Karna's Death in Mahabharata
Karna, also known as Vasusena, Anga-raja, and Radheya, is one of the main protagonists of the Hindu epic Mahābhārata. He is the son of the sun god Surya and princess Kunti, and thus a demigod of royal birth. He born with an armor know as Karachi and earrings known as Kundal that protected him from all forms of terrors.
To know about the death of Karna, it his important to know the two curses that influenced his death. These two curses were given to him by his Guru Parashuram and the second by a Brahmana.
While Parashurama is sleeping, a terrible worm penetrated his thigh with his teeth. Even after terrible pain, Karna did not move as he does not want to disturb his guru. His thigh was pierced, and eventually, blood starts coming out of his thighs.
When Parashurama wake up, he saw the blood coming out from Karna’s wound (घाव).
He immediately figures out that Karna is not a Brahmana. He knows that a Brahmana is not able to bear the pain for so long.
Parashurama becomes angry as Karna lied to him about being a brahmana in the greed for weapons.
The second curse of the Karna was also during his time in Parashuram’s hermitage. Once he was roaming around alone on the shores of the ocean along with a sword and a bow. He started practicing his archery (तीरंदाजी) skills with his bow and arrow. But accidentally, he kills the cow of a Brahmana.
The Brahmana gets angry. He curses him to be killed by his enemy when his attention is diverted in the middle of combat.
So when Indra approaches him as a Brahmin, he already knew that it was Devraj Indra. Still, he gave his Kavach and Kundal to Indra.
Indra after seeing this feel embarrassed and asked him to accept a gift in return. Karna initially refused the offer saying he did not give charity expecting anything in return.
But after the request of all Gods, sages, and celestial beings, he asked for Vasavi Shakti (Indra Shakti). Indra granted the boon with a condition that Karna could use this weapon only once.
