Kunti told Pandu about her mantra, and Pandu was delighted. "Summon Yama, god of dharma," he exclaimed, "and our son will be righteous."
Kunti summoned Yama, and she had a son. They named him Yudhishthira.
"Now summon Vayu, god of wind, so our son will be strong." Kunti had another son, and they named him Bhima.
"We need a warrior son," said Pandu. "Summon Indra, king of the gods."
Kunti had a third son, and they named him Arjuna.
Kunti shared her mantra with Madri, and she summoned the twin Ashwin gods, who gave her twin sons, Nakula and Sahadeva.
