Kunti was the daughter of Shurasena, a Yadava ruler of Mathura but, was raised by her childless uncle Kuntibhoja, the King of Kuntibhoja. She was the sister of Krishna\u2019s father, Vasudeva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once Sage Durvasa visited Kuntibhoja, and pleased by Kunti\u2019s devotion, he taught her a mantra, through which she could beget a child from any God she desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kunti was curious and recited this mantra, invoking Surya deva. Later, she gave birth to a boy, named Karna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kunti was not married yet, so she begged Surya deva to take the child back but he refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
