Zhiguo (Sanskrit: धृतराष्ट्रṛ tar) ā ṣṭra) is the king of Hastinapur in Mahabharata. In name, Shiguo is the son of King Qiwu, the second son of King Fushen, but in reality, he is the son of Prince Qiwu's illegitimate son, Piyasa, and Queen Anbijia. Because King Fushen's sons, King Qiwu and King Huachuan, passed away early, King Fushen's queen, Zhenxin, requested Piyasa to assist King Qiwu's two widows in renewing their marriage. The other one was born as a result of this, and the two are nominally brothers, half siblings by blood. Zhiguo was blind from birth. Legend has it that when his mother gave birth to him, she couldn't bear to close her eyes due to the strange smell on her body. As a result, Zhiguo was born blind. For this reason, her younger brother, Bandu, inherited the throne earlier than Zhiguo, and Zhiguo had to wait for Bandu's death to become the king. Later, because Bandu's son, Bandu, and the son of Princess Gandoli of Jiguo and Jiantuo, were unable to compete for the throne, his younger brother, Bandu, inherited the throne earlier than Zhiguo, Triggered the Gunlu War. After the Battle of Gulu, the Gulu tribe suffered a great defeat, and the ruler also died in a forest fire.

Character Story
At the end of the war, Zhiguo was saddened by the loss of his hundred sons. He asked Heitian why he, as a kind and just king, would become blind. After hearing this question, Heitian crossed his legs for a moment and realized that it was due to karma. In his previous life, Zhiguo was a tyrant. One day, he saw a swan surrounded by a hundred little swans on a lake. On a whim, he issued an order to kill all the little swans and remove their eyes. Therefore, in this reincarnation, he must be blind and bear the pain of losing a hundred offspring.
