Birth of 100 Kaurava

Episode#14

The first son to Gandhari was Duryodhana who was born on same day as Bhima! Her second son was Dusshasana followed by daughter Dusshala who was later married to Jayadratha.

Gandhari had prolonged pregnancy that lasted for two years and after learning that Kunti had given birth to her first son, she could not bear the mental trauma any longer, with great onslaught of frustration over-powering her, she started hitting her stomach with great fury!

As a result, a ball of pink flesh rolled out her womb; frightened to the core, she immediately called upon Vyasa and asked him 'when she was blessed with 100 children and 1 daughter what was the reason for her being childless despite two years of non-productive pregnancy?'

Vyasa dismembered the roll into 100 pieces of equal size and stored them in a Divine jar! After one year 100 Kaurava were born - the order of their birth has been aforementioned, the first Duryodhana then Dusshasana followed by Dusshala.

During her long pregnancy, the blind king Dhritarashtra indulged physically with his maid who bore him a son Yuyutsu, he too, was extremely proficient like Vidura but was disqualified to be the successor being daasiputra - a menial.

Pandu lived in forest with his two wives and five sons in the company of several learned sages aquired plenty of knowledge. But often did he miss the normal physical intimacy with his two wives owing to the curse by Kindama!

The curse was that he would never enjoy the pleasure of love making - even if she was his wife and would die instantly even if he gets physical with any female - wife or otherwise.
