Kodaka, I'm not saying my version stand above you. My questioning about BORI version is caused by how most of Mahabharata geek I saw not taking it seriously compare to KMG ver and they do have a lot of question following how the story is justifying Pandavas enough that they said it reduce Kauravas into "bad guys with some good quality".

As I said myself, its only a part of memories on my side. I'm fine with you're not taking me seriously as I cannot gave my source, but you can't deny its also part of Mahabharata that understood by some reader.

If you insists your version is more valid, then why? Especially with us originally talking about power level here, not about who score victory the most as the answer is Arjuna (and Khrisna) without doubt regardless what kind of method they did to achieve the victory.

And no, there is clear difference between Arjuna and Karna power level, at least based on version I once read.

Karna got all of that blessings, including curses, mainly because of him stay true to his words which is the theme of his character.

As much Karna received blessings, its still less than what Arjuna received as there is no Khrisna favoritism involved, unlike Arjuna that easily score victory here and there with Khrisna and other gods aid which supposed to be cheat by comparison but "Its OK, because they are siding with Adharma and we're the main character with mission to make the world better".

I myself not taking version which Karna begged Arjuna to hold on at his last moment seriously as it made Karna part very weird, given how Karna on most versions supposed to be aware of his curse and fate, and he is not really bothered with it.

Parashurama who is mentor of Bhisma and Karna pretty much convinced that Karna is better student than Bhisma who already have a lot of good qualities to start, yet he got that begging part while Bhisma part taking how most version depicted his defeat?

I personally not believe someone said by Parashurama to be better than Bhisma ended up begging to hold on until he finished fixing his chariot. Not when blessed Gandharvas launch an all-out attack on him, and he have to deal it with ordinary weapons as no one covered his back.
