Here Karna strains a parable to bolster his fatalism. It is significant that he chooses the example of a helpless king who entrusted everything to his minister: the tale is meant to prove that even the powerless will retain what is destined for him. Here it becomes visible that even a parable true in substance is brought forward with a cunning aim — to lull the king's vigilance. Thus scripture shows Karna's art of dressing intent as instruction; and beneath the tale lies his purpose.
