Demo Post 4 : Fourth Post

After Gandhari(mother of kauravas) was married to Dhritarashtra she wrapped a bandage over her eyes and vowed to share the darkness that her husband lived in. Once Rishi Veda Vyas came to visit Gandhari in Hasthinapur. where he received a great hospitality from Gandhari. Rishi Vyasa was pleased with her hospitality and granted her a boon. Then Gandhari wished 100 powerfull sons. Rishi Veda Vyasa granted her the boon and in due course of time Gandhari found herself to be pregnant. But two years passed away without the birth of baby, in the mean time Kunti gave birth to Yudhishthira(eldest of pandavas). After two years of pregnancy, Gandhari gave birth to a hard piece of lifeless flesh that was not a baby at all. She was devastated about that , as she was expecting 100 sons according to the boon given by Rishi Vyasa and was about to throw away the piece of flesh away when Rishi Vyas appeared and told her that his blessings could not have been in vain and asked Gandhari to arrange for one hundred jars to be filled with Ghee (oil). He told Gandhari that he would cut the piece of flesh into hundred pieces and place them in the jars, which would then develop into the one hundred sons that she so desired. Gandhari told Vyas then that she also wanted to have a daughter. Vyas agreed and cut the piece of flesh into one hundred and one pieces and placed them each in the jars.
