Kadru and the Snakes Janmajeya, Utanka and Takshaka were mere pawns in the hands of fate. The snake sacrifice had been ordained aeons ago as a result of sibling rivalry between Kadru, the mother of snakes, and Vinata, the mother of birds. The snakes refused to help their mother to deceive Vinata and hence became the recipients of the curse. Brahma the Creator also supported the curse but added a provisio of his own. janmajeya • utanka • takshaka • kadru • vinata
