After Pāṇḍu had been cursed, that he should have no progeny, he caused Dharma to procreate Yudhiṣṭhira in Kuntī, then Vāyu to procreate Bhīmasena, and then Indra to procreate Arjuna.—§ 190d (Pāṇḍavotp.): I, 123: In order to propitiate *Indra* (before summoning him), *Pāṇḍu*, took counsel with the *maharshis*, and caused *Kuntī* to observe an auspicious vow for a full year, while he himself began to stand upon one leg, etc. After the birth of *A.* a bodyless voice said that he should subjugate the *Madras*, the *Kurus*, the *Somakas*, the *Cedis*, *Kāçis*, and *Karūshas*, and satiate *Havyavāhana* (Fire) in the *Khāṇḍava* wood with the fat of all beings, and, with his brothers, perform three sacrifices; in battle he would gratify *Çañkara*, and receive from him the *Pāçupata* weapon, and, at the command of *Indra*, slay the *Nivātakavacas*, and acquire all sorts of celestial weapone: 4791, 4795.—§ 191: On hearing this voice, the ascetics dwelling on *Çaṭaçṛṅga* became exceedingly glad. There was heard the sound of *dundubhis*, and flowers were showered down. The various tribes of celestials (*devagaṇaḥ*), etc. (*a*), came there (enumeration, among others, of *Devagandharvas*, *Apsarases*, the twelve *Ādityas*, the *Rudras*, the *Vainateyas*). Then the Aqvins procreated the twins Nakula and Sahadeva in Mādrī.—§ 192 (Pāṇḍavotp.): I, 124, 4854 (the third son of Kuntī). Having been procreated on Çaṭaçṛṅga in behalf of Pāṇḍu by the gods Dharma (Yudhiṣṭhira), Vāyu (Bhīmasena), Indra (Arjuna; the mother of these three was Kuntī), and the Aqvins (Nakula and Sahadeva, who were twins and sons of Mādrī) in Pāṇḍu's wives Kuntī and Mādrī, the five Pāṇḍavas after the death of Pāṇḍu were brought to Hāstinapura and educated by Droṇa, under the supervision of Bhīshma. Their cousins (the sons of Dhṛtarāshṭra) hated them, especially Duryodhana, who tried to murder Bhīma, and later on all the Pāṇḍavas and Kuntī (Mādrī burnt herself with the corpse of Pāṇḍu), and Karṇa (from jealousy.—§ 203 (cf. Droṇa): Droṇa asked his pupils to promise him what he had on his heart; only Arjuna promised, and became the foremost of all his pupils. He asked every one of his pupils a name for a vessel for fetching water, in order to test them in filling it, but to Arjuna he gave a vessel (*kumbha*), and told him to instruct his sons, and Arjuna filled the vessel.
