Because he was such a fierce presence, they could not stay where they were. So let us call Vayu, the God of the Winds.” She withdrew and called for Vayu. Please have one more.” “So who should be the father?” Pandu said, “We have Dharma, but we also need strength. This is enough.” He said, “No, we must have one more child.” He begged and pleaded, “What will they think of me if I have only one son. A year had passed when Pandu became greedy and said, “Let us have one more child.” Kunti said, “No, we have a son and the Kuru clan has progeny.

She bore a child, who was named Yudhishthira and considered as the first of Pandu’s sons. Kunti withdrew into the forest and called for Dharma, and Dharma came. We must have Dharma’s son as the king of the Kuru clan.” Dharma is also known as Yama, the Lord of Death and Justice. Whom shall we call?” They thought for a moment then Pandu said, “We must call Dharma. So if you really wish, I will do this for you.” She did not tell him that she had already called someone in the past. He said with this mantra, I can call for any god I wish and I can bear his child. He was so pleased with me that he gave me a mantra. She said, “There is a possibility.” He asked, “What?” She said, “When I was a young girl, Sage Durvasa came to my father, and I was his hostess. When he expressed his frustration to a point where he wanted to commit suicide, Kunti revealed something about herself. Besides, he is a king in name only, and since he is blind, his children anyway should not be kings. Dhritarashtra also does not have children. If none of you bear children, the Kuru clan will be lost. One day, when it reached its peak, he told Kunti, “What shall I do? I want to kill myself. He interacted with the sages who were around and tried to keep himself busy, tried to forget that he was a king, but this deep frustration kept on growing within him. Pandu got so frustrated with this situation that he gave up all his power and authority and went to live with his wives in the forest. Once again, as in the previous generation, the Kuru clan did not have progeny.
