Madri loved horses, as a child. In some other land this might have made for a rare princess, but everyone loved horses in Madra where children learnt to ride as soon as they could keep a seat and grip a rein, and lived half their lives in stables.
The greatest temples in Madra were dedicated to the Ashwini twins, healers and horse-lords, and their symbol stamped on every saddle, woven into the pennants fluttering white and gold above the war-chariots of Madra.
Shalya comes home alone from a fight with Hastinapuri. Madri, prisoner-wife, summons the twins to her marital bed.
