Kuntī), the sister of Vasudeva and the daughter of the Vṛṣṇi Çūra and adopted by King Kuntibhoja, was ordered by Kuntibhoja to wait upon a brahman of fierce energy (III, 303, 304). After a year the brahman gave her a mantra (Atharvaçirasi çrutam), by which she might invoke the gods (III, 305). When she at the time of her seasons saw the sun's orbit she became possessed of celestial power of vision, and beheld Sūrya with his coat of mail and his ear-rings and invoked him. By way of yoga he divided himself into two, one of whom appeared before Kuntī. At first Kuntī was frightened (III, 306), but Sūrya reassured her, saying: “Thou shalt remain a virgin after having gratified me, and thy son shall have the ear-rings and the coat of mail, made of amṛta, that have been given to me by Aditi,” etc.; then he entered her by virtue of yoga (III, 307). This happened in the bright fortnight of the tenth month (çukle daçottare pakṣe). Except her nurse nobody else knew about the matter; when the child was born she consulted with her nurse and placed it in a box on the river Açvanadī, imploring protection from Varuṇa, Sūrya, A., V., R., S., V.-D., M., diçaḥ, digīçvarāḥ, I., etc.; from Açvanadī the basket floated to the river Carmanvatī, thence to the Yamunā, and so on to the Gaṅgā, to the town of Campā, in the country of the Aṅgas (III, 308), ruled by the sūta Adhiratha (the husband of Rādhā), who was childless.

They adopted the child and called him Vasuṣeṇa and Vṛṣa (only afterwards he was uamed K.). After having adopted K., Adhiratha had other sons begotten by himself. When K. had grown up he was sent to Hāstinapura, and acquired the four kinds of weapons from Droṇa, Kṛpa, and Rāma, and became the friend of Duryodhana, but was intent on injuring the Pāṇḍavas, especially Arjuna. Yudhiṣṭhira was afraid of him. When K. after rising from the water at noon worshipped Sūrya, brahmans used to solicit him for wealth, and there was nothing that he would not give away to the brahmans (III, 309). Indra in the guise of a brahman appeared before him, asked him for his coat of mail, and gave him instead a dart (Vāsavī), which could not be baffled and which, in the hands of Indra, destroyed the Daityas and then returned to him. “This dart can only slay one powerful enemy of thine and then it will retura to me, but it will not be that one which thon seekest to slay, for he is protected by Kṛṣṇa.” K. cut the coat of mail and ear-rings off his person, Indra having granted him that his body thus disfigured should not become unsightly. Gods and men and Dānavas raised a leonine roar. For this feat he was called Karṇa. The Dhārtarāṣṭras became distressed and the Pāṇḍavas were filled with joy. Having rescued Kṛṣṇa from Jayadratha and listened to the ancient stories recited by Mārkaṇḍeya, the Pāṇḍavas returned from Kāmyaka to Dvaitavana (III, 310): III, 303, 16998;
