The Pandavas returned to their hut and said that they have bought alms (signifying Kanyadan). The Pandavas attended the swayamvara of Draupadi in Panchala. Hidimba would go on to birth Ghatotkacha, who later takes part in the Kurukshetra War. Bhima is reluctant, but Kunti ordered Bhima to marry Hidimba seeing merit in the woman. Later, Bhima slays the rakshasa Hidimba and he is beseeched by Hidimbaa, Hidimba's sister, to wed her. The powerful Bhima brought his might to the fore and defeated Bakasura. Kunti engineered a plot where Bhima would be able to face and kill the demon. When Kunti heard the cries of a Brahmin - who had provided her and her sons shelter in Ekachakra, Kunti consoled him and suggested that instead of a Brahmin's family, her son Bhima would face the demon. Villagers had to send one member of their family and food to Bakasura, who devour both. They travel the countryside, disguised as brahmins.ĭuring their stay at Ekachakra, Kunti and the Pandavas came to know of a demon, Bakasura, who ate people. But with early warning and aid from Vidura, the Pandavas and Kunti fake their death and escape the burning house. With the help of Shakuni, Duryodhana planned to burn the Pandavas and Kunti in a Lakshagraha while they were on a festival at Varnavat. Dhritarashtra named Yudhishthira as his heir, enraging Duryodhana. ![]() Duryodhana claimed to be the next heir for the kingdom. When the Pandavas returned to Hastinapur, there was a succession crisis. As the rivalry culminated between Pandavas and Kauravas, she decided to go back to Kunti Bhoja. Kunti was left helpless in the forest with her children.Īfter the death of Pandu and Madri, Kunti took care of all five Pandava children taking them back to Hastinapur. Madri committed sati as she was the cause of his death. But, as a result of Kindama's curse, he died. One day, Pandu, forgetting his curse, attempted to make love with his wife Madri. She also invoked Ashvins for Madri on her behest and Madri gave birth to twin sons, Nakula and Sahadeva. Thus, Kunti used the boon granted to her by Sage Durvasa (which she had used to bear Karna) to bear three sons- Yudhishthira by Yama - god of death Bhima by Vayu - god of wind, and Arjuna by Indra - the king of Svarga (Heaven). He advised her to beget children by suitable, illustrious men. When Pandu expressed to Kunti his despair at the prospect of dying childless, she mentioned the boon granted to her. They said, without children, one can never aspire for heaven. He met some sages and asked them a way for the heaven and salvation. A remorseful Pandu renounced the kingdom and went into exile with Kunti and Madri. Pandu could not make love with his wives due to the curse by sage Kindama. Pandu renounced the kingdom and went into exile with Kunti and Madri. ![]() Sage Kindama then decided to curse him to die if he ever should become intimate with his wife. King Pandu argued with sage Kindama by misquoting sage Agastya's ruling on the right of Kshatriyas on hunting. The dying sage placed a curse on Pandu since he had not only killed them in the midst of lovemaking but was not remorseful for his action. Pandu, while hunting in a forest, mistakenly shot and killed Rishi Kindama and his wife as they had taken the form of deer to mate. Kunti was disturbed by her husband's act, but eventually reconciled with him. Madri was of the view that Kunti was inferior by birth to her because Yadavas were cattle herders while she was a princess. ![]() Soon after, during his mission to expand his empire, Pandu married Madri, a princess of Madra in order to secure the vassalage of Madra. Kunti chose King Pandu of Hastinapur, making her the Queen of Hastinapur. Out of fear of the public, Kunti abandoned the child, who later became famous as Karna. To her surprise, the child was born with his sacred armor on. Bound by the power of the mantra, Surya begot a child on her, and restored her virginity. Out of impetuous curiosity, Kunti invoked the god Surya. Being extremely pleased by the all comforts, patience, and devotion offered by Kunti, he offered her a mantra that would invoke any god of her choice and he would bless her with children. ![]() Her father gave Kunti to his childless cousin Kuntibhoja. Kunti was the sister of Vasudeva, the father of Krishna and shared a close relationship with Krishna. Kunti was the biological daughter of Shurasena, a Yadava chief.
