Kunal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kunal (3rd Century B.C) was the son of Emperor Ashoka and Queen Padmavati. Legend has it that Kunal was renowned for his beautiful eyes. Tishyaraksha, Ashoka's youngest wife gained Ashoka's confidence and plotted to have him blinded and killed, but the official executioners spared Kunal and he became a wandering singer accompanied by his favourite wife Kanchanmala.

In Pataliputra, Ashoka hears Kunal's song, and realizes that Kunal's misfortune may have been a punishment for some past sin of the emperor himself and condemns Tishyaraksha to death, restoring Kunal to the court. Kunal was succeded by his son, Samprati.
A semi-fictionalized portrayal of Kunal's life was produced as a motion picture under the title Veer Kunal (1925).
