Hello, my name is Abhiram, and though I am not a regular member of this forum; I just know Vrish 😊 this quiz thead seemed interesting. I am a fan of the Mahabharatha, and I love quizzes as well. That pulled me here.

I browsed through some initial pages, and some of the answers given were wrong or inadequate. For the question : 'What were the incognito names of the Pandavas and Draupadi in Virata's court ?', the answer is

Yudhishthira : Kanka

Bheem/Bhim : Ballava ( not Volala😳)

Arjuna : Brihanalla

Nakula : Damagranthi ( not Damagran)

Sahadeva : Tantipala ( not Tantripala)

Draupadi : Sairandhri

And one of the earliest question was give some more names of Draupadi, 3 names were given ( Panchali, Yagnyaseni and Agnijyotsna). There was one more well known name of hers - Krishna 😊

@ varaali : Sorry, I should have written 'Tantipala ( not Tantripala)..I wrote the corrected thing again

@ india2050 : No, its not Tantripala, its Tantipala. Tantipala means one who is the guardian/ caretaker of cows/calves fettered by a cord ( Tanti : cord , Pala : caretaker/guardian) and this was because Sahadeva assumed the role of caretaker of the cows of Virata. Tantripala would mean one who is the caretaker of Tantri or minister. 😊

Next question is ...

What was the name of Gandhari's father and what was the special significance between him and Shakuni ?

Subala. After Subala's death, Shakuni used his bones (thigh bone, IIRC) to create his dice.

Somewhat like Lord Voldermort...😆
