Veeran was born to the chieftain of Varanavasi, but the baby was born with an unlucky mark destined to bring doom to the state. Acting as per the dictates of the astrologer, the baby is abandoned in the forest.
A cobbler and his wife discover the baby in the forest, and bring him up as their son. They name him Veeran (English:Warrior) because he did not cry even though he was around forest animals.
