Does a story really belong on wikipedia?

Nonsensical

Parts of this article don't make any sense and the rest is difficult to understand at best. I still don't know what a (the?) Padmavyuha is. And how does the picture represent it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.107.149.14 (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mahabharata is a great Indian epic that consists of tens of thousands of verses describing the lives, customs and practices of ancient Indians. It also conveys important moral and philosophical messages (see, for instance Vidura Neeti or Bhagavad Geeta). For such reasons, it definitely deserves articles on this site. The Vyooha can be better understood if you scroll down the page and view the rock-carving. The path in the maze is the path to be taken by the warrior who intends to penetrate it. Melee and ranged warriors of various types are present in the Vyooha, to defeat whom the best strategy would be to use the path described by the maze.Raghav Sharman (talk) 13:45, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that still doesn't make clear how the maze is used in warfare. Enemy soldiers form the walls of the maze, and you the warrior follows the path of the maze? Why not simply attack it and pierce the "walls" of soldiers? Why would you want to get to the center of the maze? Kchwe (talk) 19:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Chakraviyuga and Padmaviyugha is different. They are not same. Padma in the shape of lotus. Chakra in the shape of circle. But most of the secondray source books treated the both strategies are same. In Vyasa Mahabharatha it self both are mentioned as different.--Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 13:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"See Also" section

The "See Also" section has a link to Karna, without saying why or how Karna is related. Did Karna fight a padmavyuha? The Karna article never mentions it.

Also it has lots of material that should be in the main article.

Also, it is still not clear how the maze would be used as a military formation. Do soldiers make up the walls of the maze? Do soldiers follow a path that they would if they were threading the maze? Etc.
