Bheem's wife is Kashi wali someone called Kali, and Yudi' wale ka name isn't there. Any light here?

Proteeti, Dharmaraj married Draupadi first and then married Devika later. After the Lakshagriha episode, they entered into Ekachakrapura to hid there as Brahmins for some time.

And after they obtained Draupadi as their wife, they returned to Hastinapura. And then they dwelt for some time in peace and begat children through Panchali. Then Yudhishthira, having obtained for his wife Devika, the daughter of Govasana of the Saivya tribe, in a self-choice ceremony, begat upon her a son named Yaudheya. So it means he married her later. And there was a condition Draupadi put in front of her husbands while defining the rules they have to follow to safeguard their relationship with her as well as amongst them, that except she no other wife of any Pandavas has to stay at Raj Mahal. The husband has to go there to meet his wife when Draupadi stays with another Pandav. Narada assisted Draupadi while defining these rules.

Subhadra was an exception because she is Krishna's sister and Arjun wisely sent her first to Draupadi's palace in a servant maids dress to get her consent for his marriage with Subhadra!!

Very interesting stories with twists and turns throughout the narration!

Bhima married Valandhara, the daughter of the king of Kashi, and begat a son named Sarvaga. She lived with her son in the house of her father. When Draupadi agreed to be the common wife, her condition was that she would share her household with no other woman. In other words, disregarding popular practice of the times, the Pandavas could not bring their other wives to Indraprastha.Arjuna, however, succeeded in bringing one wife in. She was Krishna’s sister, Subhadra. And with a little advice from Krishna, she was able to trick her way into the household!

Yup, Kali Vallandhara.

So if Yudi married Devika after Drau, then how come Bheem got married before his bade bhaiya?

Pro there's no mention of wife hunt AFAIK, all the wives make guest appearances... I read somewhere arjun even married vasuki's sister.

This brings me to something I had in mind were ulupi and Ju married or it was one night stand kinda thing?

I didn't say mainstream wife hunt, but shaadi toh honi thi na, and I guess arranged hi tha, love marriage toh Bheem started na? In my text, it's just mentioned ke Bheem was married, so I deduced ke Yudi must also be married because of that eldest kinda rule. Also, unless BOTH Bheem and Yudi were married from before why would try out for Drau even?

Vasuki's sister is Uloopi na? She wanted a boy to take care of her, but Arjun didn't want a one-night-stand so they naam-ke-vaste married.

Yep yudhi must have been married, no not ulupi it's someone else she isn't his sister ... The patriarch then🤔

Haan, aur karo mazaak. Lifetime lesson, that one.

Good going Kanha, aur daant lagao, sab ko lagao...the world's most confused family! 🤣

I love when Shakku mama sasses Dury babu! 🤣

Draupadi's marriage to all the five Pandavas suggested due to Kunti's order. This part always sadden me for Draupadi. What was her mental situation at this point, I wonder?😔

Duryodhana was reminiscing about some fight to Dushasan and Karna and they were all laughing out loud. Sort of made me laugh too. All the expressions he was making.😆

The laughing faded off due to the news of Pandavas being alive. Even Shakuni is also fed up of Duryodhana's antics🤣

Is not Draupadi also considered as an incarnation of Sri Laxmi sometimes?

That is a misunderstanding.

The text corrects it.

She is Svarga Lakshmi, but not MahaLakshmi.
