Analysis of Gandharva war!

PART-1 : KARNA FOUGHT WITH GANDHARVAS


1) First, Karna was not having his Vijaya bow during this fight. He fought with ordinary bow. Infact he used his Vijaya Bow only on 17th day of Kurukshetra War, which combined with his immeasurable prowess gave him an upper hand over Arjun for the most part of the battle

2) All thousands of Gandharva's were blessed by gods of heaven, so each of them was very powerful n equal to maharathi.

3) Karna ALONE fought with all of them. All kuru army ran away from there. There was no one to help Karna. Still Karna alone vanquished Gandharvas.

Sacred-Text :
Gandharva simpetuously rushing towards them with upraised weapons, the Kuru warriors precipitously fled in all directions at the very sight of Duryodhana. And beholding the Kuru soldiers all flying from the field with their backs to the foe, the heroic Radheya alone ‪fled‬ ‎not‬. And seeing the mighty host of the Gandharvas rushing towards him, Radheya checked them by a perfect shower of arrows. owing to his extreme lightness of hand, struck hundreds of Gandharvas with Kshurapras and arrows and Bhallas and various weapons made of bones and steel. And that mighty warrior, causing the heads of numerous Gandharvas to roll down within a short time, made the ranks of Chitrasena to yell in anguish. And although they were slaughtered in great numbers by Karna endued with great intelligence, yet the Gandharvas returned to the charge by hundreds and thousands. And in consequence of the swarms of Chitrasena's warriors rushing impetuously to the field the earth itself became soon covered by the Gandharva host."

##‪#‎Here‬, See Karna nearly defeated gandharva's. He is described as possessor of extreme lightness of hands. He killed 100s of gandharvas with different arrows.

PART-2 : THOUSANDS OF GANDHARVAS ALTOGETHER ATTACKED ON ALONE KARNA:


Understanding karna was invincible Gandharvas decided to have a group attack which was against the RULE OF WAR.

Sacred-Text :
All the Gandharvas then, desirous of slaying Karna, rushed ‪together‬ by hundreds and thousands towards Karna. And those mighty warriors, desirous of slaying the Suta's son, surrounded him on all sides, with swords and battle-axes and spears.

#Here, See 1000s of Gandava's surrounded alone Karna from all side. This was against the rule of war & coward act of Gandharvas, who were no match for Karna
--------------------------------


PART-3 : FEW NOTICEABLE FACTS:


NOTE-
i) In case of abhimanyu he was unarmed by just 7 warriors whereas here karna is attacked by 1000s.of extremely powerful GANDHARVA warriors
Is it fair to attack on alone warrior by 1000s of gandharvas..??
No, It was clear cut cheating of gandharvas with karna.

ii) According to KMG translation Karna was not drunk but BORI'S translation stats thats Karna was under effect of alcohol.

iii)Majority of gandharva army was already killed by Karna. All 4 pandavas only faced remaining army of gandharvas.

-------------------------------------

 PART-4 : ALL 4 PANDAVA ‪ALTOGETHER DEFEATED CHITRASEN


1) All 4 Pandava Bhima,Arjuna,Nakula & Sahdeva altogether attack on Gandharvas

2) Arjun got gandiva bow in khandav parv & it comes before ghosha-yatra parva, so obviously arjuna fought with celestial bow & he got extra advantage of it.

3) 1000s of Gandharvas never did any group attack on Arjuna nor he was surrounded by 1000s of gandharva's like they all did with karna. Only king Chitrasen attacked on arjuna no one else.

4) Pandava used their celestial weapons like Agneyastra whereas Karna didn't used his celestial weapons.

Sacred-Text :
and in that encounter, the mighty ‪Arjuna‬, by means of his Agneyaweapon, sent ten hundreds of Gandharvas to the abode of Yama. And that mighty bowman, ‪‎Bhima‬, also, that foremost of all warriors in battle, slew, by means of his sharp arrows, Gandharvas by hundreds. And the mighty ‪‎sons‬ of ‪‎Madri‬( nakula & sahdeva ) also, battling with vigour, encountered hundreds of Gandharvas, O king, and slaughtered them all. And as Gandharvas were being thus slaughtered by the mighty warriors with their celestial weapons.

###Here, See all four pandavas altogether defeated Gandharvas only by using celestial weapons.
----------------------------------

PART-5 : KARNA COME BACK TO HELP DURYODHANA


Karna didn't know Duryodhana was left behind & captured by Gandharvas. As he comes to know about this he came back to help his friend.

Sacred-Text:
towards the small hours of the morning Karna, approaching him, said, 'Fortunate it is, O son of Gandhari, that thou art alive! Fortunate it is, that we have once more met! By good luck it is that thou hast vanquished the Gandharvas capable of assuming any form at will. 

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03245.htm

###Here, See Karna was coming to help Duryodhana. He found Duryodhana alive & became happy.
------------------------------------

PART-6 : AFFECTION OF CHITRASEN TOWARDS PANDAVA.


Even Pandavas also DID NOT have ability to defeat Chitrasen. Chitrasen was defeated by Pandavas by his own wish bcoz of affection towards Pandava. Just because he wished, he got himself defeated, which gives these MORON arjuna fans an excuse to say how good their fake hero was.
Moreover Chitrasen worked UNDER Lord Indra (Father of Arjuna), how could he harm son of his master?

Sacred-Text:
[Chirasen said to Pandavas]
The lord of the celestials (Indra) also, having ascertained this purpose of theirs, told me, 'Go thou and bring Duryodhana hither in chains along with his counsellors. Dhananjaya also with his brother should always be protected by thee in battle, for he is thy dear friend and DECIPLE.' At these words of the lord of the celestials I came hither speedily.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03243.htm

HERE, SEE

i) Arjuna was deciple of Chitrasen. Chitrasen was nothing but music and dance teacher of Arjuna

ii) Indra himself ordered Chitrasen to capture Duryodhana & to protect Pandavas

iii) In simple words, Chitrasen never defeated by Pandavas. He was protector of Pandavas. He simply accepted his defeat bcoz of his affection towards Pandava.
------------------------------------

◆ FINAL ANALYSIS:
IF YOU ANALYSE WHOLE GANDHARVA WAR, THEN IT WAS NOTHING BUT PLANNING OF INDRA TO PROVE PANDAVAS SUPERIOR THAN DURYODHANA & KARNA.
GANDHARVA CHEATED KARNA IN WAR. THE SAME INDRA WAS SO MUCH INSECURE THAT HE BEGGED KARNA FOR HIS DIVINE ARMOUR IN FEAR THAT KARNA WILL KILL ARJUNA.
