robabrue Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Which Online text is the most detailed? I have the Kisari Mohan Ganguli, which is the Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa. Ive heard there are two main versions. There is one with 15,000 verses and one with 100,000 verses. I want to read the 100,000 verses version (even though i believe the shorter one is the ved vyasa's original text). Any advice and links to a good version of the text will be greatly appreciated. Also, I want to start a discussion on whether Karna (another forum already established that he is the greatest archer in the mahabharat) is the greatest warrior in Hindu Texts in general (i dislike when people call it mythology, because I and many people these stories are accurate). First and foremost, he is invincible and was born with invincible armor (Indra did take it away). Nevertheless, Purshurama claimed that Karna was atleast as great in the arts of warfare as purshurama. Purshurama esentially obliterated the kshatryia race. Also, Krishna made references that Karna was able to defeat Indra, Krishna himself, and even Hunuaman. He was consistently called peerless. What are your guys thought?
