People I just heard a YouTuber. He was discussing on some point, where he said that Bheem addresses Draupadi as BratraBharya somewhere in Virat Parva


Can someone please confirm on this? I don't understand Sansksrit and have therefore have no clue about this.


In case he does, I guess our discussion on the Polyandry of Draupadi is resolved. BhratraBharya will mean the wife of brother.

Ask the Youtuber for citation if you don't mind.


While I firmly believe there was no polyandry, am always hesitant to take the word of such fanboys/girls who shamelessly make up stories to suit their points of view. I mean... there IS something called truth which should not be bent.

True and sometimes I feel the new age Hindutvawaadi YouTubers try to eliminate those stuff from the texts which they think isn't good as per today's standards. So even their statements shouldn't be believed in toto


I have requested him for the citation. Let's hope he replies

This is the link for that video. He is actually justifying to a Catholic woman who claims Polyandry is in Hinduism and is a bad thing

Someone well verse with Sanskrit should help us here. Since this was brought up on this forum earlier too. So if he did he really called her brother s wife. That resolve the long drawn debate on polyandry.

I didn't find any such in Virat Parva. Having said that, I'm told Arya Samaj MBh does portray Panchali as married only to Yudhishtira. There is no English copy. Actually, I haven't even found a Hindi copy and the info is only hearsay. If anyone has a copy, do share citations. It will take me 5 minutes to understand a Hindi sentence, but I'd want to see😆

I googled it with different keywords, there's nothing 🤣

Although in Shantiparva "Bhrata Bharya" is there but it is like Brother and Wife, not Brother's wife and bheema didn't say it, bheema says something after it

Who says BhratraBharya there in Shanti Parva?


Then I guess this YouTubers was just trying to come up with his own theory

Its in Sanskrit, it takes me a while to read Devanagari so I didn't read who said it


"माता पुत्रः पिता भ्राता भार्या मित्रजनस्तथा | अष्टापदपदस्थाने त्वक्षमुद्रेव न्यस्यते ||38||.


I googled Draupadi Bhima " Bhrata Bharya"


This is the only place where Bhrata and Bharya are together
