Origin | Madra |
Madri (Sanskrit: माद्री, IAST: Mādrī) was the princess of Madra Kingdom and the second wife of Pandu, the king of Kuru Kingdom in the epic Mahabharata. Madri, with the assistance of her co-wife Kunti, invoked the twin deities Nasatya and Darsa, collectively known as the Ashvins, and from their blessings, gave birth to the youngest Pandavas—the twin brothers Nakula and Sahadeva.
