Correct! But his father is Gavalgana, not Mavalgana. Small correction. maybe because in Hindi ma and ga are different only by one line in the middle.

@ Aria : you should have specified the incident while mentioning questions like this 😊

The question that you have asked is about the incident when a Yaksha, who was actually Yama, the Lord of Death in disguise, wanted test Yushishthira. Bheema went to drink water in a pond as all of them were thirsty, but the Yaksha asked him to answer his questions or else die. Bheema laughed and drinking the water, dropped down dead. The same happened with all the other Pandavas but Yudhishthira.
Yudhishthira answered the Yaksha's questions correctly, so as a reward he offered to make alive just one of his brothers. To his great surprise, Yudhishthira chose Nakula. On being enquired the reason for it, Dharmaraja answered that he, Arjuna and Bheema were the sons of Kunti; Nakula and Sahadeva those of Maadri. If Nakula were made alive, both mothers will have the satisfaction of having ateast one son alive. :)

Quote: Next - Why Gandhari told to Duryodhan to meet her without single cloth on body before war?? Unquote


At the end of Mahabhart war, Ghandhari was very sad and angry by the loss of most of her 100 sons, and she blamed Lord Krishna for this as she knew it was Lord Krishna who was behind Pandavas victory.
At the end of the war when Duryodhan was to fight Bheem, Gandhari call Duryodhan to come to her room at mid night with no cloth on the body, as she will open her eye and see Duryodhan her son and make his body of Vajra.But at that night when Dhuryodhan was going towards her mother room with out any cloth, Lord Krishna meet him in between, and ask him the reason for walking like this, Duryodhan told same thing to Lord Krishna, guessing the consequences of this Lord Krishna fooled Duryodhan, that how can you as a grown up man can go in front of you mother with out any cloth it will be very shameful for you and your mother.Duryodhan thinking the same thing as correct, put banana leafs around his lower body and gone in front of his mother, as Gandhari open her eye she saw Duryodhan fully naked, with only banana leafs arround his lower body.By this Duryodhan full body turned to Vajra except the lower part of his body from his waist to thigh.As the result Bheem killed Duryodhan by breaking his thighs.

NEXT: by whom and why was Duryodhana once abducted and who rescued him from the abductors.

King Duryodhana once had an encounter with some Gandharvas, who had cordoned off an area around a lake for recreational purposes and had blocked Duryodhana's army from entering. When Duryodhana tried to enter anyway, a fierce battle took place, and he was captured by the Gandharva forces. At this point, Arjuna, who was staying nearby, used his political connections with the Ganharvas to free Duryodhana. Arjuna and his brothers had been driven into exile by Duryodhana, but Arjuna intervened to save him from the Ganharvas on the grounds that he was a relative and a human being.


thanks gooogle devta...

next question: who was dhrithrashtra in his last birth?


Dhritarashtra in his previous birth was a tyrant king, who one day saw a swan surrounded by hundred cygnets. He ordered to poke the eyes of the swan bird and kill all the hundred cygnets just for pleasure. Therefore, in next birth he was born blind and all his sons were killed in the war.


next q:How did Vidura die and who was he an avatara of?
