About this listen

 Vidura was born through Niyoga between the sage Vyasa and Parishrami, a handmaiden to the queens Ambika and Ambalika. He was the stepbrother of Dhritarashtra and Pandu. But because his mother was a handmaid rather than a queen, his status was always lower than his two half-brothers. After Krishna, Vidura was the most respected as an adviser by the Pandavas, whom he forewarned on various occasions of Duryodhana's plots to exterminate them, such as Duryodhana's plan to burn them alive in the Lakshagriha.©2025 ©2025 T.V.
