In Vedic astrology, Dhanishtha (“duh-NISH-tah”) is part of a group of this many constellations that are thought to bring ill fortune. To cleanse themselves of sin, many Hindus chant the names of Ahalya and other members of a group of this many kanyas (“KUN-yuhs”), or exemplars of chastity. After Kindama (“KIN-duh-muh”) curses a king with infertility for having an affair, the gods send this many boons to Madri and his other wife. This number (-5[1])partly titles a text attributed to Vishnu Sharma that includes “the mongoose and the Brahmin’s wife” (10[1])among its many fables. After a successful plot against a group of this many men led by Shakuni, they leave Hastinapur for exile in a forest. (10[1])Queen (10[1])Kunti advises that group of this many men, (10[1])including Nakula and Sahadeva, who oppose Duryodhana (“dur-YOH-duh-nuh”) and the hundred Kauravas (“COW-ruh-vuhs”). For 10 points, give this number of Pandava (“PAHN-duh-vuh”) brothers. ■END■ (10[1])
