8.\u2009\u2009TRUTHFUL
\nA person whose word of honor is never broken is called truthful. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a once promised Kunt\u012b, the mother of the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas, that He would bring her five sons back from the Battlefield of Kuruk\u1e63etra. After the battle was finished, when all the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas had come home, Kunt\u012b praised K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a because His promise was so nicely fulfilled. She said, \u201cEven the sunshine may one day become cool and the moonshine one day become hot, but still Your promise will not fail.\u201d Similarly, when K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, along with Bh\u012bma and Arjuna, went to challenge Jar\u0101sandha, He plainly told Jar\u0101sandha that He was the eternal K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, present along with two of the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas. The story is that both K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a and the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas \u2013 in this case Bh\u012bma and Arjuna \u2013 were k\u1e63atriyas (warrior-kings). Jar\u0101sandha was also a k\u1e63atriya and was very charitable toward the br\u0101hma\u1e47as. Thus K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, who had planned to fight with Jar\u0101sandha, went to him with Bh\u012bma and Arjuna in the dress of br\u0101hma\u1e47as. Jar\u0101sandha, being very charitable toward the br\u0101hma\u1e47as, asked them what they wanted and they expressed their desire to fight with him. Then K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, dressed as a br\u0101hma\u1e47a, declared Himself to be the same K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a who was the king\u2019s eternal enemy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
