5. Kunti’s father was a Yadava prince called Shurasena. He had a very dear friend and cousin called Kuntibhoja. This friend was childless. It was customary in those times for heirless kings to seek the favour and blessings of a Brahmin in order to get a son. The chosen Brahmin would be a guest in the palace, fed and waited upon by the daughter of the house. Since Kuntibhoja didn’t even have a daughter, he asked his friend Shurasena for Kunti as a gift, and Shurasena gave her away. Kunti’s own name was Pritha. It shows that she was apparently a large, big-boned girl. She was better known as Kunti, which means ‘a princess of the kingdom of Kunti’.
