What was the previous births of Arjuna,Bheeshma etc

[Guest guest]

What were the previous Births of people in Mahabaratha,because they say its their Karma to die in the battle(whoever died despite being in the side of Krsna or the side of Duryodana).

For instance we all know Karna was the son of Sun GOD and was equal if not greater to Arjuna and if not for Krsnas timely help and all other curses that he got he couldve killed Arjuna in the battle(the nagastra that narrowly missed Arjuna),same way Arjuna was a mighty warrior too and till this date if u analyse all those characters in Mahabaratha were great in their own ways like Abhimanyu,Drona etc...but some died and some lived based on their Karma in that birth as well as past.Some due to unfortunate circumstances and cause of which they had to side so and so at certain points and some due to their will chose to die etc..the list goes long,but is there any reference (accurate reference)as to what their past lives where?

Bheeshma was also considered a warrior who cant be defeated if not for the unfortunate circumstances

I am surprised as to why there is no answer for this,is it that hard a question?In Mahabaratha there is no reference to it,they say its the reason of their past actions some where born comfortable and some were not and had to be in circumstances that were unfavourable,but no one seem to know their past,interesting.

hinduism is a open religion
