DIFFERENT SURYAPUTRA

Chapter 17

Karna: I am Radhey Vasusen.

Dronacharya: I don't care who you are? How dare you barge into competitions of Kuru princes and do this?

Karna: I did what any student should do, you challenged every archer and with it you challenged the teaching of every guru and I don't know about others but I couldn't take such behemish on name of my gurudev.

Dronacharya was stumped by his answers he couldn't answer, Kripacharya who saw everything decided to meddle in between. He knew of this person who used to take care of princes, he knew he was a Suta and his actions were not only insulting but rebellious to society.

Kripacharya: Vasusen, you are Suta. How dare you raise weapons? Who taught you the art of warfare, he should be punished along with you?

Karna was usually a very calm person but hearing it he couldn't help but get really angry, he knew none here was capable of doing what he said but he couldn't let these words unanswered. He looked at Kripacharya with so much anger that everyone who knew him stepped back, seeing the completely different Vasusen. Even Kauravas and Pandavas stepped back, seeing the anger of ever calm Vasusen. Kripacharya who was the target of his looks couldn't help but to stumble, he looked like a destroyer came and was looking at him to extinguish him. He sweated badly from forehead and though wanted to stabilize himself he was frozen in fear. Especially the Quiet and chilling voice of Vasusen came,

Karna: It seems position among the royals made you arrogant and you forgot humility mahoday Kripa. Speak another word and see if everyone here is capable of stopping me to reach you and rip your head and heart with my bare hands.

His voice was nothing more than hiss but everyone who heard him felt the chill in their spine. Bhishma who was so shocked and hastily came out of his stupor,

Bhishma: Vasusen enough.

Karna looked at him with same anger in his eyes,

Karna: Mahamahim, be careful in choosing your words. I don't think you didn't recognise my bow and couldn't perceive who my teacher could be?

His words stopped Bhishma because he understood the gravity of his words very clearly, of course he could deduce everything.

Bhishma: I apologise for the words of Kripacharya, Vasusen.

Dhritarashtra: Why are you apolosing Tatshree?

Everyone was confused as well,

Karna: He should Maharaj. Because one who your kulguru wanted to punish to teach me is none other than the warfare guru of Mahamahim himself. Bhagwan Parshuram is my guru. I am Parashuram shishya as well and guru bharata of Mahamahim.

His words shocked everyone present there except parents of Karna, everyone then again looked at the youngbman who was extremely tall and handsome with a perfect astaratni body and deep voice. His face glowed like the sun and he now had a dangerous aura around him which was both scaring and attracting everyone towards him. They were looking at him very incredulously.

Vidhur: We apologise for the words of kripacharya as he is unaware of you being Parashuram shishya Vasusen but he didn't say anything wrong. You are Suta and you are not supposed to learn warfare.

Karna: Mahamantri, you are known as one of most intelligent and knowledgeable people in Aryavart, could you please give me one sloka from Veda that supports your claim. I promise you I would never lift my weapons if you can make me aware of it.

Vidhur was silenced by this statement of Karna, he knew this was a dangerous trap he couldn't answer because he was aware veda Varna vyavastha was based on talent and Karna was aware of it hence he said this. He knew Karna was extremely knowledgeable himself so all he could was to keep quiet but his silence spoke volume and the crowd was shocked.
