Reading Notes: More Mahabharata Part B


(Boon Of Indra To Kunti: Wikimedia Commons)
  • Kunti befriended Durwasa, a sage that had a short temper and was known for laying curses upon people for the slightest offense.
  • Durwasa enjoyed Kunti's company because it was unlike the way that everyone else treated him.
  • When he left, he whispered to Kunti a mantra and told her that it would summon any god.
  • What the actual mantra did was summon a god AND Kunti could bear their son.
  • This is how Kunti gave Pandu five sons, despite his curse of death by intimacy.
