Here Pandu is born — the father of the Pandavas. Telling is that the second queen's defect too was imprinted upon her child: Ambalika turned pale from fear — and her son was born pale (Pandu). Here is a confirmation of the same law: fear and agitation in the mother at the sacred moment of conception set their mark upon the offspring; purity and fearlessness in the parents are a blessing for the child. And yet it is telling that Pandu, though pale, is 'endowed with auspicious marks, shining with beauty': his defect is lighter, for Ambalika's fear was less than Ambika's revulsion — she turned pale but did not close her eyes. Here a proportion is visible: the measure of a descendant's imperfection matches the measure of the parent's agitation. Most telling of all is the mention of the five Pandavas: from Pandu will come the righteous branch, and among his sons — Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna (friend and devotee of Krishna), and the twins. Here it is shown that providence, despite the defects of conception, leads the line to the birth of the greatest devotees, companions of the Lord Krishna Himself. Thus the scripture, in showing the birth of Pandu, proclaims the coming glory of the Pandavas — the bearers of dharma in this great tale.
