Ep 6-10

Vichitravir passes away without giving heir to Hastinapur because of bad health.So, Quen Satyavati calls in Vyasa who is also like a son to her. Vyasa has been in penance and so his looks are quite frightening and distorted. To carry on the heirloom of the family, he agrees. When Ambalika enters the chambers of Vyasa, she gets freigtheened by his looks and closes her eyes, and so the offspring born is blind, he is Dhritarastra. When Ambika enters the chambers she gets freigthened but does not close her eyes so, she gives birth to a child who is born weak, and will remain of a bit ill health throughout the life, he is Pandu. These childrens are not born of coitus,  but by divine powers of Vyasa. Since both the princes born have some incompetency, Satyavati order Ambika and Ambalika that either of them should again visit Vyasa. But freightened by his looks they don't go and send their maid instead. The child born of maid is going to be the most learned and bright minds of the kingdom in future. He is Vidura.

 

All the three princes grow up and come back to Hastinapur. Bhisma wanted Dhritrashtra to become the king, but Vidura using the knowledge gained during his study, puts a point, and advises to make Pandu the king. And thus Pandu becomes the king. When time of marriage comes, Dhritrashtra is married first as he is the elder brother. He marries the princess of Gandhar, "Gandhari". Since her husband is blind, she also ties a ribbon to her eyes, so she could feel the pain of her husband and understand him. Pandu marries Kunti, Kunti is daughter of King of Yadavas, King Shoorsen, and thus is the sister of Vasudeva. Vasudeva is the father of Lord Krishna. Thus Kunti is the aunt of Lord Krishan (Bua). In her father's home Kunti's name is Pritha. When King Shoorsen  gave her away to his heirless brother Kuntibhoj, "Pritha" became 'Kunti". During those days, Sage Durvasa visited Kuntibhoj. Kunti worshipped the sage and sage Durvasa pleased with her service, grants her a wish. She asks for a mantra, "that would help her in the future". Sage teaches her a mantra, which when recited can call any god from heaven to earth. One day she was skeptical about sage Durvasa's granted verse so looks upto Sun and recites the mantra, so Sun God comes down to earth and grants her a child, who is born with  Child was born with an armor and earrings. He was Danveer Karna. Since Kunti was not married when Karna was born, she gave him away. She wrapped him up in a box and gave him away in the river.

Kunti and Pandu marries. When Pandu is winning battles and extending boundaries of Hastinapur. He has a face off with King of Madra. Instead of having a fight, King of Madra offers a hand of friendship which is accepted by Pandu. King of Madra also gives Pandu a gift in form of his Sister, princess Madri. Thus Pandu has two wives, Kunti and Madri. When Pandu returns to Hastinapur. He is asked by Vidura and Bhisma to go on a vacation with both his wives and get some rest. So Pandu along with both the queens go to Tapovan for spending some peaceful time.In Tapovan they meet Sage Kindam. Sage Kindam tells the  king and queens about the debts one needs to fulfill before dying, they are:

 1.) Gods Debt  (Devrin) : It is of Lord Vishnu  - Can be fulfilled through Charity

2.) Sage's Debt (Rishirin) : It is of Lord Shiva -Can be fulfilled by acquisition and sharing of Knowledge

 3.) Ancestral debt (PitruRin): It is of Lord Brahma -Fulfilled through extending heirloom

Before leaving for Tapovan, Pandu makes Dhritrashtra the acting king. Dhritrashtra's ear are filled by Shakuni, brother of Kunti, as how he looks great and the crown suits so well on him. In Tapovan accidentaly Pandu kills Sage Kindam and his devotee, mistaking him for a tiger. While dying the enraged sage curses Pandu that he will die when he fill get closer to a women for procreation. Pandu gets frieghtened by listening to this. He returns back to Hastinapur and tellls the court everything that has happened.To save himself from the curse, he punishes himself an exile from kingdom and worldy pleasures. But both the queens also come with him. In exile in Tapovan, he tells Kunti about the curse of Sage. At the time Kunti remembers the Mantra given to her by Sage Durvasa, she recites the mantra and thus Yudhistira, Bheema and Arjuna are Born. Nakul and Sahadev are children of Queen Madri. Back in Hastinapur Gandhari gives birth to Duryodhan.
