CURSE OF KINDAMUNI

AT ONE TIME Pandu raju went to Himalayas along with his wives,Kunthi and Madri.

He went there for hunting.He killed one of the two deers which were involved in consummation.He did not even consider for a single moment ,that it is blasphemous two kill when they were involved in promotion of their progeny.One of the deers fell down dying and said so. He was a sage named kindamudu.He and his wife wanted to enjoy sex in the guise of deers.So they were moving about in forest in a romantic mood.Pandu raju killed such deers.Heartless people and rough and tough people also do not kill animals which are involved in sex as it is a very pious act.Pandu raju was born in a very high family which is reputed.He is not supposed to do such heinous acts.He cursed that pANDU RAJU WOULD DIE IF HE desires his wives.So from then onwards ,Pandu raju was doing severe penance.

One day he saw some sages go to heaven and he too wanted to go to heaven.But he knew the reality that a person who had no children could not reach heaven.He was depressed.Then those sages consoled him with divines blessings he too would have children in future.Pandu Raju then asked his wife ,Kuntheedevi ,to have children with some other persons.Kunthee disagreed with him in this issue.They told each other Pyushithaasvuni story and Swethakethu story to emphasize their line of thinking.Then Kunthee told him about The boon of Durvaasa muni and the manthropadesamu.As per Pandurajus directions,Kunthee prayed Dharmadevatha with the manthropadesam given by Durvasa maharshi.She became pregnant.On an auspicious day a boy was born, Aakaasavaani told that He would become the king of kuruvamsa.He would be righteous man.He would be ferocious.So he should be named as Yudhishtara.

As per the boon of Vyasa maharshi,Gaandhaari too became pregnant.She could not give birth even after an year.Knowing that Kunthee gave birth to a good and nice boy,she felt jelous and unrestful and she beat at her womb.The embryo fell down .At that time,Vyas maharshi came cur the embryo into 101 bits and put them in separate ghee pots. He told them to maintain proper humidity for the embryos by sprinkling water now and then.By doing so, Gandhari would have 100 sons and one daughter.
