, "Are you, a young knight deign also received weapons from a brahmana Brahmastra?" Batara Indra asked.
"With all happy, so I can defeat all enemies", Karna accepted the offer with a smile on his handsome face.
"All right, I give a weapon with magic spells, with a record of this weapon can be used only one time, whoever that enemy, he would lose. After one use, this weapon can not be used again, return to me ", once again Batara Indra who was disguised as a brahmin stared at the handsome face Karna, but he quickly looked away, he had no intention of talking to Karna within a period of time, he should right back to heaven.
On the other hand, Karna never suspected the meeting and exchange of this weapon, he never thought the day of death for him had been counted since he gives earrings and weapons to a Brahmin who met for the first and last time. He was negligent, careless and gullible, oblivious to the message Batara Surya in dreams. Armed with Brahmastra Award Batara Indra, Karna then disguised as a Brahmin went to see Parasurama. He hopes to learn spells to use weapons Brahmastra, Karna study diligently, he really showed determination and interest in learning to use a powerful weapon.
One day after practice, Parasurama felt so tired, he lay his head in the lap of Karna then fell asleep. So soundly sleeping Master, so that Karna was trying hard not moan, when a predatory insects sneak into clothing and then bite his thigh to bleed. He did not want to Parasurama awoke, as he moaned. He is strong enough to withstand pain.
However, Parasurama could not refrain from asking when he woke. A pair of keen eyes can see the blood flowing on the thigh of Karna and strokes that handsome face. Faces are able to withstand the pain, because it did not want to sleep a teacher awake, the face was not the face of a brahmin. Karna handsome face is the attitude a knight. Parasurama sighed, pressing guilt and anger, he had deceived a warrior disguised as a Brahmin. He could not keep silent, allowing a student to hide their identity.
"Who are you my disciples indeed dear? A person who is able to withstand the pain, because they do not want to wake the sleeping soundly a teacher? Is it true that you are a brahmin? "Parasurama moment staring at the handsome face and then looked away, how much he really loves Karna, because his smart. However, it faces strokes, strokes the face of a knight who insist bear the pain. Again Parasurama took a deep breath, there is pain in the recesses of the heart. Why Karna bear to pose as a brahmin in order to learn the mantras of a weapon?
"Who is the real you?" Parasurama sound cold and heavy, he was trying desperately to hold back anger.
Karna bowed his face a deep, not as easy as it turned out to be undercover, acknowledging the identity of another person as a private person. Parasurama too closely to deceived, should he dodge? Is there a teacher can continually deceived? Can he beat Arjuna without learning from Parasurama? Karna must be prepared to accept the consequences of the worst lies. "A thousand pardon teacher, I have made a mistake. If I come up with the actual identity, is there any teacher willing to accept this presence. Someday I will be faced with a very tough opponent who can only be defeated with the weapons Brahmastra. There was no other way, except to replace identity as a brahmin, so I can use weapons Brahmastra ", Karna voice stammered, there was no point in lying. As a knight, he had always so ready with a result that must be endured, the worst though.
Parasurama was silent for a moment, Karna action is not entirely wrong. However, how can he forgive? A disciple of abstinence lying in front of a teacher? "Actions are not entirely wrong, but also untrue. For a teacher even too bold, a great sin that a pupil had been lying in front of a teacher. I am so sorry, I can not allow more you learn at this place. Regretfully I let you go and never come back again "Parasurama looked away, his heart ached. He must have lost a beloved disciple, why Karna should lie? He must be determined to not be drawn to this knight in disguise.
Some percussion silence, Karna did not even dare look at the teacher's
face. True, he had fatally wrongdoing. Now what can be done, a highly respected
did not even deign looked at her face, he was a warrior. However, in front of a
teacher who lied, he was nothing more than a piece of junk. Karna knew the
disguise is over already, he was not sure whether he would win when reached
when faced with a most formidable opponent. Or, as is the destiny of life?
Knight grew up a coachman child?
"Once again I, Karna pleaded for mercy teachers, thus the reason I was undercover. Enough time I've made a mistake. Well, I take my leave and as the willingness of teachers, I would never come again to this place ", Karna bowed deeply, his face pale. He knew the meaning of shame and guilt, when he realized that his presence is no longer desired, then he should go. Actually, the knight will still say, but when he saw that Parasurama no longer wishes to take a stand the truth, he knows himself. Again Karna salute, then resigned, packing up to leave.
Karna floating with footsteps left the residence Parasurama, regret always comes too late. Nobody can play back needle time, nor the mighty knights real handsome face was the eldest Pandava, Batara Surya born son of the great mother, Dewi Kunthi. There was nothing else to do except forget Karna, he will pick up tomorrow as it is up to the great battle is inevitable, maybe he will live. However, without the provision of a mantra for Brahmastra weapon, he will die.
Karna back again into the Kingdom of Anga, he received a helping hand from Duryodhana. The two became allies complementary, Duryudana need a mighty warrior who will sustain its strength. As Karna, who once humiliated Pandavas in the arena feel very indebted, because Duryudanalah who intervened to save his level. Now he is a king, an adopted child who has been crowned the train sais then have peace with Kauravas. Karna never turned away from the Kauravas, he gave everything he owned real Kauravas despite being on the wrong side.
