Karnasapadam (The Oath of Karna) is an Aattakatha (Kathakali play) written by Mali Madhavan Nair. It is one of the most popular Kathakali plays, having been performed at over 5000 venues during the playwright's life time. The play centers around Karna's emotional conflict after the mother of the Pandavas, Kunti reveals that he is her firstborn. Karna grapples with his loyalty to the Kauravas and the knowledge that he is actually Kunti's son, and thus a Pandava. The play highlights his inner conflict and the heavy burdens he bears. This song follows a part of the conversation between Duryodhana and Bhanumathi.

A portion of this Kathakali padam was featured in one of the most pivotal scenes of the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Manichithrathazhu (1993).
