Devi (Sutanuka) Supriya
[Second most neglected yet adored Karna wife whose relationship to her husband was complicated. She was believed to be a Sudra or Sut Kanya but in reality she was also a Princess of Kalinga. She was the illegitimate child of King of Kalinga Chitrangad and Apsara Rambha as well as the sister of Princess Bhanu or Bhanumati, wife of Duryodhan. She was married to Karna and had fostered eight sons with him, they were Chitrasen (in one scripture he was her biological child), Banasen, Satyasen, Shatrunjay, Dpitvatva, Sushen and youngest Prasen along with cursed Sudama (first adopted son of Karna and Padma) who died at Swayambar of Draupadi. She for several times had to sacrifice her marital bliss for her beloved elder sister Padmavati and accepted a secluded lonely life along her foster sons. She gave birth to the youngest son of Karna, Vrishaketu but never took the credit and gave the entire responsibility to her elder sister Padmavati. She went Sati at the pyre of Karna and lost all her sons at the epic war of Mahabharata. Including her stepson Vrishasen too. She loved her baby sister Uruvi as her own and respected her elder Padmavati as her mentor, teacher and mother. For her self-sacrifice she was later called as Mahasati Supriya by the reincarnated form of Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna and Tridev or God Trinity, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma Dev.

Story Unfolds:
A girl of sixteen was looking pensive. She did not know why her sister had scolded her for no reason. She was never ever been treated this badly by her dear sister. Her eyes were vacant as she felt quite low today. She did not know her fault a bit.
"Su"
All of a sudden a loud call rang in her eardrum. She wiped her tears and slowly faced the person who uttered her name.
"Pranipat, jiji. (Bow to you, my elder sister.)" She addressed her softly. By lowering her head to the floor level. She did not want to show her crying face to her sister. Her jiji. Her Bhanu. Princess Bhanumati of Kalinga state.
Princess came to her with long and steady strides. Then she grabbed her hands tightly in her own fists. "Su, hame kshama kar dena. Hame nahin pata tha ki woh tere Devta hain!!! (Su, please forgive me. I really don't want to mean any harm to you. I am sorry. I should not dare to talk ill about him. I don't know that he is your deity.)"
Princess Bhanumati
She wiped her tears gently and then hugged her tightly. Bhanu kissed her cheek and she blushed hard. Her jiji knew how to beg mercy to her!!! She always had taunted her. Mocked her. Played pranks with her. But always won her heart by saying "Sorry". Now let me introduce this naive girl to you. She was none but the main cute yet sensitive protagonist of our this story. Devi Supriya herself.
Devi Supriya (2nd Karna Sangini)
...............
At Royal Court of Kalinga:
Mujhe nahin pata mere dono Putri apni man chaha bar pa sakenge yeah nahin?!! (I am so scared. I don't know whether I two daughters can get the suitable grooms according to their own wishes or not?!!) The King of Kalinga, Maharajah Chitrangad, who was also known as Chitra Varma, was telling this worriedly to his Prime Minister Agnimitra. In worried face.
He knew who was his Bhanu's choice. Prince Arjuna. But he did not know the choice of his younger daughter. Supriya. He did not know who was Supriya's "Aradhya" (deity)?!!!
King Chitrangad of Kalinga
"Chinta mat kijiye, Hey Rajaan. Apki dono Putriowo ko unki man chaha jivan sathi ati abasya milega. (Don't worry, o mighty King. I think your both daughters will get their suitable candidates. Soon.)" He assured his worried King in vain.
The King was not a bit assured. His intuition was telling something foul was going to happen to them. Very very soon!!!
Prime Minister Agnimitra
They both were unaware of the storm was brewing in the horizon!!!

Guys,
I started to write down a story on the second Karna Sangini Supriya as I thought none of you are aware of her. Except her name. Hope you like it too. Just like Uruvi and Padmaja. Thanks in advance.
