Madri was the mother of Nakula and Sahadeva in Mahabharata. She was the princess of Madra.
Bhishmacharya got Madri as the second wife for Pandu. Shalya who fought on the Kaurava side during the Kurukshetra war was the brother of Madri.
The Pandavas were born with the power of a mantra Kunti had obtained from Sage Durvasa. With that mantra, she could call any Deva and get blessed with children.
After Kunti gave birth to three children, Pandu told her to get children for Madri as well. Kunti told Madri to meditate upon any Deva while she chanted the mantra. Madri meditated upon Ashwini Kumaras. They incarnated through Madri’s womb as her sons, Nakula and Sahadeva.

When Durvasa visited Kanwa’s ashrama, Shakuntala did not notice him. She was lost in the thoughts about Dushyanta. Durvasa cursed that whoever she was thinking about, would forget her.
Agastya means - one who froze the mountain's growth. Vindhya mountain started growing to block the path of the Sun. Sage Agastya crossed Vindhya from the north towards the south and made the mountain promise not to grow until he returned. अगं विन्ध्यं स्त्यायति इत्यगस्त्यः ।
