King Pandu argued with sage Kindama by misquoting sage Agastya's ruling on the right of Kshatriyas' on hunting. The dying sage placed a curse on Pandu since he had not only killed them in the midst of lovemaking but was not remorseful for his action. While hunting in a forest (looking from a distance, his vision partially obscured by plants and trees), Pandu saw a couple of deer in the process of coitus, and shot arrows at them only to find out that it was Rishi Kindama and his wife who were making love in the form of deer. Pandu later conquered the territories of the Sindhu Kingdom, Kashi, Anga, Trigarta Kingdom, Kalinga, Magadha, etc., and thus re-established their supremacy over all the kings and increased the span of his empire. His second wife was the princess of the Madra kingdom Madri. He was married to Kunti, the adoptive daughter of Kuntibhoja and the daughter of Shurasena (father of Vasudeva Anakadundubhi and grandfather of Krishna). He became the successor to his kingdom and was crowned King of the Kuru Kingdom. He was an excellent archer and Maharathi (warrior). Pandu was taught in the fields of archery, politics, administration and religion by Bhishma.
