Reproofed and corrected by David King "The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, Volume 3" by Kisari Mohan Ganguli is an epic poem translated into English prose, written during the late 19th century. This volume, particularly focusing on the "Karna-parva," delves into the monumental and tragic battles between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, centered around key characters like Karna and Arjuna. The themes prominently include duty, honor, fate, and the devastating cost of war. The opening portion introduces the aftermath of the death of Drona, a pivotal moment in the epic, impacting both armies deeply. We see the Kauravas, especially Duryodhana and Karna, grappling with the enormity of their losses, and their resolve to continue the battle despite overwhelming grief and despair. Sanjaya, the charioteer of Dhritarashtra, recounts the events leading up to the fierce battle where Karna takes command against the Pandavas. This segment vividly portrays the sorrow of the fallen warriors, the anxiety of the surviving leaders, and sets the stage for Karna's significant role as the newly appointed general amid a backdrop of impending conflict and rivalry.
