  1. Yudhisthira became yuvraj of Hastinapur just before Lakshagrah incident.

  2. After false news of Yudhisthira's death in Lakshagrah incident, Duryodhan became yuvraj of Hastinapur. But when Yudhisthira found alive in Draupadi svyamvar, he was appointed as the king of Indraprastha.

  3. He became Samrat after Rajsuya yajna.

  4. Later he lost his kingdom in dhyut-krida to Duryodhan and got 12+1 year exile. After Mahabharata war, he became the king of Hastinapur.

  5. Later, he performed many yajna and became Samrat.

  • Thanks YDS. Do you know the exact duration between first Rajasuya to exile. Also duration between finish of exile to start of war. Basically I need to know exact duration from first Rajasuya to start of war.
