KARNA - MAHADEV'S DECIPLE

FIGHT WITH INDRA DEV AND HOME COMING

Karna was awake next day of his completion of studies. He was doing his Surya pooja. He was very sad that he has leave Kailash Parvat. These 12 years were nothing but blessings to him, he thanked the old lady numerous times that indirectly through her he is what he is today. He was eternally great full that he received his education from Mahadev and Mata Parvati. He only got love and care on Kailash parvat. Even after mistakes he got positive reinforcement but today he would have to leave this heaven and return to cruel society which gave nothing but insults and mockery for him. After pooja he came to place where Mahadev usually meditates.

Everyone was present there Mahadev was meditating. Seeing him they all smiled at him, Mahadev feeling his presence just opened his eyes.

Lord Shiva (smiles) : Putra karna, kal tumhare siksha samaapt hui Putra. Ab tumhe samaj mein wapas jaake apna daitva nibhana hai.
( Son now is time for you to go and do you pat for humanity)

Karna : Mai jaanta hoon guru dev par hridaya jaane ko maan hi nahi raha.
( I know but don't want to go)

Mata Parvati : Putra tumhe jane dene ka maan toh humara bhi nahi kar raha, tumhe humne ladakpan se Yuvan mein dhalte dekha, tumhari harmari  taraf shardha, prem aur bhakti bhav ko humne bhi mahsoos kiya hai Putra. Humne toh tumhe apna Putra hi maana hai. Parantu har ek ke jivan ka kuch uddeshya hota hai. Tumhare jivan ka uddeshya uche warg ke logo ko yeh batlane ke liye hua hai gunn se manushyon ki pahchan hoti hai. Jaao Putra samaj ka kalyan karo.
( Son we also don't want you to go but you have to go and help other oppressed people and let upper caste know talent is bigger than birth)

Lord Shiva : Putra tumhe apna vachan smaran hai na?
(Son do tou remember your promise)

Karna : Ji Gurudev.
(Yes teacher)

Lord Shiva : Putra tumne ripus par niyantran kar liya hai lekin main jannta hoon ki tum Krodh par poorna niyantran mein samrth nahi ho isiliye tum dhayan pratidin karna aur kisi ki jagah par uske liye krodh mat karna yeh karan hi hai ki aaj ke brahman aur kshatriya Devon ke sthan par vaisya aur suta par atyachar karte hai. Putra tum ek uttam Yodha ho aur ek uttam dhanurdhar bhi parantu Putra shrest hone ki iqcha rakho Putra sarvshrestra kuchi bhi nahi Putra.
( Son go and control your ander , do meditation daily, let the world know of you talent)

Karna was taken back, he nodded.

Mahadev and Mata Parvati : Ab jao Putra apna daitva poorn karo.
+Go and complete yor responsibility)

Karna bowed and touched thier feet.

Karna : Guru dev! mata! Aapne toh mujhse Guru Dhakchina ke vishay mein bola hi nahi. Kripya is balak ko is punya se vanchit mat rakhiye.
(Teachers you didn't ask for anything in exchange for giving me education please do so)

Mata Parvati (smiles) : Putra dakshina to humne shiksha poorv hi maang li thi tumhara vachan ke tum dharam ke Marg par hi chaloge. Humare liye yahi paryapt hai Putra.
(We have earlier asked for your oth that's enough)

Mahadev smiled.

Karna nodded : Apne is Putra ko ashirwad dijiye mai ab prasthan karta hoon.
(Blees me)

Mata Parvati : Yashasvi bhava Putra. Kirtiman bhava.
(Have hour have dignity through out your life)

Mahadev : Ayushman bhava Putra. Vijaya bahva. Ajaya bhava.
(Long live, be victorious, be undefeated)

Karna went ahead and took blessings from everyone. Then he started his journey towards Hastinapur. On the way karna tried and helped anybody in need.
On his way he came across a village suffering from famines due to lack of rain he immediately took out his sitar from Mata Lakhmi's pouch which was on his waist he not only carries his weapons but all essentials in it. As per Devi Saraswati's boon he immediately called for monsoon. Soon dark clouds were over whole village but it still didn't rain he immediately fasted his pace and called for rain but Devraj Indra came there and was angry.

Indradev (angrily) : Kaun ho tum murk balak jo meri agya ke bina barish ka ahvahan kr raha hai?
(Who are you to help them rain)

Karna : Devraj Indra Pranipat. Main karn hoon yeh gaon sukhe se buri tarah prabahvit hai kripaya meghoh ko barish ka adesh dein.
(I am karna helping the as drought is upon them please let it rain)

Indradev : Murk balak yeh gaon isiliye prabhavit hai kyu ki  sabhi gaon vasiyon ne meri aradhna chod krishna ki aradhna prarambh ki hai. Yahi inka dand hai.
(No this their punishment for stop worshipping me )

Karna : Parantu Devraj aradhna kiski ho ye toh aradhna karne wale pe ashrita hai. Kripa kar aap apna dharm nibhaiye aur varsha kijiye.
(Who they worship depends on them, please do your work and let it rain)

Indradev : Dussahasi mujhe dharm ka gyan de raha hai. Main Devraj Indra hoon tum manushyon se shrest hoon. Main akhri baar tujhe chetata hoon mujhse kshama maang le aur yahan se chala ja.
(How dare you go away and ask for my forgiveness first)

Karna : Mujhe aapko shrest maanne mein koi aapatti nahi hai Devraj kintu aap adharm kr rahe hai aur main adharmiyon se kshama nahi maangta. Maine mere guruon ko samaj kalyan ka aur adharm rokne ka vachan diya hai main iski poorti kiye bina nahi jaaonga.
(I don't mind asking for forgiveness but you are wrong and I will not go till it rains)
Indradev : Toh thik hai murk apne maut par aatur hai tu toh phir wahi sahi. Apni mrityu ke liye sahaj ho ja.
(The be prepared to die)

Both Indra dev and karna fought hard battle but karna was coming at the top. Indradev was getting angrier by the minute  battle prolonged. Karna kavach was out for display and was protesting him but anger clouded Devraj mind. In the end he summoned his vajra and launched the towards karna. Karna sees vajra he can also launch a devastating weapon but it will destroy the village he wanted to save, then he remembered story behind vajra how it was made from ashes of one of greatest Shiv devotee Rishi dadhitjii he humblaly folded his hands and devotionally chanted “om namah shivaya ”.  Vajra turned into garland around his neck. Indradev was surprised by the his turn of events and became calm. His all anger was utilised in this battle, he now was looking karna carefully and noticed suryadev's kavach and kundals in him. He now remembered about disciple of Mahadev and Mata Parvati who was tested few days before and how he completed his training. He was shocked to see karna as not all Dev's were invited for test so they didn't know how he looked but know about him as he was hot topic in swarglok. He knows karna was not allowed to speak about his teachers so he will keep it that way

Indradev : Vatsya karna, Main tumhare parakam ko naman karta hoon.
(Karn iam impressed,you are great warrior)

Karna : Nahi indradev aap mujhse bade hai aap naman ke nahi kintu ashirwad dene ke adhikari hai.
(No Indra you are elder please bless me)

Kand went ahead and touched his feet

Indradev : Kalyan ho Putra. Mai tumse prasann hua maango kya iqcha hai tumhari.
( I am happy ask something from me)

Karna : Indra dev aap is gram ko varsha ka Uphaar dein.
(Let it rain)

Indradev : Thatastu. Mai tumse aur bhi prasann hua put mai tumhe vasvi shakti pradan karta hoon tum iska prayog 3 baar kar sakoge. Aayushman bhava Putra.
(Ok, ialso give you my weapon which you will be able to use 3 times)

Indradev left and rain started falling on village. Karna also left. One month later karna reached on the gates of Hastinapur. He was immediately captivated by nostalgia and remembered all good and bad memories of his childhood. One thing karna was more excited about was to meet his radha maa after all these years.
