Suryadev saw everything that happened between Karna and Parshuram. He became sad when Karna got cursed. Once again Karna was getting punished for a sin that he didn't truly commit. Parshuram loved karna that he could see because Parshuram gave the opportunity to admit he was Kshatriye if karna would have known what he truly was, maybe such a drastic situation could be avoided. Parshuram may have only ordered kana to leave his hermitage if Karna would have known and admitted being Kshatriye. Alas because of him not knowing his own truth Parshuram cursed him and considered him Adharmi. He became pale by the increasingly second hearing Bhagwan Parshuram and when he demanded the kavach and kundala. Seeing his utterly broken sun his heart broke into pieces. The sun was dimmed when Karna had cut off his kundal and kavach from his body. When Karna became unconscious the whole world became dark as suryadev couldn't see any more but he blamed himself. So being ashamed and guilty he locked himself up. Sudden darkness made chaos in the world dev, asur, rakshasa, humans everyone began panicking.

In devlok every Dev's came to Devraj Indra to know what is happening.

Agni dev : What is going on Devraj. Why is there sudden darkness in the world?

Vayu dev : yes Devraj where is suryadev? This will lead to the destruction of the whole world.

Indradev : I don't know what is happening. Lets go to Mahadev to see what is happening?

AT DWARKA

Balram : What is happening, Kanha? Why has Suryadev suddenly disappeared?

Krishna (sadly) : It is not the darkness but the helplessness of a father.

Balram : What are you saying, Kanha? speak clearly, this isn't time for your puzzles.

Krishna : A great injustice has happened today. This is the effect of that. A guru has punished a student for a mistake but he went too far.

AT KAILASH PARVAT

Parvati : Arya Parshuram has gone too far. In his anger.

Mahadev : Priye, he loved Karna too much that's why he was angered too much.

Parvati : Arya, Karna have sacrificed far too much for one mistake.

Mahadev : His mistake was also that big but you are telling the truth he has lost far too much.

Parvati : Now Suryadev is blaming himself, we have to do something or the world will be destroyed.

Suddenly all Dev's except Suryadev appeared there.

Indradev : Pranipat Mahadev and Mata Parvati.

Mahadev : Pranipat dev gan.

Indradev : What is happening , Prabhu and why is it happening?

Mahadev : It is the helplessness of a father. Suryadev is feeling guilty that is why he has hidden himself.

Indradev : But lord his sons are safe in swarglok.

Mata Parvati : His mortal son is in danger and he feels guilty because he was unable to help him.

Indradev : But prabhu surya dev can't do this for his one son the balance of nature will ruin because of him hiding himself.

Mahadev : Don't worry we are going to him only.

Saying that Mahadev and Mata Parvati disappeared from there. The other Deva followed them.

AT MAHENDRAGIRI

Parshuram saw the darkness and returned to his hermitage. His anger still didn't die down but he was worried for his wife. He went directly to his hut and saw his wife meditating. Feeling his presence she opened her eyes. Seeing Parshuram dharini knew he was angry.

Dharini : Aarya why are you Angry and where is putr vasu.

Parshuram : Don't call that cheater son, Dharini.

Dharini : What happened?

Parshuram told her everything. Hearing about Karna lying broke her heart but after listening about curse and Gurudhkhsina she opened her eyes wide, she immediately stood up and ran towards the tree where all things happened. Seeing Dharini run like that Parshuram too followed her. They both saw from a distance that despite the darkness there was something shining there. They both reached there and saw Karna's weapons, kavach and kundala there. Kavach and kundala were soaked in dried blood. Dharini started wailing her heart out clutching Karna's kavach and Kundala.

Dharini : How could you do this Aarya, you cursed him for lying that I can understand but how could you doubt his love and devotion towards you. He had endured so much pain to not disturb your sleep yet you doubted his love for you. Look he left the proof of his love and devotion towards you. My son is in what condition he left here. How much pain was he in. Look how much blood is here. He didn't even scream bearing such pain. Aarya we never had kids, Karna has fulfilled that void for me if something happened to him, I will never forgive you.

Parshuram was too stunned seeing all Karna's weapons and his divine Kavach and kundala. His anger turned into regret. He loved Karna like his son. What Dharini said was right, they never had kids but Karna was like a son to him he was different from his other students. Bheeshma was training under him in order of his mother Ganga and Drona have come only to gain knowledge of weapons from him. It doesn't mean they didn't respect him as a teacher but that was it for both of them. They both just obediently followed their teacher. Karna was different; he was respectful and sometimes naughty. He questioned him to know the reason behind something he didn't like. With him it was truly like how Parshuram imagined parenthood would be like. That was the reason his lies hurt him the most but seeing everything in front of him he regretted his words.

Parshuram : Shiv Shiv what have I done.

IN SURYALOK

Mahadev and Mata Parvati appeared. Devi Sarana and devi chaya greeted them. They told them that Suryadev had locked himself in the room. Mahadev called Suryadev and Suryadev appeared.

Suryadev (sadly) : Pranipat Mahadev and Mata Parvati.

Mahadev : Pranipat Suryadev.

Suryadev. : I know what I did was wrong, but I can't help it. Why did Karna always have to face injustice. Sage Durvasa gave a boon to an irresponsible woman. Despite his warning she stupidly used it and summoned me. Being bound by a boon I had to give her child. To protect him I gave kavach and kundala. Then his mother flew a one day old baby to Ganga. Despite being Kshatriye he was brought up as a sut, instead of calling him Suryaputra the society insulted him by calling sutputra. He was rejected to get knowledge which everyone should have. He made one mistake and got cursed but that too was enough of his suffering he had to cut off his kavach and kundala to give in dakshina and for what knowledge he has already decided to never use. He got cursed not because he lied the first time but because Parshuram thought Karna was deceiving him again and again, what is Karna's fault in all this. Is it his mistake that his birth mother abandoned him or he doesn't know the truth about himself? Why does niyati seem to be extra cruel to him only? What many adharms my son had done except one. Why is he always being punished for other people's mistakes?

Mahadev : Yes you are right Suryadev not everything is his mistake. But now is not the time for these discussions. We have to save him first so that he can live and for that you need to restore the balance of nature and provide sunlight to the world and who knows by doing what Karna did has saved him from a disturbing future.

Suryadev nodded and restored sunlight to the world. Mahadev and Mata Parvati nodded and left there to save Karna. They reached the foot of Mahendragiri and saw karma laying there in a pool of his blood and it looked like he was taking his last breath. Mahadev lifted his hand and white ray of light came from his hand and fell onto Karna, his wounds started healing at a rate visible to naked eyes. Karna trembled and tried to scream but he was too weak for that too. After a few minutes Karna's body returned to normal and he opened his eyes to see Mahadev and Mata Parvati here.

Karna : Pranipat Bhagwan.

Divine couple : Kalyan ho.

Karna : Thank you for saving me.

Mahadev : I am impressed by your will to give gurudhkhsina Karna ask me something.

Karna : Prabhu, I just repaid my debt to my Guru. I don't need anything for that if he would have asked for a head I would have happily given to him. I don't need anything for that. You both have come to heal me. That is more than enough for me.

Mata Parvati : We are impressed by your devotion towards your guru. It's true that you can't ask anything from us but we have come here so we have to give something to you. Take it as our blessing.

Karna : Mata if it's your blessing I will gladly accept it.

Mata Parvati : I lift Parshuram's curse from you and bless you to be undefeatable. nobody except tri devs will be able to defeat you

Mahadev : I bless you to be the next best archer the world has ever seen after me and give you my pashupatastra.

Karna : But Prabhu and Mata I have decided to not wield weapons.

Mahadev : Putra the cycle of time and destiny never goes according to one's wish. One day you have to lift your weapon. Remember Karna the silence of capable people is the biggest reason Adharm prevails in society.

Mata Parvati : Remember Putra there is no bigger Dharm than humanity.

Karna : Ok Prabhu and Mata, if I saw an adharm big enough that I have no choice but to lift weapons that day I will lift my weapon again. But till then I will remain firm on my promise.

Mahadev : Thathastu Putra.

Mahadev and Mata Parvati were about to leave but when they suddenly heard footsteps they turned around to see Parshuram and Dharini were there. Dharini saw Karna alright and immediately hugged him ignoring her surrounding he tears were flowing endlessly. After leaving her hermit with Parshuram they both saw the trails of blood on their way. The trail itself told them about Karna's struggle to reach the foot of Mahendragiri. Parshuram too came and hugged Karna. Mahadev and Mata Parvati smiled seeing this.

Dharini : Putra, mera Putra vasu that to Mahadev you are alright.

Karna : Yes mata it was thanks to them and they are standing right here.

Karna words immediately jerked Parshuram and Dharini out of their stupor and they saw a divine couple standing there smiling.

Dharini : Pranipat Bhagwan, mata

Parshuram : Pranipat Gurudev, Mata.

Divine couple : Kalyan ho.

Dharini : Thank you both of you, otherwise I thought I had lost my son.

Parshuram : you have saved me from sin, gurudev and Mata.

Mahadev : No it was your student who saved you Parshuram, seeing his love and devotion towards you we just couldn't let the situation be

Mata Parvati : This time your anger could lead to disaster Parshuram. Be very careful and in future don't let it cloud your judgment and let it direct your actions.

Parshuram : I know Mata. My anger today would have cost me my favorite student, a son and my wife. Today I really became blind in my anger.

Karna : No gurudev it was my fault I should have told you the truth long before but I did tell you the truth I am a suta.

Parshuram was confused hearing this, from the look in Karna's eyes he could deduce he was telling the truth. He was sure Karna was Kshatriye and not an ordinary mortal. Sun's symbol on his Kavach and sudden darkness today has led him to believe he was related to Suryadev. He looked towards the divine couple and saw the sadness in their eyes. He immediately understood there was something going on. He just nodded.

Parshuram : Putra, it didn't matter but in. My overwhelming anger I cursed you, questioned your loyalty, called you Adharmi and took away your divine Kavach and kundala how would I ever live with this. The guilt is killing me.

Kana immediately fell to his feet.

Karna : Don't say that gurudev, your curse was like a boon to me, your anger showed how you loved me and how much I truly hurt you. Gurudev I can live with your curses but seeing you in pain because of me is something I couldn't live with. The curse has already been lifted and your presence here showed me that you have forgiven me. I don't need anything else.

Parshuram : What about your kavach and kundala Putra.

Karna : Gurudhkhsina was you right gurudev if you have even asked for my life I would have happily given it to you. For me there is nothing more important than your blessings. Not even my kavach and kundala.

Parshuram : I know Putra, that is the reason guilt has been killing me. Before arriving here I know even if you would have been on your last breath you would have said the same thing. But I can't live with such a burden. Putra help your teacher to lessen his burden and accept your Kavacha and kundala back.

Karna : But gurudev it was your gurudakshina I can't take it back. It will be adharm and disrespectful to you.

Mahadev : No Putra it will be neither disrespect nor dharm.

Karna looked at Mahadev and decided to ask a question that was bothering him after he heard Mahadev calling his gurudakshina Adharm.

Karna : How can Dharm become Adharm Mahadev?

Parshuram and Dharini smiled hearing the question, it was Karna's nature to question if he didn't understand something. It is this quality that separates him from rest he didn't blindly follow what was said to him. No Matter if it was said by a commoner or by tridevs he will question it bravely.

Mahadev (smiles) : Karna dharma is something that liberates if your gurudakshina is burdening your guru it will become Adharm. Help Parshuram to lessen his burden.

Kana (nodded) : But I can't wear it like it was normal Kavach as it has been blended in my skin since birth.

Mahadev : That is true it can be only done by one who provided you kavach and kundala in the first place.

Mahadev closed his eyes and called suryadev, suryadev appeared there smiling.

Suryadev : Pranipat Mahadev, Mata Parvati, Bhagwan Parshuram and Devi Dharini.

All four of them : Kalyan ho.

Karna : Pranipat Suryadev. You are my to be worshiped since childhood. Seeing you today has given me immense pleasure.

Suryadev : It is a pleasure for me to Putra.

Only four divine beings caught the undertone and love in the word Putra. Parshuram was sure Karna was related to Surya Dev but how he decided to find out later.

Karna : Why have you come here?

Suryadev : I was the one to give you these kavach and kundala so I came here to reunite it with your body.

Karna : Why have you given it to me in the first place?

Suryadev : That will be revealed to you at the right time. Now let me help to merge it back with you.

Everyone nodded and Suryadev started chanting mantras slowly, kavach and kundala at hermitage disappeared and appeared here. It was soaked in blood so Mahadev put his hand on his head and summoned some gangajal to wash it and purify it further. He washed the divine set and it became more glowing as this gangajal not only has pure water of mata ganga but some yogic powers of Mahadev. Suryadev then merged both back to Karna's body as before. Seeing this Parshuram blessed Karna.

Parshuram : Putra I have cursed you before now I will bless you that no one in this world will ever take your Kavacha and kundala away.

After everything Mahadev, Mata Parvati and Suryadev left after blessing Karna again. Dharini grabbed Karna's arm and told her to stay for today and leave tomorrow as it was already late. They all went to the Ashram. Dharini served the food and fed it to Karna with her own hands. They all went to perform dusk pooja and after returning Karna decided to help Dharini in her chores. Parshuram left aside and closed his eyes. He finally decided to look at the life of Karna till now. He saw his birth, abandonment, him meeting his adopted parents, his childhood, struggles, insults, rejection. He became very angry and sighed that his student/ son has to go through all the struggle since birth. Soo. Dinner was served and like before Dharini fed Karna. They all slept.

The next day, karna woke up and did his pooja. He came to his guru Pita and Mata to ask their permission to leave. They blessed him. Parshuram decided to give him the Vijaya bow.

Parshuram : Putra since you are now the next best Archer after gurudev so I present to you This divine bow Vijaya, it was personally used by Mahadev and he gifted it to me but now I am giving it to you. I know you have promised not to take up weapons till you come across a very big Adharm but take it as our blessings. It will help you, you can summon it in case when Adharm is happening and you are not with your weapons.

Dharini : Accept it, it is the order of your mata.

Karna accepted the bow and touched their feet this time he happily left but not before telling them that he will visit every last day of the month. Dharini and Parshuram were happy at his decision to visit them every month. He left to begin his journey towards Hastinapur.
