MAHABHARATHA – PANDAVAS GROWUP UNDER

THE GUARDIANSHIP OF DHRUTHARASHTRA

 

Dhrutharashtra was born blind.  Panduraja was his younger brother.  Panduraja died in the forest where he went on hunting.  His younger wife Madri ended her life by entering his pyre.  His queen Kunthi took her three sons (Dharmaraja, Bhima and Arjuna) as also the sons of Madri (Nakula and Sahadeva) with her and came to stay with Dhrutharashtra.  Thus Pandavas grew up under the guardianship of Dhrutharashtra.
