#no heterosexual explanation for literally anything that comes out of Dury's mouth about Karna

Mrityunjay: Durykarna (2)
“Karna, you win Yagyaseni/Draupadi in the wager (here; the swayamvar)! If she rejects you, then I’ll see what is to be done. Win this wager, not for yourself but for me.”
“I will do anything for you. Grandsire Bhishma won the princesses of Kashi and offered them to your grandfather Vichitravirya--in the same way I shall offer Yagyaseni to you!”
Karna paused for a bit before continuing, “I will offer the lotus of Yagyaseni (here; she is referred to as the lotus flower) at your feet, but on one condition--”
“What condition? Pray tell! I’ll accept it regardless.”
“I will participate in this wager at the very end. Moreover, after winning you ought to fulfill a wish of mine.”
“What is it that you wish for, tell me!”
“The town that I was born and brought up in...Champanagari is fortunately in the kingdom of Anga. So, I wish for you to declare my hometown as a royal city! The renovations for the city shall be announced in Kampilya itself.”
“Karna, you really are something else (literal trans. ‘You are blessed’)! Even if you had asked for the entire Kuru empire in exchange of Yagyaseni, I would’ve given it to you. But you simply asked for the rehabilitation of the place you were born in. I swear Karna, you are the divine symbol of true, selfless love!”
I drew him in a close embrace, hugging him tightly. He was overwhelmed. He took my hand in his and patted it gently, affection evident in his action.
For the love of--! I just couldn’t figure out who Karna actually was.
I glanced around the entire pavilion. All the known-unknown kings of Aryavarta were present there. The fragrance of Draupadi has maddened everyone then! Magadh’s emperor Jarasandha, Shalya--the ruler of Madra, the king of Sindhu Jayadratha, Chedi raj Shishupal. It was an assembly of many mighty heroes!
But I don’t know why none of these warriors felt as brilliant and attractive to me as Karna! To tell him as much I leaned to my right side to whisper in his ear (the literal trans. is ‘I brought my mouth near his earlobe’ DEAR LORD), but he was distracted. He was just staring at Shri Krishna without so much as blinking once! I tried to grab his attention with our usual tactic, by lightly hitting his elbow! He was startled as he turned to look at me. My lips parted to tell him about his beauty but was interrupted as the Panchal crown prince Dhrishtadyumna walked in with his sister...Yagyaseni.
