After the chaotic succession events concerning the throne of Hastinapura, culminating in the end of the Kuru bloodline, this episode looks at the implications of the vow of Bhīṣma never to take to the throne, despite being the most qualified in every respect, not least with the blood line. The episode continues with raising of the two new crown princes Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Pāndu, as well as their step brother Vidura, coming from the unions of Sage Vyāsa and Princess Ambikā, Ambālika as well as Parishrami the maidservant.
