5) *Krpa at the trial of skill in archery of the Kauravas and the Pāṇḍavas.* When the training of the Kauravas and the Pāṇḍavas in archery was over, a test was arranged for them. Spectators crowded to see it. Droṇa, Kṛpa, Somadatta, Bālhīka, Bhīṣma and Vidura and other great ones took their seats in the stadium. Arjuna and Karṇa entered the arena for contest when Kṛpa intervened and said that Arjuna was the youngest son of Kuntī but Karṇa should specify his parentage. At this Karṇa stood stunned, and it was then that Duryodhana declared Karṇa to be the King of Aṅga. (Ādi Parva, Chapter 136).
