Kunti-Bhoja
In Hindu mythology, Kunti-Bhoja (or Kuntibhoja) was the adoptive father and cousin of Queen Kunti.〔Mahabharata〕 He was the ruler of the Kunti Kingdom.
Kunti was a daughter of King Shurasena, but was later given to Kuntibhoja since he was devoid of children.〔(KUNTI (also called Pritha and Parshni) )〕 Kuntibhoja raised her as his own daughter and loved her.〔''First Book Adi Parva Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa and Kisari Mohan Ganguli'' by Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa. Page 272.〕 She was very beautiful and intelligent and later married Pandu.〔"The large-eyed daughter of Kuntibhoja, Pritha () by name, was endued with beauty and every accomplishment."〕
When Kunti was a young girl, the sage Durvasa visited Kuntibhoja one day, and sought his hospitality. The king entrusted the sage to Kunti’s care and tasked Kunti with the responsibility of serving the sage and meeting all his needs during his stay with them. Eventually, the sage was gratified. Before departing, he rewarded Kunti by teaching her ''Atharvaveda'' mantras which enabled her to invoke any god of her choice to beget children by them.
Kuntibhoja took part in the Kurukshetra War, siding with the Pandavas. He perished in the war, falling to Dronacharya.
