feet
When Arjuna and Karna are engaged in a bloody duel, Karna’s chariot gets stuck in the ground, and he is disarmed by Arjuna. While Arjuna hesitates to continue fighting with a disarmed soldier, Krishna reminds Arjuna about the death of his son, Abhimanyu, and Arjuna continues fighting. Karna meanwhile, uses the chariot wheel as a shield to protect himself. Arjuna manages to further disarm Karna, and the fatal arrow has left Arjuna’s bow, but falls on Karna’s feet instead of killing him. While Arjuna stands bewildered at what just happened, Krishna explains that Karna – the embodiment of Dharma – has protected Dharma all his life, and now Dharma itself is protecting him. The only way Arjuna can defeat Karna is if Karna has given away his Dharma also in charity. There is a beautiful verse in Sanskrit that runs:
Dharmeva Hato Hanthi, Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha.
(Means: One who forsakes Dharma, is forsaken by Dharma, and Dharma protects the one who protects it.)
In the final scene, Krishna goes to Karna to ask for his Dharma. Karna knows that the only thing that is keeping him alive is his Dharma, that he has stood against all his life, and he knows that the minute he gives it away, he dies. But Karna, being an epotime of Dharma itself, gladly gives it away to Krishna. At this juncture, Krishna shows gives his Vishwarupa Darshanam to Karna, putting Karna’s agitated mind at peace. Ordinary people are incapable of seeing Krishna’s true form, but Karna’s good deeds enabled him to. At Krishna’s behest, Arjuna releases a final arrow that decaptitates Karna.
While saints like Buddha eptiomized Dharma in extreme non-violent form, and while Mahavira did so through non-aggression, Karna truly symbolized Dharma in a Kshatriya’s manner.
