Kanva


Foster father of Shakuntala

Son / Daughter in law / Grand Child / Husband
Once Kanva narrated to Duryodhana, the story of Matali and his wife Sudharma hunting for a groom for their daughter Gunakeshi as per Mahabharata Udyogaparva Chapter 97.

"Vaisampayana continued, 'Hearing these words of the Rishi, Duryodhana contracted his eye-brows and began to breathe heavily. And casting his eyes then on Radha's son, he burst out into a loud laughter. 


And setting at naught those words of the Rishi, that wicked wretch began to slap his thigh that resembled the trunk of an elephant. And addressing the Rishi, he said, 'I am, O great Rishi, precisely what the Creator hath made me. What is to be, must be. What also hath been ordained in my case must happen, I cannot act otherwise. What can these senseless declamations, therefore, avail?'"
