Describe the incident that mad parasurama realise that karna was not a brahman
Answers
Answer:
One day parasuramma slept with his head on karnas thigh causing him extreme pain. But he bore it quietly as he did not want to disturb his teacher's sleep. It started bleeding and parasuramma woke up and saw the blood and realised that karna was not a brahman because only a kshtria could remain unmoved under extreme bodily sufferings
Answer:
Karna was determined to learn archery. He decided to approach Parashurama, the chastiser of the kshatriyas. Knowing that the great sage hated warriors and kings, Karna decided to tell him that he was a brahmana, a priest.
Actually Karna's foster father was born of a mixed caste, a Brahmana and a Kshatriya; therefore he decided to request tutorship from the rishi despite the fact that he might be cursed or even killed.
It was now noontime, and the sun was at it's meridian. Feeling tired, Parashurama told Karna to bring him a roll of deerskin to use as a pillow. My lord, Karna replied, please use my lap as a pillow. I can at least do this service for the foremost of men. Parashurama then laid his head in his disciple's lap and fell fast asleep. Karna was meditating on all that had taken place over the past year. He had lied to the great sage telling him that he was a Brahmana. Would the reaction to this ever come upon him? His only desire was to acquire knowledge. The wise declare that the end justifies the means. He had not tried to commit any sin. Surely his small offense would be forgiven.
As Karna was thinking in this way, he felt a pain in his right thigh. The pain became unbearable. He looked down and saw a boar-like insect cutting into his skin. Karna could not stop it from penetrating his flesh. But what could he do? He did not deem it proper to awaken his guru. The insect bored right through his thigh and blood touched the face of Parashurama. The great brahmana awoke, and seeing the blood exclaimed, Where did the blood come from?
My lord, It came from my thigh, Karna answered. While you were sleeping, an insect bit me on the leg. It caused me pain for some time but I did not want to awaken you. Parashurama flared up with anger, You say this insect stung you, and you tolerated it? Why did you not awaken me and stop the pain?
My lord, replied Karna, you were asleep, and I did not want to disturb you. For this reason I have tolerated this pain. Parashurama was furious, How could a Brahmana bear so much pain? Only a kshatriya could have done so. Have I, after all this time, taught my astras to a sinful warrior? I will never forgive you for this deception.
Please don't insult rishi parasuram.
hope it helps you
