    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.
