Did Shakuni really live in Hastinapura? - Page 2

In book form, i remember the mahabharat stating the king subal his dad had purposely twisted his leg and caused the limp, to remind him of this revenge, in the book subal was outraged too, not as its shown on this adaptation.

@kools I agree..here the cv's have just made people either too dark like shakuni or too bright like kunti/pandu...

There is nothing black and white in Mahabharata ...all r grey with THEIR viewpoints .

But conception does not count dear ...the first birth does . And Yudhishtir came in the world first . Also this dropping from sky is something shown in serial ...in Mahabharata it is merely mentioned that 'tej' was received by Kunti ...'tej' has many meanings in Sanskrit ...aura and sperm both .

well yudi being elder than dury is also quite controversial. dury was conceived first. in fact all the 100 kauravas and dusshala except yuyu were conceived before yudi. so in a way they all were elder than yudi. dyru may have been born after yudi but then yudi just dropped from the sky. besides if we think about conception then all kauravas were conceived before yudi.

Yes they were conceived before pandavas but weren't they were just seeds when they were delievered as a lump after pandavas birth that is when Gandhari struck her stomach after she heard that kunti gave birth to yudhisthir

Here I found this link when I searched for the age of Duryodhan at the time Mahabharat took place but am not sure about the authenticity of this info

Age of Lord Krishna was 161 years. At the first sight, it may appear to be absurd. But it should be mentioned here that, according to Hindu scriptures, the normal life span of human beings is 400 years in Krita (or Satya), 300 years in Treta, 200 years in Dwapara and 100 years in Kali Yuga. In fact, during the Kurukshetra War, most of the military top brass of both Kauravas and Pandavas were more than 100 years old.

Arjuna was 89 (more or less)

Duryodhana was 90.

Yudhistra was 91

Karana was 105

but I heard read somewhere that Duryodhan was 40 yrs old when he died and his youngest brother was 16 yrs old and all the 100 kauravs did not come out of the clay pitchar at one time they came out over time gradually I will try to find that link where i read it

Here is the link of chronology of Mahabharat which tells us about the age of several people

but what does Ved Vyas ji's Mahabharat says???? How old was he?????
