Notes

a: Santanu was a king of the Kuru dynasty or kingdom, and was some generations removed from any ancestor called Kuru. His marriage to Ganga preceded his marriage to Satyavati. b: Pandu and Dhritarashtra were fathered by Vyasa after Vichitravirya's death. Dhritarashtra, Pandu and Vidura were the sons of Vyasa with Ambika, Ambalika and a maid servant respectively. c: Karna was born to Kunti through her invocation of Surya, before her marriage to Pandu. d: The Pandavas were acknowledged sons of Pandu but were begotten by Kunti's invocation of various deities. In particular:
Yama or Dharma (Dharmadeva), for Yudhishtira Vayu, for Bhima Indra or Varuna for Arjuna
• The twins, Nakula and Sahadeva were born to Madri through her invocation of the The Ashvins
• e:Duryodhana and his siblings were born at the same time, and they were of the same generation as their Pandava cousins.

Found it on Wiki

The tree has missed out one of Dhritarashtra's sons

hmm....the story about yujutsu is correct.....

thanx for the post...long family and an interesting one

actually theoritically pandu never becomes the father...its the rishi kunti and madhri go to concive...this is the best story for ekta...since there is so many pre-marital, marital and extra marital relationships....😛

The son is question is Yuyutsu - during Gandhari's prolonged pregnancy (around 2 years I think ), Dhitarashtra fathered another child with a maid.

Yuyutsu was a very good and righteous person - on the battlefield before the war began, he switched sides and joined Yudhistir's army

God bless.

hey this is from wikipedia right?

Thank you for voting but I guess they missed out Chitrangad.Satyavatis first son with shantanu.
