You seem to loves use some people said/agree etc, ok, tell me their name, cite them probably, you so far have cite nothing, not even of your original claim of what Krishna said, while displaying gross misunderstanding Mahabharata in general, like saying that BORI is a translation, nope, BORI CE is not a translation, It's a critical edition of the original texts.all while claiming modern version potray Karna in worse light when it the other way atound. I could just as well says that many scholars agree that Arjuna is the superior warrior, know many hardcore reader like myself that recommend BORI.

you listed some claim that Karna is superior, meanwhile, I listed several point, on why They are, for the most part equal, with Arjuna being slightly better, including details on their final duel.

don't apply some Standard of modern entertainment into ancient epic like Mahabharata, not to mention that BORI is not a fking translation in the goddamn first place.

" AFAIK gods blessings to Arjuna are always higher than usual blessings-- and Karna perform that feat with hardly any blessings as he want to prove to Surya that his skill will triumph.

do you know that Karna also receive many free handout just because "He's Karna"? both are very hard working and even if they get handout often, most of Arjuna accomplishment is from his own hard works, same with Karna.

on BORI

"what makes BORI translation, without doubt, invalidated their research then?"

First, BORI CE is not a translation, It's a critical edition of the original texts, Second, BORI’s Critical Edition has involved more scholars and time, in its making, and it is much more systematically researched compared to any other, by a joint effort of various scholars, who have collaborated almost all the manuscripts of Mahabharate, that are available on the planet, over a 60 years. Thus it is a recognized Critical Edition.

also BORI’s Critical Edition is pro-Pandava really?

In KMG’s English translation of Mahabharat, the Pandavas burn down the Lakshagriha, unaware of the presence of the Nishadas. Whereas, in BORI’s Critical Edition, the Pandavas knowingly burn down the palace, so that the corpses of the Nishadas can be mistaken as theirs.
