Parashurama cursed Karna,

Since thou art not a Brahmana, truly this Brahma weapon shall not up to the time of thy death dwell in thee, when thou shalt be engaged with a warrior equal to thyself !

Scriptures
The Digambara sect of Jainism rejects the authority of the texts accepted by the other major sect, the Svetambaras.

According to the Digambaras, Āchārya Dharasena guided two Āchāryas, Pushpadanta and Bhutabali, to put the teachings of Mahavira in written form, 683 years after the nirvana of Mahavira. The two Āchāryas wrote Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama on palm leaves which is considered to be among the oldest known Digambara texts. Āchārya Bhutabali was the last ascetic who had partial knowledge of the original Jain Agamas. Later on, some learned Āchāryas started to restore, compile and put into written words the teachings of Lord Mahavira, that were the subject matter of Agamas.

Digambaras group the texts into four literary categories called anuyoga (exposition). The prathmanuyoga (first exposition) contains the universal history, the karananuyoga (calculation exposition) contains works on cosmology and the charananuyoga (behaviour exposition) includes texts about proper behaviour for monks and Sravakas.
