I can answer only one question that Ashwathama directed the women towards all Pandava women. Draupadi, Subhadra and others became barren bcoz of the nuclear effect.
Hi FriendsMy knowledge on the epic saga is very little based on only bed time stories by my grandmother and tv serials. I have started reading Mahabharat recently, want to know which online site is closest to the original Mahabharat. There are many stories related to MB that is talked about and sometimes they are contradictory to each other. All these are damn confusing for a beginner like me. Different people come up with diff explanations... Wiki is not of much help either.Now presently I have three questions- may be very silly ones!! Please bear with me.1. Did Ashwatthama take any vow of lifelong celibacy like Bhism? I have heard about it. In the serial I don't know what they are showing? If yes then why And when He took such a wise decision? He doesn't look like someone very wise like Bhism to me.2. Ashwathama directed Bhramhasira towards the womb of Uttara, or he directed it towards the wombs of all pandava womenfolk in general (which is difficult to believe bcoz all of them were not present in one place na?). What actually he did?3. Why was Abhimanyu's child the only heir of Pandavas? Agree that all their children were died but were they so old at the time of Kurukshetra that they were incapable of producing children anymore? Even a septuagenarian can produce children. I mean technically it is not impossible right?. So what was stopping Pandavas to marry young princesses and produce heirs? In those times they had sages who could generate children from anywhere anytime. If they really wanted to carry forward their legacy was it so difficult for them?Please someone explain these to me?I should have posted it in Doubts and discussions thread but woh mujhe abhi mil nehi raha..don't know why?😊
As for y Parikshit became the heir, then that's a long story, which is debatable.
Besides, when they had Parikshit, as their own blood, y would they take help from Rishis and Munis? Well that is my understanding.
The rest of the questions can probably be answered by other members. 😊
