KARNA |
|
| Fortunately, at
that hour, the charioteer of Dhritarashtra was bathing in the river at the far end. He saw
this floating basket and the child in it. As he had no children, he thought God Himself
had sent that child to him and brought him up as his own child. He named him Radheya. Karna leant the art of warfare from Dronacharya and Parasurama. Seeing that he was as clever as Arjuna, Duryodhana took Karna to his side. Karna became a great friend of Duryodhana who made him King of Angadesa. Arjuna and Karna became inveterate enemies, and Arjuna vowed to defeat him. As long as Karna had the divine kundala and kavacha or armour, which the Sun God had given him, no one could defeat him. Indra was Arjuna’s Godfather. |
