Seriously 😆. Why does skt keeps repeating the same mistake. Pick a wonderful krishna and then pick a bad arjuna . There are many actors who could have easily replaced shaheer and kinshuk. Shaheer has already ruined arjuna. Now i don't know what kinshuk will do.

Not always though

Suryaputra Karna was reverse of this trend. Nevi was good as Arjun but the guy who played Krishna was pathetic. In fact I never called him Krishna used to call him Paundrik can't call him Krishna

Anyway, RK's MB will be hugely distorted.

Maybe Radha n Draupadi would be bffs

Please do not try to fit rationality or logic in any number given in Mahabharat.

The number of 1. 6 billion given there is greater than the 1.3 billion population of India we have today.

Does anyone really think one few hundred sqkm big kurukshetra can accomodate men more than the entire population of India. Even if they are standing hugging each other..

The numbers in the epic have no sense or logic, because the epic is a poem. The poems are allegorical and metaphorical and written in hyperbole. That is why they are called poems.

We have had two world wars with less people than the one mentioned in the epic and they were fought over two big continents

By the way, we were waiting for you. Lot's of new topics for discussion in the other thread

Please share your thoughts on those

I am not giving logic. I just said the same thing. 1 billion deaths is impossible at that era

Sorry if I sounded rude.

But what I was saying is you should completely disregard any number mentioned in the epic. Or even try to derive it logically. Like based on Yudhishtir's number using some.formula to extrapolate another number etc.

You should only stick to obvious... And leave the rest as an unknown

So 5 Pandavas Krishna Kritaverma Satyaki Yuyutsu Ashwatthama Sanjaya survived in named warriors and an unknown number of unnamed soldiers that is all.

Any kind of formula, if you try to use would give a wrong result because the formula would be right but the values you use the formula on are wrong.

And Radha will also be present in every occasion there.

Dear Lord.

Radha Krishna MBh will be distorted?

Radha herself is the biggest distortion. She is the biggest, most wildly succesful Krishna fan fiction ever!!!

Radha was a 14th century creation. She doesn't exist in MBh or Harivamsa or Bhagavatham.

What about the 18 akshauni number? It has been repeatedly used. Would that represent the actual number?

I think Radha was first used in Gita Govinda by Jayadev

Radha will support Draupadi's demand for war.

She might actually somehow be present in Dyut Sabha and would be the one to call Krishna to save Draupadi

@Bold I think I would give that award to Sudama.

Is he mentioned in any ancient texts? Plus he is a complete Bhakt of Krishna

I do want to know about Radha's origin though
