Galaab, Ambalika was a sister of Amba and Ambika. And no she was not dasi or anything like that... Ambika and Ambalika were married to king of Hastinapur whereas Amba, after feeling degraded had even gone to Bhishma's Guru; Parshuramji. Bhisma eventually defeated Parshuramji as well. when he stood up against Bhisma ( a khstriya). It was not a war of hatered but of principle. Anyways, relation between Amba and Bhisma eventually(among other things) decided Mahabharat's war. coz withour Bhisma going down, the war would have never stopped, or Kauravs would have been vitorious. ******************* "The brahma astra which is mention in mahabharat equal to atomic bomb of present era and only given to karan and arjun " --> Brahma astra was not only with Karna & Arjun. It was with many other great warriors, such as Bhisma, Dhronacharya, Ashwothama ( rem he actually killed Abhimanyu's son inside Uttara's Womb, which krishna eventually made alive), Parshuram and few others. Yes it was supposed to be the most powerful " Achuk Astra" along with few other ones i.e: Pashupath Astra, Shakti astra ( which Indra gave to Karna.. which was so fierce that Krishna did not let Arjun come near Karna till he got rid of Shakti Ashtra, after killing Ghatochkach)..these three were achuk asktras.. aru pani hola ehehe *********************** "He didnot take karma for granted coz he was rival of arjun but he saw it was not far for someone who is good warrior to be discrimated by Dronacharya..." -----> Indeed he did not take Karna for granted. How could anyone? Karna was one of the most accomplised warrior of that era and perhaps of all the era (according to accolads from Krishna and many others). He was protected with "Kawach and Kundal" which no weapon could pierce, in other words making him almost invincible. He had defeated all the Kings of Bharat Varsha alone ( apart from the ones close to or related to Hastinapur). He was Guru bhai of none other than Bhisma and Dhronacharya. My point is - Duryodhan actually went to war pinning on Karna ( He himself have mentioned it many times). Its another thing that Bhisma actually never allowed him to participate in war till he was "Pradhan Senapati". Later he agreed that he did it to protect Arjun or Karna. And about Dhhuryodhan making Karna a King coz he did not see it as fair for someone being discriminated by DhronC is not true. When Karna went to DhronC he rejected it saying the school is only for Royals. But neither his son was royal nor could he ans baby Karna's question " Does mother Sarswati asks question about ones parents b4 giving sicha daan".. "Is sichaa " Dayee hein acharya?" And Duryodhan made karna a king only when he came to challenge Arjun when they were declaring Arjun as "swarwashrestha Dhanurdhar" in Hastinapur's trial of Yuvraj's (what they learned till now bhanera)... infacts thats when Kunti also realised that Karna was her son, the one she so heartlesslty threw away in the river. Seeing Karna's immense power and Birta, Duryodhan did a comendable and clever job to make him King so that he can challege Arjun as that trial was only for Chettriya and royal rajkumars. Anyways, what Duryodhan did for Karna, dictated Karna's whole life. Karna indeed was a great warrior, perhaps the greates of his generation ( He even defeated Arjun in Mahabharat, but did not kill him coz Surya asta bhayera but eventually fell victim to Yudh ko niyam Ulangaan by same Arjun the very next day, albeit Krishna's uksaune ma PHD degree bhayera..hahaha... Grrrrrrr... damn Krishna... Sabai Waha kai Khel ho. ehehe .. ..... I guess tats it for now.... perhaps more when i would get a lil tipsy..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its a saturday evening... :)....
