The Kauravas? Since they were born after gestation in earthen pots?

Clever guess, but the Dhārtarāṣṭras are not called by these names in the text.


The word used for the vessels in which they gestated is kuṇḍa - not kumbha or kalaśa. It could mean a pit rather than a pot.

Droṇa is correct for all three names: Kalaśottamasaṃbhava, Kumbhasaṃbhava, and Kumbhayoni.


Agastya's story is told in Āraṇyakaparvan, where he is called Kumbhayoni, so that answer is also correct.
