4. The Burden of Choices and Consequences

Satyavati’s decisions, though politically necessary, create fractures within the royal family, setting the stage for future conflicts.

Dhritarashtra, born blind, is denied the throne despite being the eldest, leading to bitterness and resentment.

Pandu, the second son, becomes king but is cursed, preventing him from fathering children, leading to another crisis.

Satyavati begins to see how ambition alone cannot control fate, and the consequences of her actions extend beyond her control.
