After death of king Vichitrveer his both wives Ambika and Ambalika are send by Satywati to her son Ved Vyas for a child .Since Vyas is scary looking the Ambika closes her eyes and Ambalika goes pale . Vyas says Ambika son will be blind while ambalika son will be pale . Vyas again asks to grant Ambika a son .She sends her maid in her place who is not frightened and gives birth to a normal son who is Vidur . Vidur was the incarnation of dharm raj. His wisdom is also called as Vidura niti.
Since he was not of royal blood he was made counsellor .Vidur played a very big role in saving pandavas life by informing them about Lakshagrah incident
