Would that be Bhim? Son of Vayu, a Maruta

Correct! Bhīma is called Māruti at several places in Droṇaparvan and Karṇaparvan. Bhīma addresses Hanūmat as Mārutātmaja, and that name is often used for Hanūmat in the story of Rāma in Āraṇyakaparvan, narrated by Mārkaṇḍeya. Bhīma is called Mārutātmaja in Āśvamedhikaparvan.

You're on the right track, but I haven't come across anyone named Somaśravā.

Found it here and one more place. Not sure of validity.


Janamejaya was alarmed by the curse and searched for a sage who can provide absolution from the curse. One day while hunting, he came across the hermitage of Rishi Shrutashrava and his son Somashrava, born of a serpent. Somashrava could absolve the King of all his sins except those against Mahadeva (Siva).

Another mention of Shrutashrava is among 5 sisters of Vasudeva, married to king of Chedi and mother of Shishupal.

Your source is correct; my mistake. Janamejaya's purohita Somaśravas, son of Śrutaśravas (male), could have been called Śrautaśrava.


However, it is Śiśupāla to whom Kṛṣṇa refers by his matronymic Śrautaśrava.


68. Who was known as Rukmiṇinandana?

68. Pradyumna, Charudeshna, Sudeshna, Charudeha, Sucharu, Charugupta, Bhadracharu, Charuchandra, Vicharu, and Charu.

Bhagwat Purana mentions these ten children (sons) of Rukmini-Krishna.


Pradyumna is the most widely known I believe.





It's good to have unisex names 😆
