Kunti was king Shursen's daughter and sister of Vasudev, the father of Lord Krishna. Hence, she was the aunt of Lord Krishna Vasudev's sister. Her childhood name was Prutha and King Kuntibhoj had adopted her. She was nurtured at Kunti Bhoj's place that is why she became famous in the name of Kunti.
Arjuna had several wives, namely, Draupadi, Subhadra (Krishna's sister), Ulupi and Chitrangada. He had four sons from his wives, namely, Srutakirti, Iravan, Babruvahana and the great warrior prince, Abhimanyu.
Pandavas Mother Kunti Devi Untold Story in Mahabharat
What was Karna's real name?
Vasusena – Original name of Karna, means "born with wealth" as he was born with natural armour and earrings. Suryaputra – Son of Surya. Radheya – son of Radha (Karna's adopted mother).
Subhadra was Arjuna's favorite wife. Subhadra was the sister of Lord Krishna. Thus Arjuna naturally loved her more since she was the sister of his inseparable companion (Arjuna is Nara and Lord Krishna is Narayana). Arjuna's favourite son was Abhimanyu who was his child through Subhadra.
Narada then visited every one of the houses of Krishna's 16,108 wives and was surprised to see Krishna present in every house with his wife in an atmosphere of total domesticity, laughing and joking with his wife and taking care of his children, and helping his wife in household chores.
Top was Sahadeva as mentioned by her when pandavas leave for the forest. Kunti openly tells Draupadi Sahadeva is her most beloved and to take care of him. Even in her speech to Bhima before kichaka vadha Draupadi remembers Kunti's words regarding Sahadeva. Arjuna seems too low, others look decent.
Bhima had three wives — Hidimbi, the Rakshasi sister of Hidimba, Draupadi, who was married to five Pandavas because of Kunti's misunderstanding, and Valandhara, a princess of Kashi Kingdom.
👂 Contrary to common belief, Karna wasn't from a low caste but a Suta (charioteer lineage). His foster father, Adhiratha, was a prince and friend of King Dhritarashtra. Karna received education from Dronacharya, Kripacharya, and Parashurama, although Drona denied him Brahmastra knowledge.
Rukmini is traditionally considered to be the favourite and the primary wife of Krishna, the latter's partiality towards her often provoking the ire of his second consort of Satyabhama.
Saraswati was both the daughter and the wife of the god Brahma. According to Hindu mythology, Saraswati helped Brahma create the universe, and all creatures were born from their union.
Polygyny was sanctioned by the Manusmriti among members of the dvija (twice-born) varnas: Brahmins were allowed to have up to four wives, Kshatriyas could have three wives, and the Vaishyas could have two wives; the Shudras, however, were permitted to have only one wife.
In Mrityunjaya, Vrushali is portrayed as Karna's childhood companion and later his first wife, chosen by Adhiratha. She is described as wise, devout, and devoted to her husband. Following the deaths of Karna and their sons, she ends her life on his funeral pyre, symbolising her loyalty and grief.
Who was more beautiful subhadra or draupadi? Draupadi. It was said that she was more beautiful woman of that era(besides Rukmini who is Maha Lakshmi herself). Her beauty is equal to goddess.
Krishna advised her to pray to the sun god, Surya. Draupadi observed a fast and performed rigorous penance. Pleased by her devotion, Surya granted her a boon, which enabled her to control the vessel's power, allowing food to be prepared even during her menstrual cycle.
The killing of Abhimanyu is the most painful chapter of the Mahabharata, one that never stops hurting. My eyes have welled up everytime i have watched the episodes depicting his death.
Gandhari along with her husband Dhritarashtra, brother-in-law Vidura and sister-in-law Kunti, left Hastinapur about 15 years after the war to seek penance. She is said to have died in the Himalayas in a forest fire along with Dhritarashtra, Vidura and Kunti and attained moksha.
Radha was nine months older than Krishna. She didn't open her eyes until Krishna himself in his child form appeared in front of her. "Ashtasakhis" (translated to eight friends) are the integral part of Radha's childhood and youth.
