No need to advise me to Read KMG . I have already read it years ago. I have read BORI CE in Sanskrit and it's translation by Bibek Debroy.

I m telling my views , my interpretation and you are telling yours. Now, If my views are matching with anyone else then nothing is wrong in it.

I Agree Arjuna said that Elder brother shouldn't marry younger brother's Wife you are blaming me for ignoring that line But you are aslo ignoring other important points mentioned below.

Satyvati asked Bhishma to beget sons to Ambika and Ambalika. My question is wasn't Bhishma elder brother of Vichitravurya ?

And Bhishma denied it saying he will follow his oath and, he didn't say that Elder brother can't beget son to Wife of Younger brother.

Here is the quote from

Adi Parva : Chapter - 97

O supreme among those who hold up dharma! Therefore, I am depending on you. I will ask

you to perform an act. When you have heard it, please do it. O bull among men! My valorous

son was your brother and you loved him a lot. He has ascended to heaven, though but a

child. Your brother's queens are the fortunate daughters of the king of Kashi and they possess

youth and beauty. O descendant of the Bharata lineage! They yearn for sons. O immensely

fortunate one! Therefore, so that the lineage continues, beget offspring on them. At my

request, perform this act of dharma. Instate yourself on the throne and rule over the kingdom

of the Bharatas. In accordance with dharma, take a wife and do not immerse your ancestors

in hell. The conqueror of enemies was thus addressed by his mother and his friends.

But the one who followed dharma replied in accordance with dharma. "O mother! What

you have said is certainly sanctioned by supreme dharma. But for the sake of the kingdom,

you know about the vow I have taken about not having offspring. O Satyavati! You also know

about the price that had to be paid for you and about the occurrence thereafter. I will again

repeat the truthful pledge that I then took. I can give up the three worlds. I can also renounce

the kingdom of the gods, or anything that is greater than both of these. But I can never go

back on the truth.

No where it os written that Bhishma refused because he was Elder brother of Vichitravurya.

Wasn't BuishBh Also welversed of knowledge of Vedas.

Dear Sis, Mahabharata is full of contradictory statements. Tha's why everyone interprets it in own way .

Now if we talk about whether Karna was eldest Pandva or not ?

Pandu hinhims Told to Kunti who can be Heir ?

Adi parva : Chapter - 111

O Pritha! The religious texts speak of

six kinds of sons who are both heirs and relatives and six kinds of sons who are neither heirs,

nor relatives. Listenthe son born from one's own self, the son presented, the son purchased,

the son born from one's widow, the son born through one's wife before marriage and the son

born through a loose wife.

KARNA WAS SON BORN THROUGH WIFE BEFORE MARRIAGE.

And yes , You haven't Countered my Point of Indra using Apsaras against Rishis

Here is a sample quote where Indra sent Apsaras to safeguard his Throne from Trishira and firstly he tried to seduce Trishira and when he couldn't be distracted, Indra killed Innocent weponless Trishira using Vajra

Udyog Parva : Chapter - 9

He was an

ascetic, mild and self-controlled. He was engaged in dharma and austerities. O destroyer of

enemies! His austerities were so great and terrible that they were extremely difficult to

accomplish. Having witnessed his austerities, valour, truthfulness, Shakra was depressed that

he might become Indra.65 How can one get him addicted to desire, so that he does not

torment through these great austerities? If Trishira continues to grow, he will swallow up the

three worlds.'66 O bull among the Bharata lineage! That intelligent one thought about this in

many ways. He then instructed the apsaras to seduce Tvashtra's son. Go quickly, without any

delay. Seduce Trishira and get him addicted to the pleasures of desire. O ones with the

beautiful hips! Wear the garments of love. Adopt a charming demeanour. O fortunate ones!

Tempt him and pacify my fear. O one with the beautiful limbs! I feel ill. I do not feel like

myself. O ladies! Swiftly take away my extremely terrible fear.' The apsaras replied, O

Shakra! O destroyer of Bala!67 We will make endeavours to seduce him, so that you have

nothing to fear. That treasure among ascetics seems to burn everything down with his eyes. O

god! We will go together and try to seduce him. We will try to bring him under our control

and remove your fear.' Being instructed by Indra, they went to Trishira. There, the ones with

the beautiful limbs adopted all kinds of allurements to seduce him. They showed their dances.

They exhibited the beauty of their limbs. But having seen this, the great ascetic was not

perturbed. He was in control of his senses and was as calm as the full ocean. They made

supreme efforts and returned to Shakra. All of them joined their hands in salutation and told

the king of the gods, O lord! This one is extremely difficult to distract. It is impossible to

sway him from his firmness. O immensely fortunate one! Do what must be done hereafter.

My Questions

- Was Indra father of Apsaras ?

- was Indra Brother of Apsaras ?

- Was Indra Husband of Apsaras ?

Its not like that. Krishna can offer any woman. Ved vyass himself offer draupadi and kunti also offered her without permission of arjuna or anyone

Satyavati asked bhishma to have sex with younger brother wife hence it was not forbidden
