Vibs

The only other wife explicitly mentioned is Nakul's Nirmitra - Dhrishtaketu took her back to Chedi. It's safe to assume that all the Pandava wives, like Subhadra, took their kids w/ them to their parental kingdoms, like Chedi, Kashi, Dwarka, Magadha and so on.

Kunti, very inexplicably, did remain in Hastinapur. When Yudisthir refused to take her in exile, instead of staying w/ Vidura, she should have accompanied Subhadra to Dwarka to stay w/ Vasudev, or she should have gone back to Kuntibhoj.

What? No...

Pradyumna was anyway too young for Draupadi and at that time was stuck in Shambarasura's palace.

Asking this question again,

Has Bibek Debroy completed the translation of Mahabharata based on Critcal edition?. As far as I know he has only published "Volume 1 : Adi Parva", If he has completed the translation, Is it available online?

One would think that, but actually, no.

Paundraka, Vasudeva, Bhagadatta endued with great energy, Kalinga, Tamralipta, the king of Pattana, the mighty car-warrior Salya, the king of Madra, with his son, the heroic Rukmangada, Rukmaratha, Somadatta of the Kuru race with his three sons, all mighty chariot-fighters and heroes, viz., Bhuri, Bhurisrava, and Sala, Sudakshina, Kamvoja of the Puru race, Vrihadvala, Sushena, Sivi, the son of Usinara, Patcharanihanta, the king of Karusha, Sankarshana (Valadeva), Vasudeva (Krishna) the mighty son of Rukmini, Samva, Charudeshna, the son of Pradyumna with Gada, Akrura, Satyaki, the high-souled Uddhava, Kritavarman, the son of Hridika, Prithu, Viprithu, Viduratha, Kanka, Sanku with Gaveshana, Asavaha, Aniruddha, Samika, Sarimejaya, the heroic Vatapi Jhilli Pindaraka, the powerful Usinara, all these of the Vrishni race, Bhagiratha, Vrihatkshatra, Jayadratha the son of Sindhu, Vrihadratha, Valhika, the mighty charioteer Srutayu, Uluka, Kaitava, Chitrangada and Suvangada, the highly intelligent Vatsaraja, the king of Kosala, Sisupala and the powerful Jarasandha

The mighty son of Rukmini mentioned above clearly refers to Pradhyumna, since Samva was Jambavati's son. I dunno whether son of Pradhyumna further below refers to Anirudha.

I have another question. Didn't people have to meditate on Shiva for 100s or 1000s of years b4 he appeared b4 them?

In that case, how did Arjun get his boon from Shiva well within 12 years, while Jayadrath would have needed tops 2 years to get something from him? Similarly, Shalva was said to have propriated Shiva in the period b/w Krishna killing Sishupala, and Draupadi's vh, which was when Shalva waged a war on Krishna. Was Dwapar Yuga Mahadev so easy to please?

Vrish, Mahadev is called Bholenath. Remember the first episode of DKDM: when Sati had just held the bel patra in her hand and he appeared. If he can do THAT. he can very well appear after some kathor tapasya.

Shalva. Now you mention it, I don't get that either.

Pradyumna. Well, that means the only remaining reason is the one in RS Shri Krishna. That he was magically made into a youth. This is supported by SB as well: Pradyumna grew up in a short period of time.

But still, Pradyumna has grown up and all and Pandavas are still married?

And there is still the situation where Pardyumna's could-be wife turned out to be his AUNT.😲

WAIT A MINUTE. "The mighty son of Rukmini, Samva, Charudeshna, the son of Pradyumna with Gada, Akrura, Satyaki.."

So, Aniruddha also was a grown up by then? WHat nonsense is happening here????

And if ANiruddha could participate, how the hell was Akrura participating? Akrura is the age of Aniruddha's great grandfather! Ye Kya Ho raha Hai!
