Pandu was noble, all he wants to do is fulfill what his Kuru
elders wanted and make his kingdom look much better. He himself wished that
Kingdom of Hastinapur should be able to rule over other kingdoms to maintain
peace. Hastinapur was losing grip over other kingdom made him go ask his
elder Bhisma for help and permission to attack other kingdom otherwise they
would attack us. Bhisma gave his consent and told him to and let them
know the power of Hastinapur. Pandu won one kingdom after another in war
and nobody was able to defeat his army. After he was done attacking he
went back to Hastinapur and everyone celebrated for his return.
Pandu was considered as a person who would not disappoint his
elders and he will do anything to maintain dignity of his family. He
would not do something that will make his elder lose face in front of other
kingdoms and his peoples. Pandu had two wives name Kunti and Madri.
They both will follow their husband where ever he goes because that is
the duty of wives. They both will fulfill any wishes that Pandu ask of
them but they can also say no to them if they want. Behaving like a good
nature and fulfilling wife can be like having noble person beside you every
day.
After getting curse from Kindama a human who can transform as
a deer. Pandu was unable to have any
children and he was getting impatient that what will happen to his clan and
that he won’t be able to face his elder.
Pandu is a noble who never back down from his duty but this time it was
different. He went to Kunti and ask her
a favor to have a child through another man beside and she was a virtue wife
who never do something like that. Kunti
say I was given a mantra “boon” which let me have children from any god and
that way they were able to have three sons from Kunti and two sons from
Madri. After that Pandu was really happy
and they started living in Himalayas.
