She sings the summary of the war's origins. Sage Durvasa visits Princess Kunti's palace and blesses her that she will obtain sons from the gods. Kunti asks for a son from the sun god but becomes ridiculed for being an unwed mother, so she leaves him in a basket to float away in River Ganga. She marries Pandu and has 3 sons: Yudhishtir, Bheem and Arjun. Pandu's second wife, Madri, gives birth to Nakul and Sahadev. Pandu's sons are known as the Pandavas. Pandu's blind brother, Dhritarashtra, has 100 sons, the Kauravas, with his wife Gandhari. The eldest Kaurava is Duryodhan. The Pandavas and Kauravas learn under Sage Dronacharya and develop animosity between one another, which sparks the Mahabharata.
