(Vyasa Talking With Gandhari: Wikimedia Commons)
- Gandhari is the woman that married to Dhritarashtra, but he is blind.
- Gandhari blindfolds herself to share her husband's life, and her brother, Shakuni, has to take her to Hastinapura to marry Dhritarashtra.
- Gandari receives a blessing from Lord Shiva that she will have a hundred sons, but her first child is a shapeless lump.
- Vyasa tells her to prepare one hundred jars, and Gandhari's requested another jar for a daughter.
- Vyasa cuts the lump and puts a piece into each jar, and then, they wait two years.
- Their first born is Duryodhana.
