Karna was sitting on the stone stage built around a tree in Parshuram's Ashram. He was thinking about his past and what he will do in the future. He remembered that since birth he was an odd child. He was born with Kavach and kundala. Though he was a suta by caste, he was always interested in weapons. He was insulted various times for following his passion but he never gave up. He taught himself basics through seeing the soldiers practice. He became quite proficient in using all weapons like sword, mace, bow, spear and axe at a young age. He was not satisfied with it so he decided to go to Dronacharya to learn further but he was rejected by him and insulted by kuru princes. He was heartbroken and angry. In his anger he vowed to learn from the guru of Dronacharya. He did his research and found that Dronacharya' s guru was Bhagwan Parshuram who has vowed to teach brahman only. So he decided to pretend as a brahman to gain knowledge. He then came to Mahendragiri to seek out guru Parshuram disguising and pretending to be a Brahman.

Bhagwan Parshuram has accepted him as a disciple. He trained him, he gave him all his love. Karna too loved him a lot. He with his devotion towards his guru has impressed Bhagwan Parshuram enough that yesterday Bhagwan Parshuram gave him knowledge of Brahmastra, brahamsirastra and brahmanda astra. He was so impressed with him that he even gave him his personal creation Bhargavastra. He loved his guru as father and he knew Parshuram to reciprocate the feeling. He regretted lying to him every second of his life but because of his fear of his anger he was never able to tell him the truth. But he decided to tell him the truth this evening after his Surya pooja.

His thoughts broke when he saw his Guru Bhagwan Parshuram come out of meditation for his afternoon nap. Parshuram was going to use hard rock as a pillow seeing this he spoke.

Karna : Gurudev please don't use rock, please use my thighs as a pillow.

Seeing the devotion of Karna towards him. Bhagwan Parshuram too decided to sleep on his thighs. Karna used his angavastram to fan his guru. Bhagwan Parshuram slept and Karna was fanning him but suddenly an insect came and bit him in the other thigh but Karna endured this excruciating pain as he didn't want to disturb his gurudev's sleep. Blood started flowing and it reached Parshuram and he woke up.

Parshuram : Shiv Shiv where did the blood come from.

He saw karna bleeding badly from his other thigh. Seeing his guru wake up he caught the insect and threw it far away.

Karna : Nothing guru dev, it was just an insect bite.

Parshuram : Why didn't you wake me.

Karna : I didn't want to disturb your sleep gurudev.

Parshuram (angry) : Who are you Karna, you cannot be brahman as no brahman can have this much pain resistance for others. Don't dare to lie to me now Karna.

Karna (Shamefully) : Yes gurudev I have lied to you I am not a Brahman but a suta. I am sorry gurudev.

Parshuram : You are still lying to me Karna. You cannot be suta, only Kshatriye can have your pain resistance. How dare you lie to me again and again.

Karna : No Gurudev, I am a suta. My father is Gangaputr Bheeshma's charioteer and my mother is Radha maa.

Parshuram : It seems you are a big Adharmi, first you cheated me to gain knowledge and even now you aren't telling me the truth. You are born with Kavach and kundala and only brahman and kshatriya could do such penance because as the world is now only they have that knowledge. I never doubted Brahman because of it only. Even now you aren't accepting the truth and continuously lying to me about your caste. How dare you lie to me, you know very well that I don't teach kshatriya but even then you tricked me. I, Parshuram , curse you that whenever you need your knowledge the most, you will forget everything that you have learned from me.

Karna : I have lied to you before gurudev but I didn't lie to you now. I am really a sutputr. I was rejected by your student Drona on the basis of my caste and that is why I lied to you about being Brahman. I have accepted your knowledge so I will happily accept your curse as well. A student will always have dire need of his guru's knowledge every second he lives so from now on l will never wield a weapon gurudev.

Parshuram : I don't want to hear any of your excuses get out and never come back.

Karna : I will leave gurudev but before leaving please tell me your gurudakshina gurudev. You are my guru.

Parshuram : You have cheated me, I don't accept you as my student so there is no need for guru dakshina.

Karna : Please gurudev don't do this, you have punished me for my mistake but it would be a sin for me to not give you gurudakshina, also it will be an insult to you and I couldn't let it happen.

Parshuram : You have insulted me the most karna, no insult can be bigger than what you did. Even if I ask Gurudhkhsina I don't think you can give me that afterall you must have an agenda before coming to learn weapon fighting from me.

Karna : Gurudev I will give you what you want even if it is my life.

Parshuram : I can't believe anything you say. It is just as empty as you.

Karna : Gurudev for the last time believe me .

Parshuram (getting more angry) : Fine you seem to not let the matter go if I don't show you how empty your words are. So be it Karna if you can give me your Kavacha and kundala as it is divine and divinity should never be with Adharmi or he will use it to spread Adharm.

Karna was shocked by the request but Parshuram perceived it as hesitation and got more angry.

Parshuram : What happened Karna,you are hesitating. I know you cannot give it to me. Your words were empty. You know after getting my curse only you Kavach and Kundals can protect you at your most dire time. That is why you are hesitating. Hmph I knew you cannot give me gurudakshina. Everything was farce, your devotion, your love, they were nothing but medium to get close to me to gain knowledge and protect yourself if I ever knew about your truth. I am going somewhere else but before I come back leave from Mahendragiri otherwise I will kill you with my parshu and no Kavach and kundala will be able to protect you.

Parshuram left there directly, giving Karna a chance to speak. Truth was Parshuram was not only angry but heart broken by the thought of Karna betraying him. He has accepted him not just as a student but as a son. Knowing he lied to him he felt betrayed by the person he trusted, his favorite student. He was so angry that he didn't even want to look at karna. Otherwise he may have really beheaded him so he just left without seeing him at all. Had he waited a moment he would have seen an utterly broken Karna.

Karna stood there for a few seconds after Parshuram left. He was hurt by his gurudev distrust in him. He couldn't believe his one lie would be dreadful. He wasn't sad or angry at what was asked as guru dakshina from him but the utter loathing and disgusting tone of his father figure towards him has broken him. He who stood up against all the insults of society and endured all of it was now truly broken by words of one person he loved most after his mother. Tears started falling from his eyes. He steeled his heart and wiped his tears. He will prove that though he lied his love and respect for his guru was real. He will not let anyone not even his gurudev to question it even if it's the last thing he does. He summoned his divine weapons sword,spear,bow, axe and mace and left where his guru was standing a moment ago imagining his feet there. He took out a small knife from his holder and cut his part of ear where kundals were located it was painful but he didn't scream he didn't want his gurumata Dharini to come out of her hut because of his screams. He was sure she was busily meditating and angry voices of gurudev didn't break her meditation but his screams might. He also left them at his teacher's feet. He then summoned his Kavach and cut 3mm skin connected to it from top all the way to bottom as kavach was indestructible. He then got off it from his body and placed it with other things with trembling hands. He for the last time touched the place where his guru was standing. His whole body was bleeding and wounds of his thigh haven't healed yet but he remembered his guru's wish to leave and never come back to Mahendragiri again. He didn't have problems dying from his guru parshu but he didn't want him to feel bad after killing him. So he left there bleeding from the upper part of body and his thighs. He limped downward the mountain after fifty steps it became impossible for him to do both move and remain conscious but he decided to continue. Slowly but not steadily he moved from Mahendragiri. After reaching the foot of the mountain he couldn't continue and fell unconscious. He left a trail of blood behind him. He was sure he would die in a few moments due to blood loss. He was sad that he wouldn't be able to see hi Radha maa one last time. He regretted not seeing his parents and not leaving his stubbornness to learn weapons. He should have listened to his father and should have been satisfied as suta.
