Rationality surely says it's exaggeration. 18 akshauhinis = 218,700×18=3,936,600 including animals.


We know the key survivors but it's difficult to figure out how many soldiers and animals survived since not much is available in that domain.

Using the 40x exaggeration, no. of survivors boils down to 6000. Interesting topic for discussion.

Even if we say that everyone died still the number of deaths would be 4 million, 1 billion 660 million can never be a possibility, in fact I did a wrong calculation last time, 1 billion 660 million would be 415 times of 4 million (number participated in the war) if we double the count to include the saarthis still only 8 million people died, the number given in StriParva is 200 times of even this number

He's researching and reading a lot for his podcast on the topic After the War of Mahabharat.

Did he share any source though?

The number could be true, but somehow I can't conclude it to be so high at a time when population was so less

Even I calculated it wrong then. 😆

Considering that there's a consistency in the exaggerations in both the death and the survivor count, we can conclude that 578 people survived.🤔

They should have brought new actors for Krishna and Balram, it's not some adult


Aside are we into Mahabharata era so soon? The last episodes were of Krishna marriage with Satyabhama and Jamvanti

Sumedh is a wonderful actor. And so is srj. I will wait to see how kinshuk fares. Shaheer was a big let down. A bad choice. O hope skt had choosen a better arjuna this time around.

Though i don't see a need to introduce mb track in show that is titled radha Krishna.

This is going to be another heavily distorted MB.

Shaheer was indeed a huge let down.

Sumedh is good but IMO he doesn't fit the part of adult Krishna...that too delivering Geeta Saar.


Kinshuk always reminds me of Sanju...though he looks nothing like his younger self. 😆

Yudhisthira told Dhritarashtra the no. of casualties and the no. of survivors.

Casualties were exaggerated almost 415 times like you calculated. I assumed that the same exaggeration was applied to the survivors as well.
