see:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The auspicious Panchali also, from her five husbands, obtained five sons all of whom were heroes of the foremost rank and immovable in battle like the hills. Prativindhya by Yudhishthira, Sutasoma by Vrikodara, Srutakarman by Arjuna, Satanika by Nakula, and Srutasena by Sahadeva,--these were the five heroes and great warriors that Panchali brought forth, like Aditi bringing forth the Adityas. And the Brahmanas, from their foreknowledge, said unto Yudhishthira that as the son of his would be capable of bearing like the Vindhya mountains the weapons of the foe, he should be called Prativindhya.
And because the child that Draupadi bore to Bhimasena was born after Bhima had performed a thousand Soma sacrifices, he came to be called Sutasoma.
And because Arjuna's son was born upon his return from exile during which he had achieved many celebrated feats, that child came to be called Srutakarman.
While Nakula named his son Satanika after a royal sage of that name, in the illustrious race of Kuru.
Again the son that Draupadi bore to Sahadeva was born under the constellation called Vahni-daivata (Krittika), therefore was he called after the generalissimo of the celestial host, Srutasena(Kartikeya).
The sons of Draupadi were born, each at the interval of one year, and all of them became renowned and much attached to one another.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Prativindhya was the same age{ some moths difference} as Abhimanyu
2.and abhimanyu was born after Arjunas return to Indraprsatha
3. All the 5 sons of draupadi born one year after another.
So, if sutkarman was the youngest, [which means he should be 1 year younger than Sahdevas son since they were born one year after the other], he would be 3 years younger than Sahdevas son since after Sahdeva, It would again be Yudhishtiras and then Bheemas year.
Or
Nakula and Sahdevas sons have to be older than Yudhishtira and Bheemas sons. This way, after Sahdevas son was born, next year Yudhishtiras son, then Bheemas Son and finally Arjunas son would be born the year Arjuna returned from Vanvas.
But Prativindhya and Abhimanyu were the oldest in the same age group, and Abhimanyu was born the year Subhadra married Arjuna.
So if Srutkarman is the youngest then Nakul and Sahdevas children have to be older than Pritvindiya and Abhimanyu
