Bhisma persuades him as Dhritrashtra would be the future king of Hastinapur. Duryodhan, the PandhavsвЂ™ mortal enemy is the only one to ever support Karna and thus, Karna vows to always protect Duryodhan and fights on his behalf during the Kurukshetra War.Д«hisma asks for GandhariвЂ™s hand in marriage for his blind nephew Dhritarashtra, resulting in her brother ShakuniвЂ™s fury. Karna, a skilled archer and belonging to a lower caste, was often mistreated as he was raised by Adirath, a charioteer, and his wife, Radha. KarnaвЂ™s true identity is never revealed until the end of the Kurukshetra War.

She later marries Pandu, son of Vichitravirya and invokes other deities to give her three sons, Yudhistir, Bhim and Arjun. However, Kunti, as an unmarried woman, sets Karna afloat on the river Ganga to avoid embarrassment. Out of curiosity, she tests the boon, calling upon the Sun God and is granted a son named Karna. In Kuntibhoj, Princess Kunti obtains a boon from the sage Durvasa whereby she may invoke any deity and bear his child. Reborn as Shikandi in the Panchal Kingdom, she partakes in BhismaвЂ™s death and fulfills the boon. Therefore, Lord Shiva grants Amba the boon of rebirth with a memory of the past and the fate to cause BhismaвЂ™s death.

However, Bhisma refuses, due to his oath of celibacy, resulting in AmbaвЂ™s anger. Instead, she requests that Bhisma marry her as it was he who won her. When Amba demands justice, she is given the choice to marry Vichitravirya and become the queen of Hastinapur. Vichitravirya then marries Ambika and Ambalika. She returns to her lover but is spurned for being the rejected wife of another man. However, Amba had already chosen a groom and demands to be released. The three princesses of the Salva Kingdom, Amba, Ambika and Ambalika are won over by Bhisma, who takes them to Hastinapur to be married to Vichitravirya. As Vichitravirya is incapable of choosing a wife for himself, Bhisma has to do so. Her son, Vichitravirya, an alcoholic and heavily dependent on Bhisma, cannot rule the kingdom, leading Satyavati to decide that VichitraviryaвЂ™s future son must rule the kingdom. Thus, Bhisma gives up his rightful throne and Satyavati rules the kingdom as the вЂRajmaataвЂ™ (Mother of the King) after her husbandвЂ™s death.

He also vows serve the throne of Hastinapur and is granted the boon of icchya-mrityu (the ability to live as long as he does not choose to die). He earns the name Bhisma by swearing an oath of celibacy in order to fulfill his fatherвЂ™s wish to marry Satyavati. The story begins with Devavrata, the son of Shantanu and Ganga a disciple of Parshuram.
