Since Dhṛtarāṣṭra was blind, Pāṇḍu
was made the king of Hastināpura.
Pāṇḍu was cursed by a sage that he
would die if he ever entered into a
physical relationship with his wives.

He therefore had no children.
Vyāsa says that all the five Pāṇḍava
children were born to their mothers
Kuntī and Mādrī through the
blessing of divine beings. Pāṇḍu
handed over the kingdom and his
children to his blind brother.
