see in those vedic times as per laws of manu , till 25 yrs is the age of formal educaton and it may extend till 36 yrs (voluntary advanced studies). no man could get married before this age.
hence there wont be any person going to war before the age of 25 yrs. even yudi is 30 when he completes his studies and the rangbhoomi is set up to show their skills. no warrior was 16/18 yrs in mahabharata.


on a side note medha when it comes to chronology , thre are a lot of anomalies in KMG and criticla edition. i tought of creating a seperate thread for it but am afraid of the brickbats i will recieve as after-effect!😉
for eg . the sunda-upasunda story is narrated to yudi after 13yrs of his marriage?!!! 😕

Medha, Yudhisthir kept calling Arjun and Bhima 'Child' even after they were grandfathers.😆

Whenever I read about Virata War, I laugh so much when Arjun literally drags Uttar who is running away. That is awesome.🤣

Seriously, like Arjuna has to drag him back by hair and lift him up and what not ... Lots of manhandling done by Brih.

And whenever Arjuna blew his conch, he used to get petrified and talk about leaving, and then Arjuna would laugh and reassure him.

Oh no it is copy pasted from KMG - that is english translation of the sanskrit MB ... Indra had taken Karnas Kavach Kundal by then .. so it was actually an equal equal fight for the first time ...

Thanks for the post Medha. I wonder why Karna is considered Arjun's equal in archery and as a warrior, sometimes even his superior, when Arjun had clearly defeated him here and during the skirmish with the Gandharvas as well. My apologies if this has been answered in another thread.
