Explanation

According to the Mahabharata, after King Shantanu's death, his son Chitrangad became the king of Hastinapur. He ruled for some years before dying in battle. After his death, his younger brother Vichitravirya (not Vichtravirya as misspelled in the option) became king. Bhishma had renounced the throne, and Dhritarashtra was later born to Vichitravirya's widow.
