Text 15] The Dynasties of the Sons of Yayati 187

TRANSLATION

While playing on the bank of the Ganges, Adhiratha found a
baby wrapped up in a basket. The baby had been left by Kunti be-
cause he was born before she was married. Because Adhiratha had
no sons, he raised this baby as his own. [This son was later known
as Karna.]
