Karna's Promise
The war between the Kauravas and Pandavas had become necessary.
Kunti was very disturbed by this. She went to Karna and
said, "Karna, you are actually my son. If you don't fight against the
Pandavas in the war." Karna replied , "I knew that you are my real
mother but you had given me up when I was only a baby; I was brought up
by a charioteer. It was Duryodhana who made me the king of Anga. I am
grateful to him and can't betray him. I will fight against the
Pandavas."
Hearing this Kunti was upset and started weeping. Karna was moved
and could not see his mother like that and said, "But I can promise you
one thing, That I will not harm any of the Pandavas except Arjuna who
is my rival."
