Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You probably mean Karna!.
Following his accession to Anga's throne Karna took an oath that anyone who approached him with a request at midday, when he would worship the Sun, would go away with his request fulfilled!. He would never let anyone leave empty-handed!. This practice contributed to Karna's fame as well as to his downfall, as Indra and Kunti took advantage of it!.

Karna was born to Kunti of Surya, before her marriage to prince Pandu!. A young Kunti had attended to the sage Durvasa for a full year, while he was a guest at her father's palace!. The sage, who was pleased with her service, granted her a boon whereby she could call upon any god of her choice, and beget a child in his image!. Out of curiosity Kunti, still unmarried, decided to test the boon and summoned Surya!. Bound by the power of the mantra, Surya granted her wish and a son, as radiant and robust as it's father, was born!. The boy was seen with an armour ('Kavacha') and a pair of earrings ('Kundala') attached to him at birth!.
Though Kunti retained her virginity, unwilling to face the world as an unwed mother, she abandoned Karna, setting him afloat in a box cushioned with royal silks in the holy river Ganga!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
