Ages are not very clear. It is said that Yudi lived up to 102 years, so subtract 1 for each bhai. Krishna and Arjun were 6 months apart, Krishna being elder. Balarama is said to be anywhere b/w 1 to 3 years older than Krishna.


Also, I read in one discussion in the ⭐️MB forum ke Yudi was about 50-51 years old at Draupadi's swayamvar.


And Arjun alone went to exile (the one where he married the girls) after they came to Indraprastha but before the Rajaduya yagya.


Why: the brothers had made a vow, to keep them from fighting for Draupadi (and for the sake of her own sanity), ke they will never enter a room where Draupadi would be alone with another brother. If they did, they would go on exile and remain a brahma-chaari for the next 12 years.


Once in IP, a Brahman(s?) came to him crying ke some dacoit had stolen their cows. So Arjun promised them that he will save their cows and rushed to their armory to get his bow. At that point only, Drau and Yudi were talking and were alone inside the armory.


Arjun figured he did not have the time to wait for them to finish, so he entered anyway and took his stuff, saved the cows and then left for exile (in spite of literally everybody telling him not to, with a landslide of upadesh and anunay).

Explained in a better way above so editing


@Pro Krishna ki died at the age of 101 and was alive for around 12-13 years after the war. He and Arjun would have been 89 during the war


Yudhishtir attended Swayamwar at 50? Utne time tak Kisi ko soojha nhi ki uski Shaadi Kara Di jaaye


What I feel comic is the friendship of Duryodhan n Karna. Karna was born before Kunti's marriage, then after marriage Pandu married Madri, killed that mating sage, went to van, stayed there for sometime before getting the idea of Niyog by gods.


Matlab at least 12-13 years difference Yudhishtir n Karna, Bheem is younger and Yudhishtir and Duryodhan nominally younger than Bheem, matlab at least younger than Karna by 15 years. Itna age difference waala bff kaun banaata hai, wo to uske uncle k age Ka hua

Why couldn't he take any other weapon? Did he have only one of it? What was his weapon doing in Draupadi's room?

He needed his Gandeeva bow na. And it was not in Drau ka room. It was in the royal armory. Drau and Yudi just happened to be inside that room and were I guess just makin small talk.

I don't think it was just a small talk🙃🙃 Yudi was quite a dude, no?


He had his Gandiva bow means Burning of Khandavprasth happened before he went on exile, if I am not wrong, he got the bow there

Oh 🤔

How much time did it take them to build Indraprasth and did Arjun go on exile before building it?

After building. They had already started reigning over Indraprasth


No idea on the time taken. I don't think it's mentioned either
