You call me a Suta-putra (son of a charioteer) all my life, let me be ridiculed by the world, let me be denied education by Parasurama's curse, let Draupadi call me a 'Suta's son' and refuse me at her swayamvara... and now, on the eve of the greatest war, you call me your son? What is your purpose?"

(Weeping) "My child, I am not asking for your love. I am asking for your brothers—the Pandavas. They are your brothers. Arjuna is your brother. Do not kill them in this war. Join them, Karna. Let the truth be known. The throne of Hastinapura is yours by right as the eldest."

I will give you this promise: I will not kill any of your other sons. I will only fight Arjuna. Either he or I will die. You will still have five sons left, Mother. You will not be childless." (Stunned, letting go of his arrow and water pot

(Desperate) "Then kill me instead, Karna! I am the one who sinned against you. But the Pandavas are innocent. They do not even know of your existence. Why do you wish to destroy them?"

(Embracing his feet) "Then I will curse myself every day of my life. But promise me, Karna—the world will know the truth after you die. People should know that the great warrior Karna was a son of the Sun, not a Suta." and now, on the eve of the greatest

Go now, Mother. Tell your sons nothing. Fight me. I will kill Arjuna or Arjuna will kill me. That is my gift to you: your five sons will live. I will aim only for the one who is not your son by Kunti's womb—no, wait. Arjuna is my brother too. So I will fight him as a Kshatriya fights a Kshatriya. Let fate decide."
