in that novel lakshmila - the eternal love story
sita and urmila had exact nine months of age difference
urmila and mandavi are born on the same day just hours apart
shrutakirti was exactly a year younger than the cousins
now coming to
what have you mentioned about the cousins
in my opinion
in that era letters reach take time of few days
considering
a baby is born after that they will give the news to the family through letter
it might take few days
then
another baby is born
so in that also
there is slight age difference between the two babies
might be few days
mandavi was elder than urmila
Yes,,I also feel same,,, confusion is there bcz nothing is given abt their birth order actually in VR,and just given in later retellings in different versions,,and there r some other stories in eastern versions too abt sisters,,so just shared it here...many has that mandvi is elder,,many has that both same ages,,many has that no clarity as urmila was born but revived later,,and mandvi born & msg given to janak,, Kushadhwaj didn't had separate kingdom i guess,,he was in mithila only that time,,sandesh here means just informing may be by maids or sevaks,,,ki birth hua hai,,dusre rajya se letter aaya aisa wala nahi may be,,,pata nahi exactly to....that's why in series also u find sometimes even urmi calls mandvi by name and not didi,,and mandvi mostly calls her by name,,par kabhi kabhi she says didi....ab yeh sisters ko dikhate hi bahut kam hai,, isliye pattern observation is also difficult 😂😅...
Baki mein bhi mainly yahi believe karti hu ki mandvi is elder than urmila....yeh to interesting tha isliye share Kiya😊...
Even u know such thing is there between Sumitra & Kaikeyi,,,VR sometimes say Kaikey is youngest,,Dashrath ne bhi paayas distribution ke time second no. Par Sumitra ko diya tha,,,fir Kaikeyi ko,,so thoda bahut unclear rehta hai,,order of elder to younger is very clearly written only for Ram & brothers,,Ram Bharat Lakshman Shatrughna....😊✨
