Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What were the names of Karna's foster parents?

Answer: Adhiratha & Radha

Adhiratha was a childless charioteer. He found Karna floating down the river in a basket.
2. What were the names of the ornaments given to Karna by the Sun God?

Answer: Kavacha & Kundala

Karna was the son of the Sun God and Kunti but Kunti abandoned him on birth as she was a virgin then. Kundala meant earrings and Kavacha meant armour.
3. Karna learnt archery from a venerable sage by pretending to be a Brahmin. Who was this sage?

Answer: Parashurama

Parashurama hated Kshatriyas. Karna was his favorite pupil until he learnt the truth about Karna being a Kshatriya.
4. As Karna walked away dejectedly after being cursed by Parashurama he killed an animal. What was it?

Answer: Cow

The cow belonged to a Brahmin. In anger, the Brahmin cursed Karna saying that he, too, would die when he was unable to defend himself, just like the innocent cow.
5. Who was Karna's charioteer in the war?

Answer: Shalya

Shalya was the brother of Madri, the mother of Nakula and Sahadeva. He had been tricked into helping Duryodhana in the war but secretly promised the Pandavas that he would let no harm come to Arjuna when he fought against Karna as he would be Karna's charioteer. Thus, Karna was killed by Arjuna.
