[He was begotten by Vyāsa on Ambālikā, one of the widows of Vichitravīrya.

He was prevented by a curse from having progeny himself; so he allowed his first wife Kuntī to make use of a charm she had acquired from Durvāsas for the birth of sons. She gave birth to Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma and Arjuna; and Mādrī, his other wife, by the use of the same charm, gave birth to Nakula and Sahadeva. One day Pāṇḍu forgot the curse under which he was labouring, and made bold to embrace Mādrī, but he fell immediately dead in her arms.] Comp. — AmayaH jaundice. — kaMbalaH 1 a white blanket. 2 a warm upper garment. 3 the housing of a royal elephant. — kaMbalin m. 1 a carriage covered with a woollen blanket. 2 the housings of a royal elephant. — putraH a son of Pāṇḍu, any one of the five Pāṇḍavas. — pfzWa a. ‘white-backed’, having no auspicious marks on the body, one from whom nothing great is to be expected. — BUmaH a region full of chalky soil. — mfttikA 1 white or pale soil. 2 the opal. — mfd f. chalk. — rAgaH whiteness, pallor. — rogaH jaundice. — leKaH a sketch made with chalk; a rough draft or sketch made on the ground, board &c.: pAMquleKena Palake BumO vA praTamaM liKaMt . nyUnADikaM tu saMSoDya paScAtpatre niveSayet ..
