Anu, in which other instances Surya makes his mark in scenes including Draupadi?

None at all. It was a joke and a reference to ⭐️B which obviously didn't work😆.

But I am really really curious as to who was it that financed their exile. It couldn't have been cheap feeding themselves and the entourage while trekking across Northern India.

Who was this Surya, who was rich enough to help them and powerful enough not to worry about retaliation from HP.

Since it is Dhaumya who advised Yudhi to ask for Surya's help, it must be someone very dear to Ps. Else Yudhi would not have asked for his help. And this Surya also sensed Indra's plan to make Karna donate KK.

So this Surya had a soft spot for both the P's and Karna.

😆 Exactly Radhika.
Why was he playing both sides?

Thread members, any ideas on who it could have been, since there is no Akshaya Patra in CE and someone clearly finances them

Oh I want to believe that it is their mysterious Daddy doing undercover work.

He possibly was Karna's daddy himself! Is anyone having some info that connects Kosala kingdom to Ps? Kosala is Sun dynasty. We cannot reject the idea of Karna's father being a Kosala king/prince. Any King of Sun dynasty can be called Surya. It is unlikely that the over intelligent & sharp minded Kunti, who clearly knew what always she wanted & made it all happen, fell in love with wrathful, pervert, fake Durvasa having long, grey beard & all those stuffs that make a teenage girl dislike him. So if anyone knows anything -rivalry/friendship- between Kosala & Ps, please post here so that at least we can consider other options if such a chance does not exist.

But why would Karna's daddy finance the Ps? Thats what I don't understand.

Btw, read a passage in KMG which states that Yudhi fed 10,000 Brahmins pork and venison. That was a shocker to me. I mean I knew the ancients ate meat, but I thought pork was not a staple.

Unless Mr. Surya/Kosala king (?) knew that K and P's were siblings and wanted to bring them together. But that sounds lame. Why only help Yudhi during the vanvas and karna during the weapon incident, Why not help atleast Karna during other times

10,000 Brahmins and the rest of their retinue also rt. Thats a lot of people to feed with out financial help.

Brahmins of Yore eat non-veg?

Not everyone was like Duryodhana or Krishna who always disliked the opposite side! What if Karna's father was a neutral type person who did not want to support one side only? There is a zero between positive & negative. I am not 100% sure, but it is a chance.
