Son of the Sun:
Kunti was wise when she was growing up
Sage Durwasa paid a visit to their village
Everyone was afraid of the sage except for kunti
Kunti served the sage and kept him company
Durwasa was used to being avoided, and enjoyed her presence
When Durwasa had to leave he whispered a mantra into Kunti's ear
This gave her the power to summon any god she wanted
She did not believe this so she tried it, and summoned the sun god
She winds up in the possession of the son of the sun god, but can not keep him as she is unmarried
Kunti puts the baby in a basket and sends it down the river
Sons of Pandu:
Pandu accidentally kills a hermit and is cursed
Kunti first calls upon Yama
Yama responded to kunti's chant
He gave her a son that would be the embodiment of virtue and patience
Pandu is very happy with his new son
Kunti then calls upon Vayu dev, the wind god, and was given yet another son
Kunti went on to do this everal more times with several different gods
Each time resulting in more epic sons
Pandu was still cursed, and soon perrished after pushing himself on madri
Madri went into the flames with pandu as he was cremated
Kunti could no longer bear the sight of her old home
She took off with the pandavas
