I wonder how will Bhima take vow about Aruna killing Karna, I dont see Karna participating in the Vastraharan, I guess Arjuna will take up his bow and aim it Dury and Karna will come infront thats when Bhima will take the vow. Otherwise, I see no reason of Bhima taking vow.
Karna lived so happily at Parasurama's hermitage learning and mastering all tricks. Parasurama loved him well for he was so perfect in learning and performing archery and weapons.One day, while Karna was practicing his most loved archery, he saw something move in the marshy land near the hermitage. He immediately shot an arrow at it. Sadly for Karna, the arrow took the life of a cow that had got bogged down in the marsh.
The scene of the cow lying crying for his life was heart braking. The owner a Brahmin, who was at the spot found the young man, who killed his beloved cow. He cursed Karna saying 'you are arrogant because you can use weapons. So I curse you that the wheels of your chariot will sink in the battle field at a crucial time when you fight for your life, just as the legs of this cow did, in this mire'. Later, in the battle of Mahabharata, Karna had to pay the price.😭
Cruel Fate : Incident 2
Karna lived happily at Parasurama's hermitage. He was his master's best student and served his guru with utmost sincerity and respect. One day Parasurama was laying down with his head on Karna's lap and fell asleep soon.
A flesh-eating insect bit Karna and damaged his thigh by digging a hole. It was very painful. But Karna stayed still fearing his guru will wake up from his rest. He could not brush off the insect without moving his master's head. So he suffered the killing pain silently. But the blood, which flowed from the would touched Parasurama's cheek and he woke up.
Parasurama jumped up and asked about it. Karna told him the whole thing. He further explained, "You would have woken up if I had moved and so I stayed still. I am sorry the blood polluted you".Parasurama was sure of one thing by then. He thought no Brahmin could have suffered such a pain in silence and the boy has to be a Kshatriya. He asked him to tell the truth. Karna explained everything honestly. The explanation made Parasurama angry. His favorite pupil's trick made him furious. He cursed Karna, "You will forget the use of all these great weapons you learnt by tricking me, when you most need them".
Karna begged for forgiveness. Parasurama consoled him saying "you will become famous as a great warrior on earth". He further added he has no longer angry with him and any knowledge earned by tricking would naturally vanish when it is mostly needed. This incident later played a role and Karna had to pay again a price.😭
thees two big incidents only reason for karna failed 😔 in kusetrawar

One of the many times when Karna was attacked by a number of warriors, It was quite common to be attacked by a number of warriors at the same time.
While the unvanquished Karna was employed in achieving those feats, many mighty bowmen and great car-warriors among the Pandavas encompassed him on all sides. Indeed, Shikhandi, and Bhima, and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata, and Nakula, and Sahadeva, and the (five) sons of Draupadi, and Satyaki, surrounded the son of Radha, pouring showers of arrows upon him, from desire of despatching him to the other world. The heroic Satyaki, that best of men, struck Karna in that engagement with twenty keen shafts in the shoulder-joint. Shikhandi struck him with five and twenty shafts, and Dhrishtadyumna struck him with seven, and the sons of Draupadi with four and sixty, and Sahadeva with seven, and Nakula with a hundred, in that battle. The mighty Bhimasena, in that encounter, filled with rage, struck the son of Radha in the shoulder-joint with ninety straight shafts. The son of Adhiratha, then, of great might laughing in scorn, and drawing his excellent bow let off many keen shafts, afflicting his foes. The son of Radha pierced each of them in return with five arrows. Cutting off the bow of Satyaki, as also his standard, O bull of Bharata's race, Karna pierced Satyaki himself with nine shafts in the centre of the chest. Filled with wrath, he then pierced Bhimasena with thirty shafts. With a broad-headed arrow, O sire, he next cut off the standard of Sahadeva, and with three other arrows, that chastiser of foes afflicted Sahadeva's driver. Within the twinkling of an eye he then deprived the (five) sons of Draupadi of their cars, O bull of Bharata's race, which seemed exceedingly wonderful. Indeed, with his straight shafts casting those heroes to turn back from the fight
