About SAUVALI (Vaishya maid servant) Dhritarāshtra
Sauvali was a maid servant in the royal household and she used to attend on Dhitrarastra. The king fell for the maid’s charm she gave birth to Yuyutsu. This was the time when Gandhari was having problems delivering her children. (The Kauravas were not friendly towards their step brother and kept taunting him about his caste). Yuyutsu took the side of the Pandavas in the war. YUYUTSU was the son of Dhritarastra from his marriage with a Vyasa woman Sauvali. He was younger than Duryodhana and elder than the rest of the ninety-nine Kuru brothers andDushala. Eventually, he was the only son of Dhritarashtra who survived the Kurukshetra war.

Hastinapur, Uttar Pradesh, India
During Ghandari’s pregnancy complications, Dhritarashtra, fearing that he will never have an heir, had a son Yuyutsu, born to a lady-in-waiting of Ghandari's. In some versions, Yuyutsu was older than Duryodhana, in others, they were the exact age, and in even others, Yuyutsu was unspecifically younger than Duryodhana. There is the implication that Dhritarashtra was hoping to have a child before his brother had a child. |
