In order to
help Arjuna defeat Karna, Indra decided to get Karna’s Kundala and Kavacha.
Indra, however, knew that Karna was very generous and would give anything for the mere
asking.
Karna’s Godfather the Sun God came in Karna’s dream and warned him: "Karna!
Indra will come dressed like a Brahmin and ask for your Kundala and Kavacha. Do not give
them. Your life will be endangered!"
Yet, when
Indra came as a brahim and asked for the gift of his kundala and armour, he gladly gave
them.
Karna thought: "The merit of the gift is much greater
than my life itself!"
One day, before the war, Kunti went to Karna while he was
saying his prayers at the river Ganga.
