Hats off to you Vrish. Yes. Raja Ramchandra. Edited by ShivangBuch - 12 years ago

Brilliant Shivang and Aishu . 👏

Thanks Varaali. Even I was solving a puzzle set by Vrish with different alphabets assigned.😃 He was so involved in this question that he gave me counter home assignment which brought about sequence of solving process and final answer wonderfully well in front of all in the form of one to one notations for each character and kingdom. I am wondering how did he miss to assign the names/notations/symbols/alphabets to two different wars.😊 Brilliant. Edited by ShivangBuch - 12 years ago

Thanks.  Actually, I was initially thinking Rama but I was stuck on Shatrughan being IB, but then none of Krishna's kinsmen was responsible for the war, and I couldn't identify any brother of Rama who ruled either Hastinapur nor Anga.  After you bumped Jarasandha, I thought of Bharat & Gandhara, which gave me my answer.  Actually, re-reading it, you had worded Bharat's role correctly: it's I who misinterpreted it as meaning that his lineage implied that he too ruled.

Exactly. That's why we actually used the words - 'ruled by my brother's lineage' and later I clarified 'IB lineage' rather than 'ruled by my brother' or IB because it was debatable whether we can call brother to have actually formally ruled Gandhara or any city part of it.

 I am a really strange character

• Five of my grandsons were killed by three of my sons 😭
• One of my nephews insulted my sons @ a major public event after a brief alliance, while another 2 of them later joined in a war against them 
• My mother-in-law's sister was reborn as the sister of my daughter-in-law 😆

I am?

Madri?
