Definition in this text:

A legendary king before the time of the Buddha, whose story features in the Mahābhārata. He could not produce descendants due to a curse, so his two wives conceived five children with different gods, after invoking them through a special mantra. Their sons became known as the five Pāṇḍava brothers. It’s for this reason that this text states this family has confused their genealogy. See UT22084-046-001-118.
