Mythological
Myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths. Since "myth" is widely used to imply that a story is not objectively true, the identification of a narrative as a myth can be highly controversial. Many adherents of religions view their own religions' stories as truth and so object to their characterization as myth, the way they see the stories of other religions. As such, some scholars label all religious narratives "myths" for practical reasons, such as to avoid depreciating any one tradition because cultures interpret each other differently relative to one another. Other scholars avoid using the term "myth" altogether and instead use different terms like "sacred history", "holy story", or simply "history" to avoid placing pejorative overtones on any sacred narrative. Myths are often endorsed by secular and religious authorities and are closely linked to religion or spirituality. Many soc ...

Biological Mother
] A mother is the female parent of a child. A woman may be considered a mother by virtue of having given birth, by raising a child who may or may not be her biological offspring, or by supplying her ovum for fertilisation in the case of gestational surrogacy.

A biological mother is the female genetic contributor to the creation of the infant, through sexual intercourse or egg donation.

Uruvi
In the Hindu epic ''Mahabharata'', the wife of the warrior Karna is unnamed and in the ''Stri Parva'' of the epic, she is mentioned as the mother of Vrishasena and Sushena, the most prominent sons of Karna. Karna's wives are subjects of fantasy and different stories and folktales portray different women as the wives of Karna. In many recent adaptations of the ''Mahabharata'', Karna is married to two women—Vrushali and Supriya. Contradictory to this, the Tamil play ''Karna Moksham'' portray Ponnuruvi as his wife, while the regional ''Kashidasi Mahabharata'' states her to be Padmavati. In modern retellings, his wife is also called Uruvi. In the ''Mahabharata'' Karna's wives play insignificant roles in the original epic. In the ''Udyoga Parva'' of the ''Mahabharata'', Karna—while explaining his commitment towards his foster parents—mentions them. In the epic's ''Stri Parva'', Gandhari, the mother of Duryodhana (antagonist of the ''Mahabharata''), describes the grief of wo ...
