Aradea - (Prabu) - Mahabharata[edit | edit source]
Dewi Kunti had once received a magic spell from a hermit. With this she could call a god to make love to her. One day she used the spell and the sun god Surya came to earth to make love to Dewi Kunti. That same night, Karna was born in full regalia. He was born from Kunti's ear and wore golden armor and golden earrings. Fearing disgrace, Kunti put him in a reed basket and let him float down the river in the current. Karna was found by King Aradea and raised by him.
