| Jan 8, 2018 at 7:08 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Dr.VineetAggarwal I just checked the Sanskrit chapter, it doesn't even mention their names, it just says "draupadeyāś ca ye pañca babhūvur bharatarṣabha | viśve devagaṇān rājaṃs tān viddhi bharatarṣabha ||" sacred-texts.com/hin/mbs/mbs01061.htm That corresponds to the sentence "And, O bull in Bharata's race, they who became the five sons of Draupadi, those bulls amongst the Bharata princes, were the celestials known as the Viswas." Maybe the verse listing their names is only present in some recensions of the Mahabharata. | |

| Jan 8, 2018 at 6:46 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Dr.VineetAggarwal These are not names of Vishwadevas, but the human names of Draupadi's sons. | |
| Jan 8, 2018 at 6:45 | comment | added | Dr. Vineet Aggarwal | Thanks for the reference. Can you check in the original text for the reference to the 6th Vishwa? | |
