Kunti had been given a special chant which could be used to summon a god of her choice to make her pregnant. She tested this boon originally by calling upon Surya, the sun god. She gave birth to Karna, who she abandoned. She then used the boon to summon Yama, Vayu and indra, giving birth to the first three Pandavas, Yudhisthira, Bhima and Arjuna. Madi then used the chant to summon the two Ashvins and she gave birth to Nakula and Sahadeva. After 15 years of celibacy, Pandu forgot the curse and tried to make love to Madri. He then died and Madri killed herself by throwing herself onto her husband's funeral pyre. His children fought and won the Kurukshetra War.
