Yes Vrish. As soon as I posted Pandu and saw Janaki's answer paralallel posted, I was almost 99% sure that was correct but my answering was only on the basis of clue 3 and later on clue 4. I had no guess whatsoever about 1st clue and only had guess about Shishupal in the second clue. While rest of the missing characters I was thinking to confirm whether Janaki is right or not, I thought let me secure the other two possibilities first. Madri and Gandhari.šŸ˜† Since you gave 4th clue after Janaki's answer, I presumed that Kunti seems to be wrong.šŸ˜† I would also have posted answer Pandu before Janaki's post but for my lost connection. But that was wrong any way.😊. And even after that, I got disconnected and reconnected 3-4 times with slow boring speed of downloading of pages.😔

Brilliant set of clues.

When I first saw the question, I thought 3rd clue to be the toughest. But that happened to be the easiest eventually for me and was the only base with which to move further. But this speed of internet is irritating me today at a very wrong time. I feel like jumping up and down and throwing away this pendrive.🤣

Nice clues, Vrish! I was stumped at first because of the first two clues, but the third one made it clear, lol.
Nice guesses, Shivang! When I saw your answer of Pandu, I thought I was wrong. ;)
Here are the next clues...
The woman I had come to hold feelings for became my sister through a strange twist of fate.
The son of this woman later began one of the greatest and most famous lineages known today.
I was the disciple of my father's enemy.

Kacha. The woman referred to here was Devyani, and the asura guru her father Shukracharya. Kacha was the son of Brihaspati - and Shukracharya was Brihaspati's enemy.

Also, she became his sister since he was killed, fed to her father who brought him back to life, and had to teach him the sanjeevani so that he wouldn't die himself.

The lineage in question are the Yadavas

P.S. Shivang, Varaali or anyone else who wants can ask the next question, since I can't think of any for the time being.

Vyasa. 'Shot by' the Brahmashira of both Ashwatthama & Arjun.

What was the sinful act, though? Him consumating Ambika, Ambalika & Ambika's maid, or him sheltering Ashwatthama after the carnage?

Vrish,

You are close. Very close. In fact the right answer is embedded somewhere in your answer...Give it one more 'shot'...
