may be they had later u know late birth it wasn’t uncommon back then , maybe abhi was elder and they all r younger, and there’s a reason y they r called upapandavas who resembled their fathers in looks, that explains y abhi married first , anyway many says arjun exile s 13 months not 12 years.
And bheem had done soma yagna as he wished to have a child with Draupadi and that’s y he was called sutasoma, and sruthakirthi arjun son was named after his jaitra yatra.
and their deaths on that night was the reason y pandavas chased Ashwathama and we know he pointed brmhastra to uttara womb after that and krishna cursed him to live with a pain eternally.
that makes them they r pretty much children but did fought bravely for their mother and fathers, no wonder they r not on front line in the Kurukshetra like abhi because they were pretty much children. And pandavas children with other woman r also there, but they weren’t mentioned in detail but they were there. But abhi being the eldest inherited the throne this was rule back then. this s the only possibility y prativindhya s not crown prince, but upapandavas r panchali children only, they stayed in panchal when their parents went to forest, they mostly juggled between panchal and dwaraka.
duryodhan in battle clearly says in a conversation pandavas r there subhara putr s there and panchali 5 sons r there.they resembled their fathers interms of looks to an extent Ashwathama killed them thinking they r pandavas, ofcourse it was night time but resemblance was quite clear, during Draupadi and sayabhama talk satya assures Draupadi saying don’t worry about ur children subhadra s taking care of them like her own.
after their death Yudhishtir says to nakul go and call the unfortunate mother. Don’t believe all southern r northern version not all r authentic, I don’t know about fertility one but Draupadi s on of panchkanya ( eternal virgins)
the woman who lost everything and suffered so much but stood with dignity and grace.
the woman who admire and love most and I know u love her too, but whatever I heard r read they r her children only, i am keeping myself away from this modern versions and analysis, the more i am hearing everything s looking like interpolation and lies.
ofcourse krishna s also another one who admire most apart from Draupadi.
