Karn Parv : Summary :

"Then comes the most wonderful Parv called Karn. In this is narrated the appointment of the wise king of Madra as (Karn's) charioteer. Then the history of the fall of the Asur Tripura. Then the application to each other by Karn and Salya of harsh words on their setting out for the field, then the story of the swan and the crow recited in insulting allusion: then the death of Pandya at the hands of the high-souled Aswatthaman; then the death of Dandsen; then that of Dard; then Yudhishthir's imminent risk in single combat with Karn in the presence of all the warriors; then the mutual wrath of Yudhishthir and Arjun; then Krishna's pacification of Arjun. In this Parv, Bhim, in fulfilment of his vow, having ripped open Dushashan's breast in battle drank the blood of his heart. Then Arjun slew the great Karn in single combat. Readers of the Bharat call this the eighth Parv. The number of sections in this is sixty-nine and the number of slokas is four thousand, nine hundred and sixty-tour.
