Amidst the tranquil beauty of the forest, Kunti's labor pains intensified, signaling the arrival of her firstborn. With her maids by her side, Kunti endured the agonizing waves of pain, a testament to the strength that lay within her. The rustling leaves and the distant calls of birds formed a symphony that bore witness to the primal struggle of birth.



As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the landscape, Kunti brought forth new life into the world. The very earth seemed to hold its breath, acknowledging the sacredness of the moment.

In the tender moments that followed, the maids marveled at the child's radiant beauty, his features reflecting the brilliance of the sun. Priyamvada gently placed the newborn in Kunti's arms, and as Kunti gazed into his eyes, an overwhelming surge of maternal love washed over her. Her fingers traced the contours of his face, and a smile graced her lips.


Unbeknownst to Kunti, her touch had awakened the child's latent powers. As if guided by an unseen hand, a kavach—armor of shimmering brilliance—and kundals—earrings of ethereal grace—are gently placed upon the infant. These are no ordinary adornments; they are imbued with the power of Suryadev's essence.


As the sun's radiant rays enveloped the child, Kunti felt a sense of awe and reverence. Suddenly, a brilliant light emerged before her, coalescing into the majestic form of Suryadev himself. His luminous presence illuminated the surroundings, and his voice carried a warmth that was both soothing and powerful.


"Suryadev," Kunti whispered, her heart filled with a mixture of wonder and humility.



Suryadev himself materializes before Kunti, a smile upon his radiant countenance.

"These are gifts for my son, Kunti," Suryadev's voice resonated like a melodic hymn, "for the child is destined for greatness, his spirit as radiant as my own. He shall possess qualities that mirror my very essence – strength, courage, and an unwavering resolve."


Kunti listened intently, her heart swelling with both gratitude and anticipation.


"The kavach," Suryadev continued, "forged from the divine essence of Amrit, shall shield him from harm's way. It shall be his armor against adversity, a safeguard that shall envelop him in an aura of invincibility. And the kundals, crafted with celestial gems, shall bestow upon him clarity of thought and insight, endowing him with the wisdom to navigate the challenges that lie ahead."


Tears of reverence glistened in Kunti's eyes as she absorbed the significance of Suryadev's words.
