In the Mahabharata, Indra begged Karna for his kavacha (armor) and kundala (earrings). Karna, born with natural armor that made him invincible, was approached by Indra disguised as a Brahmin. Despite knowing the true identity, Karna generously gave away his divine protection, which made him vulnerable and ultimately led to his death. Krishna and Kuber were not involved in this incident.
