I havent found an online copy of Indo version in English. But I have found some gems online (there is no other way to describe it😆)

Keep in mind that they have a ton of versions same as in India. There is the Kakawin, the Jawa and the puppet Jawa versions that I have heard about.

The best of the lot -

Bheem had to defeat Drupad's BIL Satyajit in a wrestling match / mace fight to get Panchali.

This Satyajit is the father of Satyabhama and Satyaki.

So by that version, Satyabhama is at least a first cousin of Panchali and Krishna is her brother by marriage. That may explain why Satyaki was defending Dhrisht so vociferously and was so pro war

It also explains the Panchali - Satyabhama friendship because I have been wondering when they ever met to become such bosom buddies that Satya actually asks her for secret potions to make Krishna obedient😆

Oh yeah, the biggie. There is a Satrajit in the Indian version who is Satyabhama's father and there is a Satyajit as well. This Satyajit is the son of Kanka, the daughter of Ugrasena and sister of Kansa and one of Vasudev's younger brothers Aanaka. Possibly the same Kanka mentioned in the Gingee dance performances as Panchali's birth place

Make what you will of all this😆
