Yes that's mentioned and if that's true then Prativindhya can not be Draupadi's son, as Pandavas lived in Ekchakranagri before Panchali Swayamwar, in that case Prativindhya could be a Kaneen son of Yudhishtir who was adopted by Draupadi

He was lost and was found in Ekchakra. Which is one of the reasons I believe he was not her son.

Prativindhya was also called avatar of Ekchakra demon. And Ekchakra was the name of the village Pandavas stayed in before swayamvara.

Perhaps Yudhishtira had the son with Devika who was already dead. When Panchali swayamvara came up, he needed to tell Drupada he was not yet married so he'd be allowed to marry her instead of Arjuna. The baby was left in the village with someone. Arjuna later brought him back. Panchali adopted him.

Did vedvyas mentioned this coz I read vedvyas on highlighted Abhimanyu's birth not Upandavas.

I read upandavas were incarnation of vishwadevas

Mahabharat is so complicated. May be that's why I like this epic more.

Yes. In Adi Parva avatara description. It's huge, and I don't feel like searching for it😆, but it's there in sacredtexts.

I know Prativindhya was incarnation of Gandharv, Chitraratha.

Who is kaneen ?

This mean draupadi has daughter suthanu with Yudi.

I guess u have some misconceptions 4 nakul , if Sahdev killed Shakuni then Nakul killed Shakuni's son uluka, he killed karn's 3 sons , defeated dussashan d very first day , even killing of bheesam he assisted arjun & shrikhandi in destroying inner protection circle of bheesam. Infact he got many times in duel with drona , karn , bheesam where he fought very bravely. He killed some kaurav's sons.

He was sent 2 West during rajsayu after arjun , it is said nakul brought so much gold & coin that Yudi was forced 2 distribute it amoung his subjects.

Nakul was great diplomat & tactician , I read during exile when Pandavas use 2 kill kaurav"s spies they killed them in that way that it look natural , those tactics were given by nakul it is known as nakula dharman.

Regarding horseriding in rain every thing can't be described by vedvyas . He only wrote things which was very important to know.

I read Yudi told which villages he need which was rejected by dury , Sahdev was not ready only 4 shanti prastav. It's a myth , but as Sahdev was great astrologer dury sent someone to him for d date of war I guess.

Even if Shakuni's son and Karna's sons and the others he killed had survived nothing would have changed in the epic.

Now during the war people fight win or lose that doesn't make any changes at all. Nakul having been a good fighter doesn't make him an important character, Lakshman was a great warrior, he killed Shikhandi's son, was the one who challenged Abhimanyu at a time when topmost Kauravas including Dron and Ashwathama were reluctant to face him, and fought bravely with him. Karna's son Vrishsen was a nightmare to Pandavas army, he had defeated all the 5 Uppandavas in a one to five combat on the very day he entered the war, single handedly nearly killed Drupad while entering into enemy arena, and when Drupad's charioteer took him away out of battlefield, Vrishsen killed half akshauni of Drupad army on his own. But that doesn't make Lakshman or Vrishsen important for the epic.

Chitrangad ji was everything that Bheeshm was, powerful, warrior, zealous, ambitious, righteous etc. but that doesn't make him important for the epic.

Same is the case with Nakul.

Nothing would have changed if these characters were not in epic.

I didn't say that everything could be written by Vyas(although if he was such a fast horse runner that is important much more important than him being handsome so should have been mentioned by Vyas), I said that riding in rain without getting wet is physically not possible.

Regarding the last part, it's not a myth, Shanti Parva is very clear that Sahdev openly supported Draupadi's demand for war.

Later in the same Parva Krishna tells Vidur that the villages were chosen by Sahdev since he knew that Duryodhan would never agree to give them.

Sahdev being a great astrologer is not of much use to the epic, but the above acts are, which is the reason he is much important unlike Nakul
