Can someone please provide citation(s) from KMG explicitly mentioning that the Pandavas realized the true meaning of Dharma before the war (or, at least, realized their mistakes in the dice hall with regards to Draupadi), and, that is why Krishna supported them for the Kurukshetra war...

Why am I asking this? ⭐️Krishna labelled the Pandavas as 'adharmis', so it is completely natural to enquire why the Lord Himself would side with the 'adharmi' Pandavas in a "dharma-yudh"...

And now, in order to justify Krishna's support to the Pandavas, ⭐️B might state that the Pandavas realized their own mistakes, and hence the reason for Krishna supporting them...

So, any evidence from KMG which supports all of this?

Even if one looks at it as Krishna only ensuring that everybody got the fruits of their actions in the war, be it for dharma or adharma, then -
Taking into account that the Pandavas faulted with regards to Draupadi, what was the main reason for Krishna (badly) wanting a Pandava victory in this "dharma-yudh", to the extent that rules of war got broken for the sake of their "victory"?

And if the Pandavas did indeed learn from their mistakes, then why did their "victory" come at the cost of heavy losses on their own side?

Any idea for how many generations the Pandava line survived after the war?
I have read in some books that the Magadha kings like Bimbisara and Ajatashatru etc were called the Brihadhrata line (I guess he was Jarasandha's father). Is that correct? If so that survived quite some centuries.

Well acording to Srimad Bhagavatam, the descendants of the Pandava line were Abhimanyu > Parikshit > Janamejaya and 3 brothers > Satanika > Sahasranika > Asvamedhaja > Asimakrishna > Nemicakra > Citraratha > Suciratha >Vrishtiman > Sushena > Sunitha > Nricakshu > Sukhinala > Pariplava > Sunaya > Medhavi > Nripanjaya > Durva> Timi > Brihadratha > Sudasa > Satanika > Durdamana > Mahinara > Dandapani > Nimi > Kshemaka.
So that makes 29 generations after Pandavas.
