Kunti, young and curious, wanted to test if the Mantra really worked, and looking at the sun she summoned him. Suddenly a divine person appeared and embraced her. Kunti was scared, but Surya assured her that she would not lose her virginity in spite of the fact that she would give birth to his child. After some time, Kunti gave birth to a son. He was born with golden armour and earrings. Worrying about her reputation as she was unmarried, Kunti put the child in a basket and set it adrift in the river [[Ganga]]. The basket was found by the charioteer [[Adhirath]], and because he and his wife Radha were childless, they adopted him as their own son. Though the child was named Vasushen, he was commonly known as Karn, because he was born with earrings.</ins></div></td></tr>

Karn wanted to learn the Brahmastra, and when Dron refused to teach it to him, Karn went to learn it from [[Parshuram]], disguised as a Brahman. One day, his master fell asleep on his lap. A bee stung Karn, but fearing to wake his master, Karn bore the terrible pain silently. When Parshuram woke up and saw Karn's leg swathed in blood, he realised that his disciple was no Brahman and asked who he was. Karn, trembling, revealed his identity. Furious at being deceived, Parshuram cursed him that he would not be able to use his knowledge when he needed it most. When the study of the Kaurav and Pandav princes was over, a show was held at Hastinapur to display the talents of each.</ins></div></td></tr>

At that moment, Kripacharya questioned Karn's birth and nobility, and [[Duryodhan]], seeing Karn to be a fitting competitor to [[Arjun]], made him king of [[Anga|Ang]]. [[Indra]], knowing that Karn was unconquerable as long as he wore his armour and his earrings, decided to take them away from him. Karn was known for his charity, and so Indra went to him in the disguise of a Brahman and asked for his armour and earrings. Surya, knowing Indra's tricks, had warned Karn in a dream, and in case Karn did give away his possessions, he was advised to ask in return for a powerful weapon. Karn could not bring himself to say no to the request of the Brahman, but told him that he could have them on the condition that he did not harm his body. Indra carefully took off the armour and earrings without harming his body, and pleased with Karn's generosity, bade him to ask for a boon. Karn asked for the most powerful weapon that Indra possessed.</ins></div></td></tr>

When war was declared between the Pandavs and Kauravs, Karn swore to kill Arjun. Kunti fearing for her other sons, went alone to see her first-born before the war. She confessed her relation to him and advised him to join the Pandav army. He refused, saying that he was indebted to his friend Duryodhan and could not forsake him. But he promised his mother that he would not kill any of her sons except Arjun. Karn did not take part in the war till after the death of [[Bhishma]], and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Kaurav army after Dron was slain. Karn had reserved the weapon Shakti which he had received from Indra for Arjun, but was forced to use it on [[Ghatotkach]]. Later, in the battle with Arjun, first his chariot wheel got stuck and then Parshuram's curse took affect and he could not use his knowledge. At this moment, Arjun, on the advise of [[Krishna]], killed him. Karn had five sons, viz. Vrishsen, Bhanusen, Prasen, Sushen and Satyasen. </ins></div></td></tr>
