Is it okay if I make this a Game of the Week (GOTW)?😳

This game got really famous in NDTV Ramayan Forum, so I wanted to play a Mahabharat Antiakshari Game too. Initially, I started one in the KHMK Forum, but I did not get much responses due to inactivity, so I was hoping I would get more responses here, seeing as it is a devoted forum dedicated to Shri Krishna😊.

Jai Shri Krishna!

How many of you like Antiakshari? Wouldn't it be interesting if we had a Mahabharata Antiakshari? Here are the rules...

I will start with a name/place/object from the Epic tale Mahabharata or Krishna Leela, and the last letter of that name/place/object has to be the first letter of the word for the next player. You can use names of Gods as words also.

For example...

My word: Shri Krishna: protagonist of Mahabharata, son of Devaki and Vasudev, and foster son of Nand and Yashoda.

Next: A

And the next person will have to give a name that starts with the letter A. Also, you will have to explain your word with a few phrases or sentences like I did above; nothing extravagant or detailed; just a few words to describe your world.

The Epic Tale of Mahabharata/Krishna Leela is large, so please try not to repeat words, but if it is impossible to come up with any more words for a particular letter, then you can repeat a word, but the definition must be different.

Please participate!😃

For those of you who do not know how to play this game, I will type here the words already posted in the KHMK game. I am closing the game there, so that it can continue here.😊

rajnish_here: A for arjun, next D
Me: Yay, glad to see someone participating!Where did you get D by the way? Doesn''t Arjun end in N?

Anyway, if the next letter is D, then my word is Draupadi: daughter of Agni and also the beloved wife of the Pandavas. (with the next letter being I)

But if the next letter is N, my word is Narayana, whom Shri Krishna was an avatar of. (with the next letter being A)

rajnish_here: A for Anga- the kingdome ruled by karna, next is A🥳

Me: Abhimanyu: the strong son of Arjuna and Subhadra; beloved nephew of Shri Krishna and Balarama, husband of Uttara and Sesirekha, father of Paraikshith Kumar, and grandfather of Janmejaya. He was killed in the Chandravyuha by the Kauravas.

Next: U

(It seems like we're the only ones playing.😆)

Mallika113: Good going guys! I am not that familiar with Mahabharat names and stuff! Otherwise, I would participate!
shyam.rathi: U:

Uttar is the name of the son of King Virata. He was killed on the first day of the Kurukshetra war..

Next: R

desichica: Ranchod Rai: another name for Lord Krishna after asking ppl of Mathura to leave due to Jarasandh's constant attacks!!!!!

Next letter I

This is what happened so far in the KHMK Forum, so please continue the game from here. So the next letter, as per Suniti's latest reply, is I. So please give the name of a person/place/object from the life story of Shri Krishna.😊

Iravati - wife of Parikshit, mother of Janamejaya

Ti - meaning next word should start with the sylable Ti (not Ta or Tu or Tri or...) Rule I suggest here - follow Indian vernacular rules, and start the next word with the last syllable, not merely the last letter. If the word ends in a staccato, then any vowel can be used following the last consonant.

Lakshman - son of Duryodhan. Killed by Abhimanyu on day 13.

N. You can use it with any vowel, since it has a staccato ending. (Note his sister, Lakshmanaa, who was abducted and married to Samba, would end with 'NA')
