He was born as the son of Krishna-Dvaipayana, by the name of Vidura, brother of Dhritarashtra and Pandu, a man of boundless intellect. He is Dharma himself in the form of Vidura, through the curse of the great sage Mandavya — a knower of the truth of things, free from desire and anger. He, Vyasa, having discharged his duty, again united with the mother, and having announced to her the conceived fruit, vanished at once. Thus in the 'field' of Vichitravirya, from Dvaipayana, were born sons resembling those conceived by gods in splendor, the increasers of the Kuru line.

Here Vidura is born — the god Dharma himself, incarnate through Mandavya's curse, and the episode comes to its close. Telling is who was born of the maidservant: no ordinary mortal, but an incarnation of Dharma himself — 'a knower of the truth of things, free from desire and anger.' Here is the highest fruit of humility: where the queens bore a blind son and a pale one, the humble maidservant became the mother of Dharma incarnate; so reverence for a saint bears incomparably greater fruit than rank. Vidura is the image of the perfect righteous man: pure of mind, dispassionate, free of anger, a counselor faithful to dharma, whose teachings (the Vidura-niti) shine with wisdom throughout the epic. He is honored, too, as a great devotee of Krishna. Telling also is the mention of Mandavya's curse: even the god Dharma descended into the world as a man through a sage's curse — so providence weaves even seeming misfortune into its design, granting the world a righteous man. And telling is the conclusion: the three sons — Dhritarashtra, Pandu, Vidura — 'resembling those conceived by gods, the increasers of the Kuru line.' Thus the scripture, closing the account of the birth of the three brothers, sets upon the stage the principal figures of the coming drama: the blind king, the righteous Pandu, and the wise Vidura — and brings us to the very heart of the great tale of the Mahabharata.
