Above is Karna image on indonesia's java puppet show.
Karna is the dewi Kunthi's son with bathara Surya ( gods of sun ), Karna borned from dewi Kunthi's ear, so the meaning of karna is ear ( on Java's puppet-show is seen in "Karna Lahir" ).
Unfortunatelly, the birth of Karna had made dewi Kunthi ashamed because she hadn't married yet then she floated her baby on Gangga river, with the sad and tiny of the heart.
Karna began his life on the flow of Gangga river till one day someone had founded and took him home. He had been founded a horse-driver of Astina named Adirata ( kusir Adirata ). Adirata and his wife,Randha, was very happy got the baby they had been praying for a long time.
After young Karna had a job in Astinapura kingdom that was lead by prabhu Suyudhana ( Duryudana ) a king from kurawa group.
Who is Karna ?
Karna is the first son of dewi Kunthi with Bathara Surya before dewi Kunthi had been married by prabhu Pandu ( a king of Astinapura before Suyudhana ).
Prabhu Pandu had two wifes ( dewi Kunthi and Dewi Madrim ) then he had five sons , all of Pandu's son is called pandawa group.
Prabhu Pandhu and dewi Kunthi had 3 sons :
- first is Yudhistira or Puntadewa
- second is Werkudara or Bima
- third is Janaka or Arjuna
Prabhu Pandu and dewi Madrim had 2 sons ( Twins ) :
- as fourth is Nakula
- as fiveth is Sadewa or Sahadewa
So, Prabhu Pandu has five sons that is called pandawa.
But with Karna the truth of pandawa is six !! if Karna didn't joined to kurawa then the pandawa group became five members.
While Karna join to kurawa, the kurawa leader named prabhu Suyudhana and all of kurawa had been glad because they know that kurawa couldn't win in the bharatayudha war. ( bharatayudha war is battle between pandawa and kurawa to winning a country named Astinaraya ).

Everyone knows that pandawa have the best arrow-sniper, Janaka.
It's a matter for Kurawa because of kurawa didn't have.
At this crisis, suddenly a violent youth namely Karna moving in front of the colossium to permissed to king Duryudana that Karna positioned himself into an arow-sniper for Kurawa.
The colossium became noisy.
Karna was known as non-lord people. All of kurawa supported to Karna but didn't Pandawa.
Bima ( from Pandawa ) snarl to Karna that karna couldn't entering the competition because of Karna as a non lord people.
Bima said : "He, Karna. You are just a low level man a son of horse-car driver . You cannot continuing in this competition. It is only owned by the man has lord levelity. go out !".
Karna : "I'm Karna. A son of kusir ( horse-car driver ) Adirata and mother Randha that had founded me on the flow of river Gangga. If you know, i'm better than all of you, pandawa ".
Bima : " Oh that. You're just go out from my face !"
Karna: " And dewi Drupadi ( Puntadewa's wife ) is the bad wife i have ever seen. She perhap came from the left-side of this city".
Prabhu Duryudana stopped the mouth-war of boths Bima and Karna.
Competition was continuing.
A 300 metres flower called "cindepuspita" hanging as a target must to be felt down by an arrow.
