The story of the birth of the Kauravas.
-Why the Kurus chose Gandhari as Dhritarshtra's bride?
-How Gandhari gives birth to 100 sons and one daughter, in-vitro?
-Why some in the Kuru court wanted Dhritarashtra to kill the infant Duryodhana?
Gandhari was blessed with a boon to produce 100 sons. So she is frustrated when things don't go exactly as she had hoped–the pregnancy was unusual and she had not given birth to any sons yet. Dwaipayana comes to the rescue and Gandhari finally has her 100 sons, they are all born in-vitro (outside the body).
Dhritarashtra is delighted, but some people in the court have reason to believe that the Kuru dynasty is better off without his heir and first born, Duryodhana.
