was supposed to be the greatest beauty of the land of
Bharata. During the swayamvar however, the princess of X
refused to marry the Kuru Prince. Bhishma then attacked
the kingdom of X, defeated the King and imprisoned the
entire population, giving them one handful of rice to eat a
day.The King decreed that the handful of Rice be given to
his youngest son, so that the family lineage be continued.
One by one, the entire population starved to death, as was
expected. As he lay dying, the King called his youngest son
and asked him to swear revenge on the entire Kuru Race
and be the cause of it's downfall.He then asked him to
