Vasudeva said: 'O Radheya, you have honored the brahmins learned in the Vedas, and without envy, with restraint, you have questioned them closely about the true meaning of truth. You yourself, O Karna, know the eternal teachings of the Vedas; you are firmly grounded in the subtle teachings of dharma. Knowers of the shastras say that a son born of an unmarried girl, and a son conceived before marriage and brought into the husband's house, both have as father the one who took that girl as his wife. So it is with you, O Karna: by dharma you are the son of Pandu. By the ruling of the scriptures of dharma, come — you shall become king. On the father's side the Parthas are yours, and on the mother's side the Vrishnis are yours: recognize these two lineages as your own, O best of men.'

Krishna appeals to Karna through his own knowledge of the shastras. He does not press with force, but shows that by the recognized norms of dharma Karna belongs to the house of Pandu and is bound to both the Pandavas and the Vrishnis. The truth of his origin becomes here a moral summons.
