Reading Notes: Epified, The Mahabharata Part 2

  • Son of the Sun:
    • Kunti, raised by her uncle (a king), befriends the curse laying sage that everyone fears. However, Kunti does not fear him and engages him in conversation. When the sage left he gave Kunti a mantra, which allowed her to summon any god she wanted. She tests it and the Sun god appeared before her. After a blinding light, Kunti is left with a beautiful son in her hands. Unable to claim him (since she was unmarried and had no way to explain the baby) so she sent him adrift in a basket along the river.
