I searched in Sabha Parva but nothing as such was mentioned(Draupadi's Vow).The next option is killing of Duhshasan...can you plz tell me in which book and which parva Bhim killed him!?

Bhima did vow to drink Dushashan's blood - which he later told Gandhari was symbolic - but neither did Draupadi vow to tie her hair in his blood, nor did Bhima do her that favor.

Bhima kills Dushashan in Karna Parva, just b4 the battle b/w Vrishasena & the Pandavas, which ends in Arjun killing Vrishasena.

While staking Bhanumati Duryodhan said that she is Kashi princess n Bheem's other wife Valadara I guess is also a Kashi princess. .so is there any relation of Bhanumati or Bheem's other wife? 😕

Actually, in the KMG version, Duryodhan's wife is unnamed. There is one story about Karna helping him abduct a princess of Kalinga, who he then married. This happened very early, b4 even the lakshagriha.

Bhanumati has been universally described as the princess of Trigartha. She had a sister named Jalandhara who was attracted to Bhima, but never married him. Probable reason - her kingdom was already allied to the Kauravas via Bhanumati-Duryodhan, so there is no way they could have supported the Pandavas, which would have been customary had Jalandhara married Bhima. Bhanumati's brother was Susharma, who in the actual epic is enemy of Keechak & Virata, and troubled the Pandavas throughout the war: Arjun killed him on day 18. During the Ashwamedha yagna again, that kingdom was one of the few to offer a tough resistance to Arjun.

Valandhara - a princess w/ a similar name - was princess of Kashi, and did marry Bhima. Bhima entertained her father w/ his mahlyuddha skills, and requested her hand in marriage. They had a son Sarvaga. Kashi fought on the Pandava side in the war.

Thnks Vrish for explaining the intricate web of these relations 😊 so Bhanumati is a fictional character?

Yes & no!!! Sorta like Vrushali - Duryodhan did have a wife or more, but their names are unknown.

I would say Bhanumathi and Vrishali are fictional names of real characters..

in Krishnavtar by Dr. Munshi, it is mentioned that Jalandhara and Bhanumati are sisters.. in fact, it was mentioned tht their older sister was married to duryodhan who died childless, so Bhanumati was married to duryodhan, then SHE died in childbirth, so Jalandhara was to be married to duryodhan, but she chose Bhima in her swayamvar..
