KARNA |
|
Introduction A great hero of the 'Mahabharata'. Karna lived such a life that
he became another name for generosity and loyalty. It was his misfortune to be shunned as
a person of low caste. To him loyalty was more important than the emperor's throne. He
sacrificed his life for his master.

Karna
The Ganga was flowing full to the brim. An old man stood on the bank. He made obeisance
with folded hands to the sun that was just rising. He prayed as usual:
"Oh Sun God! You give light to the whole world. I have no children and my life is
miserable. Have mercy on me. Grant me a child. Bestow light on my life." |
