When Karna asked Indra the reason for this, Indra said that Karna has donated gold all his life, he never provided food for the fathers. So gold has been provided to him in heaven. Korn said that since he was unaware of his fathers, he did not deliberately provide gold to the fathers. For this reason, Karna was allowed to die for sixteen days and provide food and water for the patriarch. This side is known as the patriarch.
