The sun-god said, "O beautiful Kunti, your meeting with a demigod cannot be fruitless. Therefore, let me place my seed in your womb so that you may bear a son. I shall arrange to keep your virginity intact, since you are still an unmarried girl." After saying this, the sun-god discharged his semen into the womb of Kunti and then returned to the celestial kingdom. Immediately thereafter, Kunti gave birth to a child, who was like a second sun-god.
