Amba and Gandharva) Ambalika daughters of KAsiraja Dhritarashtra m. GAndhari | | Duryodhana 99 Others Duhsala Pandu m. a mt. Madri | | (By Asvini Kumars ) (By Dharma) (By Indra) (By Vayu) Yudhisthira Arjuna Bhima Nakula Sahadeva Santana had in his former life the power by pass of his hands to make an old man young. He was therefore called Santanu in this life. When he became king, there was drought for 12 years. The Brahmanas ascribed this to Santanu’s overlooking the claims of his eldest brother Devapi. Santanu went to his brother. But in the mean- time his minister had sent certain Brahmanas to Devapi and they dis- suaded him from Vedic Dharma. He thus became unfit to be a king and the Devas then rained. But Devapi is waiting at Kalapa for his future mission. The lunar dynasty will come to an end in the present Kaliyuga and Devapi will be the progenitor of the lunar Dynasty in the next Satyayuga. Satyavati was the daughter of Uparichara Vasu by Matsyagandha. Before her marriage with Santanu, Rishi Parasara had by her one son Krishna Dvaipayana, the renowned Vyasa, father of Suka, the pro- pounder of the Bhagavata Purana. As Vichitra Virya had no son, Satyavati asked Vyasa to produce sons on his wives. They were Dhritarashra, Pandu, and Vidura. YUDISTHIRA HAD: Purnendu Narayana Sinha, M. A., B.
