Exposing interpolated Virat war
Arjuna fans always try to show Karna superior to Kuru warriors with the help of Virat war. I will expose them now and prove that Virat war is not more than an interpolation.
Errors in Virat war
- Arjuna dropped his weapon in Kurukshetra war... He needed Gita Gyan then how he fought against same warriors in Virat war?
- Bhishma didn't allowed Karna to fought in Kurukshetra, why he allowed him to fight in Virat war?
- Bhishma dropped weapons against Shilhandi then how could he fought against an eunuch?
- Karna donated his Kavach Kundal before Virat war and had Vasavi Shakti. Why didn't he used it?
- Arjuna couldn't defeat Bhagdatt in 10 days. How could he defeat all Kuru warriors in just half day?
- If Arjuna could defeat Bhishma, Karna and Drona, why he killed them when they were unarmed?
- If Drona could neutralise sammohana Astra in Kurukshetra war, why he couldn't in Virata war?
Proof from Different versions
- Kumarvyasa Mahabharat narrated in 15th century doesn't mention Virat war.
- Jaimini Bharat of 17th century doesn't mention Virat war.
- Shanta Rao version doesn't mention Virat war.
- Devdutt version doesn't mention Virat war.
No Combat Between Arjun and Karna before Kurukshetra war
Vyasa said in Drona Parva that there was no single combat between Karna and Arjuna after getting Vasavi Shakti.
Vyasa said, By good luck, Phalguna liveth still although he had encountered Karna in battle. Indeed, Karna had kept his dart, desirous of slaying Savyasachin, O bull of Bharata's race, by good luck Jishnu did not engage in single combat with Karna.Karna got Vasavi shakti in Vanaparva which is book 3 and Virata war happened in Viara Parva which is book 4. So, it's proved that Virat war is a later interpolation.
Wrong information in Virat War
1) Names of Kuru warriors given by Yudhishthira. Virat Parva LXVII
Yudhishthira said, 'There where Bhishma and Drona and Drona's son and the son of Vikartana and Kripa and king Duryodhana and other royal and mighty car-warriors are assembled or there where Indra himself is surrounded by the Maruts, what other person than Vrihannala can fight, encountering them all!
Vaikartana is one of the name of Karna. First thing is that Karna is nowhere mentioned in this list whule in war scenario, we saw Karna fighting with Arjuna. The son of Vaikartana(Vrishasen) was not present there. It seems that Yudhishthira by mistake called Vaikartana as son of Vaikartana lolЁЯдгЁЯдгЁЯдг
2) Arjuna told Uttar that he had held Gandiva for 65 years. Virat Parva XLIII
2) Arjuna told Uttar that he had held Gandiva for 65 years. Virat Parva XLIII
And finally Partha, surnamed Swetavahana, 1 hath held it for five and sixty years.Arjuna got Gandiva during Khandava dahan. Abhimanyu was also born at same time. Abhimanyu was either 33 or 16 years old. Than how could Arjuna hold Gandiva for 65 years.
