Thus entreated, Kunti — the fair-hipped one, devoted to her husband's joy and welfare — answered Pandu, conqueror of enemy cities: "In my father's house, as a girl charged with honoring guests, I served there a fierce brahmana of strict vows, whose resolve in dharma lay hidden, known as Durvasas. Him, of subdued soul, I pleased with every effort of mine; and that lord declared to me a boon joined with an invoking spell, and gave me a set of mantras, and said to me: 'Whatever god you summon with this mantra, willing or unwilling, he will come under your power.'"

Here Kunti finally reveals her secret to her husband — the boon of Durvasas. It is telling that she kept it hidden not out of guile, but held it back for the right moment, and now, at her husband's direct wish, discloses it honestly. Here is purity and obedience: the wife does not act on her own even while possessing a great gift, but reveals it only with her husband's consent and for a sanctioned purpose. Telling, too, is the origin of the gift — service to the fierce Durvasas, repeating the lesson that a saint's grace descends upon the one who serves humbly. Thus scripture resolves the knot of the story: the path to offspring is found — not through an earthly husband, but through the summoning of the gods themselves by a mantra given for service to an ascetic; and by this the wondrous birth of the Pandavas will be wholly pure and sacred.
