Study Notes

The Mahabharata is an epic that tells the story of the Kurukshetra War, a battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
The Mahabharata has been told and retold for ages and is sure to have some poetic licenses and communication distortions for an epic of this large proportion and size.
Still, there are many lesser-known facts from The Mahabharata that you will be amazed to know. I highly recommend reading the historicity of Mahabharata to get an insight into the factual aspects of the great epic.
One of the lesser-known facts is that the youngest Pandava, Sahdev had the power to see into the future.
Duryodhana’s real name was Suyodhana and the rest of the Kaurava clan was Sushaasana, Suchala, and so on.
Vedvyas is not a name but a post given to those who had knowledge of Vedas.
There were 27 Vedvyas before Krishnadweepayan.
Krishnadweepayan was the 28th Vedvyas, who was given this name because he had a wheatish skin color like Lord Krishna and he was born on an island.
Mahabharata is narrated by Vedvyas and was written by Lord Ganesha.
Vikarna and Yuyutsu did not approve of Duryodhana’s actions and had actually protested against Draupadi being staked in the game of dice.
Interestingly, Vikarna was the third son of Gandhari and Dhritarashtra –also the third most reputable of Kauravas after Duryodhana and Dussasana.
