Whose name is this? - Page 15

Correct! Uttarā Vairāṭī was Abhimanyu's wife.

46. Who was called Kaikeyīnandivardhana?

Nandi would be brother? I mean nandana is mostly child of right?

Vardhana means to increase?

I think the answer is Uttara. Virata calls him extender of Kaikeyi's joy.

Correct! Nandana = delighter means the same thing as Nandivardhana = increaser of delight. Both are used for sons, generally not brothers.

47. Uttara was the nickname of Uttarā's brother, who could have been called Siṃhaketu or Rajatāśva. What was his formal name?

Correct! Uttara Vairāṭi is called Pṛthivīṃjaya three times in Virāṭaparvan. He is also called three times by the synonymous name Bhūmiṃjaya, including his self-introduction.

48. What was the personal name of Uttara's mother Kaikeyī?

Correct! Sudeṣṇā is Kaikeyī.

49. Who was known as Saumadatti?

Correct! Bhūriśravas, son of Somadatta, is the most prominent Saumadatti.

Can you name his two brothers who also bore the name Saumadatti?

Another Saumadatti, who is killed by the Draupadeyas, might be Somadatta's grandson.

Correct! Bhūri was seriously injured in the war, but may have survived. Śala was killed, apparently by Yuyudhāna Sātyaki, but I haven't found this episode in the text.

50. Who was known as Saumaki?

Correct! Drupada was the grandson of Somaka through Pṛṣata.

Who else was known as Saumaki?
