Who was the heir to the Throne after Yudhishtira? - Page 11

Suthanu and Krishna's son Bhanu is in Harivamsa, not folklore

Oh thanks for the information.

But I thought that Kuru vansh didn't have the concept of cousin marriage of daughters unlike Yadavas. So how come they were ready to give their daughter to cousin (the reverse was done by then but not this way is what I knew)

I'm guessing not many princes of right age were left at the end of war.

Bhagwat Purana and SB are similar and that's what I said that it's not mentioned in epic but in secondary sources.

Second point is worth pondering, but I don't think Dury would have accepted that order. And Samb did love Lakshmana so I don't even think he would have tortured Lakshmana for the sins of Duryodhan

However it's so interesting that Gandhari's curse came true through the husband of her grand daughter

If I remember right, Samba raped Lakshmana. Wouldn't call it a love story.

After Krishna's death, the text says Pandavas ruled for 36 years. Funny thing is when they leave, they assign Kripa to teach Parikshit his basic education. Really? A thirty-six year old man? And why Yuyustu as regent? Parikshit was old enough at that time. Not only that all of Yudhishtira's instructions are given to Subhadra, not Parikshit.

I think the 36 years was 36 months.

Kripa would have been around 100 then considering he was there when Vichitraveer was born so at the time when the grandson of grandson of Vichitraveer was 36, Kripa couldn't be less than 100

Did he?? And yet Krishna ji forgave him? I thought he was just trying to abduct her when Duryodhan and his men captured him

Forget love then that was criminal

Yeah😂. Lot of problems in MBh chronology. It might work if it were 36 months. Kripa would still have been in his 80s.

If you notice, Balram was the one who went to rescue Samba. Krishna didn't lift a finger.

I don't know how much is folklore and how much from HV/SB, but Samba did this and worse. He slept with Krishna's wives.

Krishna cursed him with leprosy. The description I read somewhere sounds more like syphilis.

Samba was the source of Krishna's worst headaches. 😆

Only Jambavati kept badgering him to forgive her son, and that's why the idiot lived to effectively cause the Yadava massacre.

Krishna curse sambha having leprosy but for what I don't remember
