Hey guys, I wasnt aware of Amba-Bhisma relation.... but isnt amba, ambika, ambalika thing this way:: amba and ambika were the princesses and ambalika was a servent. vyas did it with these three women. for amba and ambika, he was jethaju. and remember in our society women are not supposed to touch their jethaju.. many women do not even show their hair to them... i know, many married women even touch the gundri (mattress) their jethajus are sitting on. and many women put on pachheura or majetro as soon as they spot their jethajus... well, it might be out of date in ktm though. so, vyas was jethaju for amba and ambalika, and fot them, it was a laajlagdo thing to sleep with him. vyas did it with amba. as she was too shy, she closed her eyes throughout the intercouse.. so, dhristarastra was born a blind. vyas did it with ambika. she was shy too... and i forgot what she did (as if i was looking at the whole thing??) but she did something silly as well. becoz of that pandu had weak health (rogi; i hope it wasnt AIDS) throughout his life. vyas did it with ambalika too. she was just a servant, so she didnt have to be as shy as the other two... and because of that was born a brilliant and a healthy and a smart bidur who later grew to become the prime minister.
