Mahabharata
English[Pāṇḍurājyābhisheka]
(“anointing of Pāṇḍu as a king”). § 173 (Sambhavap.): Upon the birth of those three children (§ 171), Kurujāṅgala, Kurukshetra, and the Kurus grew in prosperity, etc. The southern Kurus, in virtuous rivalry with the northern Kurus, walked about in the company of gods, ṛshis, and Cāraṇas. Virtuously ruled by Bhīshma, the kingdom was adorned with hundreds of caityas and yūpas. Dhṛtarāshṭra, Pāṇḍu, and Vidura were brought up by Bhīshma as if they were his own children, and became well exercised in archery, etc., and well read in the Itihāsas and Purāṇas and various sciences, and the Vedas and Vedāṅgas. Pāṇḍu excelled all men in archery, Dhṛtarāshṭra in personal strength, Vidura in devotion to virtue. Hāstinapura was the foremost among cities. Because of Dhṛtarāshṭra's blindness and Vidura's being a pārasava (son of a brahman with a śūdra woman), Pāṇḍu became king. One day Bhīshma addressed Vidura [about the marriage of the two princes]
(I, 109).
