Two years have passed since Karna came to swarg. In these two years Devguru brihaspati has taught him everything needed to know about being King. He has taught him various other scriptures other than vedas as it was already taught by Bhagwan Parshuram. He taught him how to be a ruler, his duties and responsibilities. How to make harsh but necessary decision, how to be impartial and every thing A king needs to know to smoothly running a country even finances and other major or minor things too. But he has not taught him anything other than that.

Karna has done according to what brihaspati has told him when he has arrived in swarglok. He usually woke up do his pooja and yoga. After that he eat breakfast and come to his gurudev to learn from him till afternoon. After his studies he goes to Gandharvs nagri to learn from them. Truth to be told karna was most happy here only. His s start in the music wasn't very good some could even say pathetic. But he never gave up and through sheer practice and discipline he has learnt to sing and play veena masterfully. Every Gandharva and apsara was proud of him.

He became acquaintance of everyone in Gandharv palace, many apsara was impressed by looks first but his singing drove that thought away. They have decided to help the poor and miserable but hard working person. Karna was taught by almost every apsara and Gandharvs. Karna has formed kind of brother and sister relationship with all the apsara of swarg. He was not comfortable being among them at first but slowly he let go of his inhibitions and became one of them. All the singing practice has made his voice to have certain charm in it even when he was speaking normally. His instrument playing was surprisingly not that hard. Being a warrior he can easily discriminate the sound that different strings of veena can produce. His memory was sharp and constant practice easily created muscle memory for him. The only problem came with force at which the string should be plucked. Karna has destroyed many strings initially but slowly it lessened. But on karna request Chitrasen has arranged even more delicate strings which cannot take even slight more force than required. While playing the veena karna realised that his control was getting finer and finer so he made the request to Chitrasen. He also became a ambidextrous person and can use both his hands similarly and equally. He learnt great many miscellaneous things from them too like how to pass information smoothly without letting other to know. From apsara he learnt the art of make over which can be utilised for disguise. He became much better warrior with skills like ambidextrous, fine strength control, sharpened senses, sound distinguishing etc which he gained because of singing and Veena playing.

Karna has realised great many things from his time with Gandharvs and apsara. He realised though he thought every job was equal and he never looked down on others but it seems he didn't look up to them either. He had learnt to do even the most menial job it requires one to have dicipline and dedication towards learning to perform it. Realisation of this has led great changes in Karna. From a slight introspection Karna has realised he never interacted with others and unknown people or ask for their help because somewhere deep down in heart he was looking down on them. He was appalled to realise he also has arrogance like others. He decided to rectify it and stomp it out. This led to him opening up to others present in swarg. Spending time with Gandharvs and learning from them has sharpened not only his life skills but his warrior skills too. He was surprised to know that Gandharva are formidable warrior too and his friend Chitrasen was strongest among them. They usually spared after practice.

At night karna spent time helping and learning from various Devs in their nagri. He masters various divyastras under the guidance of dev whose astra was that. For example he mastered the use of agneyastra from Agnidev etc. Suryadev and his family was extra nice to Karna. They taught him various things like Yamraj has taught him the dharm, shanidev has taught him how to avoid speaking like by using long long sentence and deflecting the subject. He became great orator under his guidance. Ashwin te na taught him about medicine and potions though he knew Sanjeevni it isn't like he can spam it anytime. Suryadev himself has taught him many things. He even gave him a set of specially crafted weapons which were not divine but they were too heavy for any normal mortal or Devputra other than Karna to even lift and use it. Though they were not divine limbs of bow and handle of sword, axe and spear weapons were made from dried branches of kalpavriksh (a tree that emerged during ocean churning) which cannot be broken, the mace,grip of bow, the blade of swords, the axe and tip of spear are made by amalgamation of various strong metals present in three lok. The strings of bow was most special it can only be broken by tridevs astra as it was made from hide of Mahishasura. Suryadev didn't tell him what his weapon were made up of but he personally requested lord Vishwakarma to make these weapons. These weapons were almost unbreakable, and strong despite not being a divine weapons. The weapons were tailor made for Karna consedring and taking account of his physique and potential strength. It was so heavy that only Balram and Krishna present on earth can lift it.

Today was the day when Karna would know from Brihaspati whether he passed his test or not. The swarg sabha was arranged, every dev were present there. Karna and brihaspati was also there. Every Gandharvs and apsara too was present there. Brihaspati already knew that karna has passes. In truth he was Marvelled at Karna and his ability to learn so quickly. The sheer dedication and focus he have. Actually in just one year Karna has learnt everything and last one year was Devguru brihaspati grinding him and taking test by presenting several scenario and asked him to handle that. Karna impressed him in that too. Brihaspati has saw karna has stomped out his drawback. He told Karna to perform in front of everyone only then will he judge and tell whether he passes or not. Karna sat in the middle of Sabha and brought it his Veena. Dev's can see it's string was made of most delicate strings one could use for playing Veena as it requires precise plucking. If it's plucked even a little hard it will get destroyed and if plucked a little soft then it will not play. Karna closed his eyes and started singing and playing veena.

The atmosphere of sabha turned spritual and devotinal hearing his music. Everyone cheered har har mahadev and clapped.

Brihaspati : Putra Karna you have passed your test. Get your blessings now, after leaving sabha come to my palace and then we will leave to secluded place for your further education to complete and after that you will not return to swarg again.

Karna : Thank you Gurudev.

Devguru brihaspati left and the Dev's who were waiting to Reward karna since his fight with Nivatkavacha took the opportunity and blessed him the dev like Agni, vayu, varun, etc blessed him that Karna's divyastra would be more destructive and powerfull than any other person. The other Devs to gave their astra/sastra to him. Agnidev blessed him with purity, vayu dev with speed, Varun dev blessed him to have patience, Ashwini twins with medical knowledge, Yama with spritual wisdom, shanidev blessed him prosperity. Indra has already given him the chariot so he gave them a quiver from it arrows can never be finished and gave him his Vaasvi shakti that can be used once. He was actually most grateful and most impressed by him. Indradev even shared his experience and of being a king with him. He taught him how to awaken his yogic shakti. He gave him the most because of greatfullness and to rectify what Arjun did. Suryadev blessed Karna's weapons and made them stronger and divine. He also gave him his personal Astra. The weapons changed and now each one was turned golden and has sun symbols on it, suryadev proclaimed these weapons will be called after his name Mitra like Mitra kadak, Mitra shool, Mitra parshu, Mitra gada and Mitra Dhanush. Lord viswakarma too helped suryadev in the process and promised him to build a kingdom for him. Gandharv gave him their secret sammohan astra and its counter Prajana astra. Apsaras just have him their blessings that he can disguise however he wants. Karna bowed his head and told them his greatfullness. He touched everyone feet to get their blessings. He gave last hug to his friends Chitrasen and went towards Gurudev brihaspati palace. After arriving there Karna and brihaspati left to secluded corner of Mount Meru.

Brihaspati : Putra Karna, I have taught you everything I could. You are now a complete man. I know you believe in Karna and not in astrology and it only knowledge that is left for me to teach you. When you came here your only drawback back was your hesitation in opening up to the world. Now you have overcome that so there is nothing left to teach you Putra. There was nothing much to teach you to begin with. Do you still think me as your Guru?

Karna : Yes Gurudev, you are my guru and nothing can change that. I had realised that you were only making me a better person by making me realise my mistake. A guru is someone who not only impart knowledge but help his students to be a better human being. You did that for me and I will be forever greatfull otherwise one day due to my shortcomings I would have become Adharmi.

Brihaspati : I am happy, you can appreciate my efforts. Now Putra I want gurudhkhsina from you.

Karna : Ji gurudev, order me.

Brihaspati : Putra I want you to return to prithvi lok and disguise yourself. Putra you have knowledge and inteligence but you need wisdom which can only be obtained by experience. You have to help the oppressed and serve the sages for two years And after 2 years I want you to kill the most powerful Adharmi king and become the king of that kingdom. Putra you lack nothing but experience these two years roam around whole Aaryavrat and gain experience. You youself know hardship of common people but now you have to observe as third party and think how can it be avoided in your kingdom. It will also help you to establish relationship with people of all varieties. You are not allowed to meet anyone who know of your real identity before your kingdom is smoothly running.

Karna : Ji gurudev, blessed me and allow me to leave.

Brihaspati : Kirtiman bhava, Putra.

Karna summoned his chariot and willed it to go to isolated corner wher he can disguise. Chariot reach isolated corner and Karna changed his clothes and disguise as traveling performer who has learned little bit of everything in his journey. He even took out his Veena and hung it to his shoulder. His disguise was perfect, nobody could recognise him. He enquiries where he was and he was told to be at foot mountain near Kuntibhoj empire. Karna decided to began his journey from here.
