"KARNA" - the greatest warrior as danveer

Karna was a great danveer. Below are some facts which made Karna the great danveer.

1. Kavach and Kundal

       Before the Kurukshetra war, the king of Gods, Devraj Indra, disguise as a brahmin, came to Karna at the early morning when he was praying to Sun god. Indra knew that Karna would not leave anyone free of hands at morning after his prayer. 

   After completion of his prayer, Karna saw a brahmin in front of him begging for some thing. He immediately recognize the brahmin as Indra,because his father Lord Sun has informed him about Indra. Karna then ask the brahmin to beg for anything . Indra ( still as brahmin ) asked for his kavach and kundal, which was given to Karna at the time of his birth by Sun, to protect him.

Karna then happily donated his Kavach and Kundal to Indra and told him to come in his real form. 

  Indra then surprised at his danveerness and gave him a shakti (Vasavi shakti) astra, which could be used only once.

2. Give life to her 4 sons to Kunti

             In the same way one day Kunti too came to Karna and asked for her son's life. Karna, then promised her that in the war  he would never kill her 4 sons except Arjuna. He also tells that if he kills Arjuna then Kunti will have 5 sons, or if Arjuna kills him, still she has 5 sons. No matter what would the result, Kunti will always be remembered as the mother of 5 sons.

3. The Golden teeth

    Karna had a golden teeth in his mouth. After Arjun stuck karna with the Anjali astra,he was lying in the bed of death. Krishna tells Arjuna, that Karna was not a danveer only, he was a maha danveer. Arjuna did not believe it. So, Krishna told Arjuna that he would show him. Saying that, disguised as a brahmin, Krishna went near to Karna and asked him to give his golden teeth. Without any hesitation Karna took a stone and broke his teeth, which is covered by blood, and gave it to Krishna. Krishna (still as brahmin) told that he would not take the teeth covered with blood. Karna then took his Dhanush and released an arrow which made rain the war. He then washed these teeth and gave it to Krishna. Krishna then retured to his original form and blessed Karna.
