\"\"<\/a>Several months had passed since the sage’s departure, when one morning Kunti, seeing the sun rise, was enchanted by the beauty of that celestial star. She wondered about how beautiful the Deva who ruled such a hot and fascinating planet must be, and she felt a strong desire to see him personally. It was then when she remembered the mantra Durvasa had taught her, and impulsively recited it, thinking of Vivasvan. Just a moment later, the room was flooded with dazzling light and there Kunti, protected by the mantra itself, found herself facing the much adored Deva. Suddenly, the young woman realized that she had acted superficially by calling a divinity in front of her solely for a childish game so, after reciting the mantra, she apologized to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou don’t have to apologize at all,\u201d Vivasvan replied with a smile, \u201cbecause your attractiveness is such that it can attract even an inhabitant of the higher planets. Now I am here, ready to fulfill all your desires.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It took Kunti some time to understand the truth, and when she realized it, she felt desperate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow can I have a child?\u201d she said through her tears. \u201cI’m not married yet, and if I did that, no one would want me anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t worry about it,\u201d replied the Deva, \u201cour son will be born immediately after our union, and you will not lose your virginity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
