The Story of the Pandavas

Dhetrashto and his wife Gandhari were not happy at all. When Yudhisthira was born, Gandhari was already pregnant but did not give birth to any child for almost two years. She grew impatient when she heard that Kunti had given birth to a boy. A ball of flesh dropped out of her womb; Vyasa Deva said the boon didn't come true. After few months, 100 sons were born in jars filled with nutrients. As sons of Pandu, they came to be known as the Pandavas.
