I did not know this! Thanks for sharing.

I wonder whether the word is used this way in Bengali due to its literal meaning or due to Yuyudhāna's behaviour in Droṇaparvan, where he kills disabled Bhūriśravas and tries to kill Dhṛṣṭadyumna to the detriment of his own side in the war.

Probably a combination of both 🤣

Correct! Yudhiṣṭhira's son Prativindhya was Yaudhiṣṭhira.

27. Who was known as Bhaimaseni?

Correct! Bhīmasena's sons Sutasoma and Ghaṭotkaca are both called Bhaimaseni in the text.

There are 4 😆

Iravan, Babhruvahana, Abhimanyu, Shrutakirti

Correct! Three of Arjuna's four sons are called Ārjuni in the text: Irāvat, Abhimanyu, and Śrutakīrti. Babhruvāhana could be called Ārjuni, but isn't.

29. Who was known as Sāhadevi?

Correct! Sahadeva's son was Sāhadevi, and where this patronymic appears in Bhīṣmaparvan, the character's name is Śrutakarman.

Two traditions coexist in the text regarding Kṛṣṇā Draupadī's sons: (1) Sahadeva's son was Śrutakarman and Arjuna's son was Śrutakīrti; (2) Arjuna's son was Śrutakarman and Sahadeva's son was Śrutasena.

30. Who was known as Yūpaketu?

You said earlier Ketu means flag. I might be way incorrect but I think I read on Twitter about Vedic Yupa sthambhas. Yupa means pole? So some one with flag having pole symbol?

Bhurishrava, the one with sacrificial altar on his Banner.

Does ketana means anything related to flag or banner?
