  • But Dharma shastras don't say that the person like Indra (vedic god) is not eligible for accepting dana.

    Good question! But then we all know Karna was not always supporting or following the right Dharma. Most of his life decisions were based on emotion and perhaps the desire to be known always as Danveer prompted his decision.

Why Karna didn't give Dana as said in scriptures to give only to whose who that deserves it :

It's May be just because Indra deserves the Dana and it's was required to save his own son Arjun.

Did he Took a Vow to Give Dana to anyone as opposing scriptures ? Never read something like that anywhere.

Will it cause Bad karma to Karna or Anyone if Dana is given to who that does not deserves it ? Only If it was intentionally for someone's bad.
