History Recap / MahabharataS01E07

Kunti however, momentarily cries as she flashes back to an event from her past. When Durvaasa, a sage with an infamous HairTriggerTemper visits her palace, Kunti is deputed to attend to him. Kunti does an excellent job, utterly impressing the irascible sage. In return Durvaasa grants Kunti a boon when she asks for something [[ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest that can be useful in the future]]. The boon is a spell that grants her the ability to summon any god from the Hindu pantheon and receive a “gift” from them. A curious Kunti decides to test this boon out on Surya the Sun God. To her horror, she finds out that it is a seduction spell, and that the “gift” of the summoned god is a baby. A horrified Kunti is given a son, Karna who is destined to be brave and charitable. When Kunti invokes [[Literature/{{Ramayana}} Sita’s banishment]] to complain that [[DefiledForever her honor will forever be tarnished]] due to her having a baby out of wedlock, A reassures her that her honor will remain intact because her son Karna has an armor and earrings that make him [[ArmorOfInvincibility invincible]]. Kunti gets the implied message - that she is to dispose of Karna. She does so by placing him in a chest and setting that chest adrift in a river.
