Surya Impregnates Kunti Through Yoga
Kunti has agreed to the union. Now Surya acts — using his yogic power to create a self, entering her, and touching her navel. She is overwhelmed by his energy and falls senseless. When she recovers, the conception is complete, and she remains a virgin as promised.
Surya had heard her consent. Now he moved.
Using the self he had created through yoga — a form within a form, a body made of will rather than matter — he entered Kunti. He touched her navel.
The effect was immediate and total. Kunti was overwhelmed by Surya's energy — the raw, concentrated radiance of the sun itself, compressed into a single point of contact. She fell back onto her bed, bereft of her senses, like a creeper snapped from its branch.
Surya spoke over her unconscious form: "I have now finished. You will give birth to a son who will be the foremost among all wielders of weapons, but you will become a virgin."
Then he was gone.
Kunti lay there, confounded by his fierce rays, her body marked by what had passed through it. When she recovered her senses, she found herself alone — and untouched. Surya had inserted himself through yoga, not through taint. The son was conceived, the divine armour and earrings already forming within her, and she remained what she had been before.
