Can you find the citation of where Sahadev's son kills Dushashan's son? I've looked for it from Abhimanyu vadh to Shalya Parva, and not found it. So please reproduce it here.



Wikipedia all the way, I wasnt going to add their killings since it was from Wikipedia, but I thought It may help here.

OTOH, Her sons werent very good of a warrior to keep an eye on.

One doubt, When Bhishma was rating the warriors of the Kauravas, He rated Drona a 'Maharathi', In the later texts, Karna is often called 'Equal to two Maharathis', That means 2 x Drona = Karna

Hm.. strange.
Karna was after all, Drona's disciple.
But maybe since he learnt later from Dronacharya's guru, Parasurama himself?

Some retarded beings don't let me ignore them and their useless posts. I've come across anti-Bhishma posts...a retarded lady forces fake accusations on him, that he spoiled that Devi Gandhari's life by getting her married to Dhrit. I don't remember how many times I stated that this is just a folklore. I posted the citation as well. That wicked soul got exposed so she didn't reply to the citation and made a rubbish remark that 'KMG is Shruti's forefather'.
She abuses lord Krishna and even lord Rama. Plus she's a supporter of men like Duryodhana and his company...and Ravana. 😆
I know I can't expect such people to respect Bhishma, because they don't even spare god. She has made me hate her so called Devi Gandhari like hell. Gandhari suffered 'only' at the end, and she herself holds responsibility for it.

But he learnt only Brahma astra from lord Parashurama.

No that is an entirely different one!

Compare both of them...

KMG translated Ved Vyas Mahabharat...

Vyasa said 'In a certain hermitage there was an illustrious Rishi's daughter, who, though handsome and chaste, obtained not a husband. The maiden gratified, by severe ascetic penances, the god Sankara (Mahadeva). The lord Sankara, gratified at her penances, told her himself. 'Ask thou the boon thou desirest' Thus addressed, the maiden repeatedly said unto the boon-giving Supreme Lord, 'I desire to obtain a husband possessed of every accomplishment. Sankara, the chief of the gods, gratified with her, gave her the boon she asked, saying, 'Thou shall have, amiable maiden, five husbands.' The maiden, who had succeeded in gratifying the god, said again, 'O Sankara, I desire to have from thee only one husband possessed of every virtue?' The god of gods, well-pleased with her, spake again, saying, 'Thou hast, O maiden, addressed me five full times, repeating, 'Give me a husband.' Therefore, O amiable one, it shall even be as thou hast asked. Blessed be thou. All this, however, will happen in a future life of thine!'

The one I posted above...

"Krishna consoled Draupadi by sharing the knowledge of her past life. In an earlier life, Draupadi had invoked Shiva for a husband who was honest, husband who was strong, husband who was very skilled, husband who was handsome and husband who was a knowledgeable. Shiva had granted her this wish literally and provided her with 5 husbands. In some retellings, Shiva states that one man cannot have such qualities so she will have to marry 5 men."Source for this story...which puran!?

So my question is...

Krishna and Balarama come to visit the Pandavas in the potter's house.But they are told nothing about this strange decision of sharing Draupadi.I think Balaram & Krishna never intervened in this matter they just introduced themselves and saluted Kunti,Yuddhishtir&Bheem and greeted other brothers and left.

In the entire epic written by Ved Vyas did Krishna or Balaram raise their opinion either supporting or against this decision of Pandavas to share Draupadi!?


No one knows kya!?😔

O yes! Her name starts with 'S' only. From now onwards I'll ignore her completely.
