Yudhishthira stands revealed as a vast tree of religion and virtue, Arjuna its trunk, Bhimasena its branches, the twins its flowers and fruit, and Krishna, Brahma and the Brahmanas its roots. Pandu, conqueror of many countries, takes his abode with the Munis in the forest — where a grave misfortune, borne of a hunter’s arrow, becomes a warning for the conduct of the princes of his house. The gods Dharma, Vayu, Sakra and the twin Aswins answer Kunti and Madri, that the ordinances of the law may be fulfilled; and the children, brahmachari-student braid crowned, are led by the Rishis before Dhritarashtra. “These our pupils are as your sons, your brothers, and your friends; they are Pandavas.” The heavens themselves resound: showers of sweet-scented flowers, shells and kettle-drums, and the acclamation of the people — all rejoice in their heroic virtues.
Ugrasrava Sauti — the young Purana-reciter, bearing the great history forward.
The Pandavas — Yudhishthira, Bhimasena, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, sons of Pandu by the grace of the gods.
Kunti & Madri — the two queens, mothers of the heirs.
The Rishis & Munis — the sages who sheltered Pandu and now present his sons.
