Okay- next set of clues-

I witnessed four incarnations of Vishnu.

I was very powerful in my youth...though with each subsequent incarnation my strength decreased...

I feel apologetic/ashamed on thinking of my last meeting with Sri Hari.

This is tough. Is it Parsuram? No I dont think that is correct

Absolutely correct Shivang 👏👏

Jambhavan was present during the Samudra Manthan. (That's how he was able to advise Hanuman where to look for the Vishalaya Karni herbs on the Gandha Madana mountain.

Jambhavan also circled the Lord in the Vamana Avatar, beating a drum/ringing a bell. His shoulder was injured in the process.

Jambhavan's role in the Rama and Krishna avatars is well known.

Good Job Shivang. Your turn...

Thanks a lot Varaali. Now here are my clues:

The person who had spared my life took my life.

My nephew was responsible for my death and also the person who took my life was responsible for my mother's death.

I played a huge role in initiating a war which lead to the destruction of the family of my sister.

Thanks Shivang. It was easy anyway. I need some time to come up with the next set of clues.

Yeah that was indeed very easy but I tried to frame words of the clues to make it as confusing or misguiding as possible.😆 I thought let's see the speed and first attempt answer itself will give me the feedback how far tough the framing of clues were though the clues themselves and character was easy. BTW Jambuvan was my quick first guessed name immediately after reading the first clue and the next two clues confirmed it. On the contrary Urvashi one was very tough for me because it is side story of the epic or Puran.

Nandini. Mother of Maarich was Tadka.

Oh yes and was she also Kekasi's Mother?

Because Kakasi (Ravan's Mother) and Mareesh were Brother and Sister. Or were they born to different mothers

She should be Keikasi's mother but there doesn't seem to be any direct reference of it. Relation of both Kaikasi and Tadka is mentioned only with Ravan so we only have to guess indirectly. Even the relation of Tadka with Nana Malyavan is also to be guessed only (But one can have many nana nanis if one has many moms - real mother along with step mothers - so that guesswork may turn out to be dangerous and funny.😆) In fact as per different sources, even Ravan's mother's name also differs. Urmila will be the best person to reply this. As per some sources, Ravan and Vibhishan are only half brothers with only same father but not mother. But still Nana/Nani of one will have to be called as NanaNani by the other due to being related through step mother.
