States Karna won before Vaishnav Yajna of Duryodhan

We all know that Duryodhan and Karna were badly defeated during Ghoshyatra.

After they came back to hastinapur, Bhishma humiliated Duryodhan and Karna for their motives and their defeat.

Bhishma said that they had went to Dwaita Vana to humiliate pandavas.

But they were weak enough to get defeated by gandharvas despite being with considerable army.

When Karna fled the battle and Duryodhan and his family was made captive,

it was Pandavas who being just 4 in number as Yuddhisthir was involved in an Yajna, defeated Gandharvas.

Karna was enraged of this humiliation and he pledged to defeat all the kings and bring them under umbrella of Kauravas.

Let's see which kings and states he defeated.

He started with north direction.
He attacked Panchal and defeated King Drupad and his allies.

He went up north and defeated Bhagdatt. He went further into Himalayan ranges and defeated many kings and collected taxes from them.

He descended towards East and defeated King of Nepal.

In East, he collected taxes and defeated kings wherever required. Anga, Banga, Magadh, Shundik, Karka, Mithila, Kalinga became his subjects.

He proceeded towards South direction.

He defeated kings of Vats region. Tripuri, Mrittikavati, Kosal, Pattan, kevala and other kingdom were sacked and defeated.

He descended further south and defeated Rukmi. After making Rukmi an ally, he went to defeat Pandyas and Shri Shailas.

He defeated King of Kerala, King Neel and son of Venudari. Many other kings were defeated who are aren't mentioned.

Then he rose in Northern direction and defeated Son of Shushupal in Chedi kingdom.

He collected taxes from Yadavas in Dwarka and made pact with king of Avanti. Then he moved towards West.

In West, he defeated Yavanas, Malwas, Shashak, Barbarians, Mlechhas.

These kingdom and many which haven't been mentioned were defeated by Karna.

When he returned with all the war taxes, Duryodhan organised Vaishnav Yajna.

This shows that After Pandavas and Yadavas, Karna was one of the notable warriors.

His Valor should be given credits where due.

But people in their agenda try to make him most superior of warriors is wrong.

Even in this Vijay Yatra, Many kings who could defeat Karna were his allies like Rukmi, Bhagdatt, etc.

Yadavas didn't wanted unnecessary conflict so they made pact with him.

And Pandavas were not there to fight him. Ashwatthama was his ally.

So his Vijay Yatra can be explained in light of these information.
