Kunti and Vidura described to Akrura in detail the evil intentions of Dhrtarastra's sons, who could not tolerate the great qualities of Kunti's sons -- such as their powerful influence, military skill, physical strength, bravery and humility -- or the intense affection the citizens had for them. Kunti and Vidura also told Akrura about how the sons of Dhrtarastra had tried to poison the Pandavas and carry out other such plots.
