Karna

Karna was a demon by name Dambhodbhav in his previous birth who did penance to Sun for many years. Pleased with his penace Sun appeared before him and asked him to partake a boon.

Dambodbhav asked for immortality. Sun said no one can become immortal as all those who have taken birth should die , this the law of the nature set by NARAYANA , thus he can ask for something else .
Dambodbhav asked something that would be akin to immortality. HE asked ” Oh Lord Sun kindly give me a 1000 KAvach – Kundal that should not break for atleast 1000 years and one who breaks it should die immediately . Sun grants him the boon” His Name Became SHAHASHTRAKAWACH, HAVING 1000 TIMES MORE PROTECTIVE DEVICE ( kawach ) than any one.

Dambodbhav smitten with pride created havoc in the world and none could kill Dambodbhav and none dared to fight as that would mean definite death . SO when the world was besieged with the cruelty of Dambodbhav , sages and devatas went to Lord NArayana asked for the relief .

Lord Narayana took the form of two sages along with NARA . NARA-NARAYANA . The sages confronted the Demon , Narayana sat in meditation tapasya, for a 1000 years with mrit sanjeevani vidya , while nara would fight with Dambhodbhav , after 1000 years Nara would break the kavach and die , NArayana would bring him back to life and continue the fight , nara would complete the tapasya for 1000 years as Narayana fought the battle and break another kavach , thus each would alternatively fight and practise tapasya and cut the kavach .

This continued for 999 times in 1000000 years . The fight went on for 1000000 years . and when the last Kavach was left , Then Pralaya occurred ,Dambhodbhav fled the battle field and hid behind SUN in surya mandal , Sun gave him shelter .

Nara Narayana demanded the demon to be handed over but Sun pleaded on behalf of him . Thus Nara cursed Sun to be born along with the demon and be killed .For having given shelter to Demon and going against NArayana , Sun took the birth as KARNA along with suryavarman demon [ Dambhodbhav] . This time he was born with the 1000th kavach kundal naturally by the grace oF previous boon by SUN .

Nara and NARAYANA were born again as Arjun and Krishna .This kavach whoever breaks it would die and hence , had to be begged back by Indra . As demon would not give it Karna had SUN also born in this birth as Amsa . With the quality of giving dana readily , SUN gave back the KAVACH he had been tricked to offer by DAMBHODBHAV , and created havoc in the world . Thus Indra tricked Dambhodbhav and Sun rectified his mistake .
