does this conversation happen after duryodhan dies when all gods and balram are blaming panadavs and pandavas also feel bad?i am forgetting

if yeas then it has been tweaked from what is said in KMG or CE

Yes, its after Dury's death and Balram's anger; then Pandavas feel bad. Krishna actually gives even Balram a piece of his mind in RMs version. And as you can see, really lets it all out with the cousins

After reading through portions of RM, I get the feeling he is a big fan of the ladies😆. All of them are characterized very positively! I think we discussed the Bheem-Hidimbi portions before. Subhadra-Draupadi meeting was also extraordinary. Then there is Kunti's message via Krishna to the Pandavas in ShantiParva

@ashne: My pleasure that I was able to explain your views 😊 there are many misunderstandings regarding Yudhishthir's character & I think a thorough reading will nullify them 😊

Anyone read the Bheel MB? I thought the Abhi-Sachi story sounded very similar to the Tara-Chandra story

I thought not to respond here but could not resist after seeing a point. There is a new question: What makes Yudhishthir the great king he was supposed to be?
Please read his beautiful conversation with Sanjay from Udyoga Parva to learn his love for the prajas. A king who had so much love & care for his prajas is lovable in any country at any time, I think.

Ok now that should have hurt you I understand 😳.. My response was not about why Yudishtra is a great king.. it is about why, in the text, he is 'declared' a great king, a saint, a behavioral Brahmin etc.. and I guessed the question was about this.. if not for these declarations within the text, Yudishtira is NOT a plain, simple, soft, kind character.. Udyoga parva praises of Sanjaya contradict the dyut sabha staking of his praja doesnt it?

ok now in a language you might best understand.. Several times, several characters including Yudishtira call Karna as the one who never retreated from the warfield.. should I go with these words or the narrations where Karna does retreat? Latter isnt it?

This is Krishna to Yudhishtir after the war per RM. So, he does give them a piece of his mind, only he saved it for the end😆

Long time since Ive been in touch with KMG translation.. IIRC, the corrective measure Krishna suggested was he being a proxy of Yudi, like Shakuni was of Dury

bold that is harsh-😆 i would just say that even yudhishtir had certain controversial qualities which makes him interesting and not boring like how serials portray him

Oh Exactly!! Serial Yudis are really really boring 😡

Gandhara, as Watcher quoted was not threat by Bhishma.. it was a simple arranged marriage..

Kashi swayamvar gate crashing is again not new for that age per my understanding.. though I do wish he could have done something for Amba, am not sure what he would have done with her.. he being a celibate and Shalva being adamant..

Amba's silence during the chariot ride back to Hastinapur is curious. Is it possible that she hoped the valorous Bheeshma would marry them, rather than the inferior Vichitravirya?
