    Who is the mother barbarik khatu shyam morvi or ahilaya, I lision barbarik father name bhim it is correct or no ?


  2. It is strange that Bhima married Sisupala’s sister, since Sisupala was a cousin of Krishna and the Pandavas. His mother and Kunti were sisters and Vasudeva was their brother. So that makes Sisupala a cousin-brother of Pandavas and this means Bhima married his cousin-sister! Even more complicated is that Nakula married the princess of Chedi, which I am presuming is daughter of Sisupala. Therefore, Bhima became an uncle of Nakula?!?!
