WHAT KARNA LEARNED FROM PARSHURAMA.

KARNA DID HAVE THE BRAHMASHIRA WEAPON! For a long time. People have debated whether Karna possessed such mahaastras or not. Today I would like to clear those doubts. First! KARNA’S SOURCE FOR THE GREAT BRAHMASHIRA WEAPON. There is only way for Karna to have this weapon. It is to get it from Prabhu Parshurama. Now did Parshurama have this weapon? He did! Source:−[Sarga] 27,Book:Bala Kanda−TheYouthful Majesties, Valmiki Ramayana After saying this, Śaṅkara taught him the Mantra (esoteric formula) that is extremely difficult to obtain and the following weapons etc. viz.—extremely miraculous coat of mail named Trailokyavijaya; the Brahmastra, Nāgapāśa (Serpentine noose), (missiles like) the Pāśupata which is very much inaccessible, Nārāyaṇāstra, the Āgneya (Arrow with the fìregod as deity), the Vāyavya (of the wind god), the Vāruṇa (of Varuṇa the ocean-god), the Gāndharva, the Gāruḍa, the extremely wonderful weapon Jṛmbhaṇāstra, the mace, the Śakti, the Paraśu (Axe) the trident and the excellent Daṇḍa (baton) So he definitely possessed such astras and could have definitely taugh these weapons to Karna. 2) WHAT KARNA LEARNED FROM PARSHURAMA. Karna basically learned all of Parshurama’s astras. Karna, Dronacharya, Bhisma and Ashvathma are stated to have the knowledge of all the Brahma weapons. Point to be noted: Only Vaikartana Karna specifically among these students of Parshurama received the Vijaya Bow and was stated to be Parshurama’s favourite student. Narada himself said that Lord Parashurama taught Karna everything about the Brahmastra which directly proves that Karna did possess Brahmashirsa. 3) KARNA’S OVERALL SKILL LEVEL! He basically was considered to be Parshurama’s best student. He is easily counted among the top Atirathas of the era. 4) BRAHMASTRA AND BRAHMASHIRA ARE VARIANTS OF THE SAME WEAPON! Both Vyasa and Arjuna refered to the Brahmashira weapon as a Brahmashtra. If they are indeed different,then why would the statment Stated that Arjuna knew how to withdraw “Brahmastra”? Now when King Parikshit was hit by the weapon, there are zero mentions of Brahmasira weapon, only Brahmastra. This is mentioned again, how Asvathamma used a “Brahmastra” to kill Parishit.
