{| Doubts and Discussions about Mahabharata - 2 |} - Page 21

IN Mahabharata this story is narrtaed by Vyasa - Krishna Dvaipayana, not Krishna the Yadava.

What were the names of Draupadi's sons? I know that the eldest one was Prativindhya. They had remarkable role in Kurukshetra?

Is there any strong evidence to prove that Shikhandi was present on Arjuna's chariot? I believe that he wasn't.

Bheeshma:
Let Vibhatsu, therefore, armed with weapons, struggling carefully in battle, with his excellent bow in hand, placing (Sikhandin or) something else before, throw, me down (From my car). Then the victory will be certain.


Arjuna:
Therefore, keeping Sikhandin before him and at our head, we will, by that means, overthrow the son of Ganga.

Here Arjuna mentions that he'll place Shikhandi at their head, before i.e. in front of Bheeshma. So it's clear that he wasn't present on Arjuna's chariot.

Then Sikhandin, taking up a mighty weapon and protected by Kiritin, rushed impetuously towards Bhishma alone. The unvanquished Vibhatsu then, knowing what should be done after what, slew all those that followed Bhishma, and then himself rushed at him.

Yudhisthira's son - Prativindhya

Bheema's son - Sutasoma

Arjuna's son - Srutakirti

Nakul's son - Satanika

Sahadeva's son - Srutakarma

They fought the war and were alive till the last night, one can say that they sacrificed themselves (Though unknowingly ) for the Panadavas. Ashvasthama killed them in their sleep on the 18th night.

They weren't that great of a warrior to fight against Bhishma, Karna or Drona.

One doubt;Did Bheeshma had every weapon that Karna,Arjuna and Drona had? And Did Drona had every weapon that Karna,Arjuna,bheeshma had?And Did Karna had every weapon that Arjuna,Drona and Bheeshma had?And Did Arjuna had every weapon that Karna,Bheeshma and Drona had?????? 😕😕

Some weapons were very exclusive, Like the Pashupatastra, Only Arjuna had it ( I think Bhishma had it too, but I don't have any citations to prove it .)

Drona had Brahmadanda, which contained the power of the saptarishis, he did not impart the knowledge to Arjuna or his dear son. Drona had Narayanastra which none had except his own son.

Karna had Bhargavastra which contained the power of Parshurama himself, He had the Vasav shakti given by Indra. He also had Nagastra.

Bhishma had Prashvastra which I think none had.

Then there were the element weapons, like the Agniastra, Vayuastra. etc etc which everyone had.

There was Brahmastra which all 4 of 'them' had, then there was the most destructive astra, the Brahmashira which I think all 4 of them had.

Not every weapon possessed by Arjuna was available to B,D and K and vice versa.
