Untold stories of Mahabharata

There are many unknown stories about Mahabharata which we hadn't seen in Mahabharata tv shows. I have found some unknown facts about the Mahabharata which I am mentioning down here-

• Mahabharata was not known by this name until a long time ago. It was originally known as Jayam then Jaya.The original epic was called Jaya, then it was called Vijaya, then Bharat and finally Mahabharata.
• In the Mahabharata war, 18 points are very important.18 Number Mahabharata Facts- Rishi Ved Vyasa composed Mahabharata Granth which has a total of 18 parvas - Adi Parva, Sabha Parva, Van Parva, Virat Parva, Udyog Parva, Bhishma Parva, Drona Parva, Ashwamedha Parva, Mahaprastasti Parva, Saptik Parva, Stree Parva, Shanti Parva , Anushashan Parva, Mausal Parva, Karna Parva, Shalya Parva, Swargarohan Parva and Ashramvasi Parva.The Bhagavad Gita has 18 chapters and the Mahabharata book also has 18 chapters. Krishna gave knowledge to Arjuna for a total of 18 days.The war lasted only for 18 days. The Gita also has 18 chapters.The army of Kauravas and Pandavas also had a total of 18 Akshohini army of which 11 of Kauravas and 7 Akshohini army of Pandavas.18 were also the main initiators of this war.Only 18 warriors survived in this war.The number 18 in the Mahabharata is either a coincidence or there is a secret hidden in it.
• Karna and Duryodhana had a very close friendship. Once Karna and Duryodhana's wife Bhanumati were playing chess.Bhanumati tried to stand by seeing Duryodhana coming.Karna did not know that Duryodhana was coming.When Bhanumati was trying to stand up,Karna wanted to hold him to help him.But the garland of Bhanumati's beads came in Karna's hand and the garland was that time Duryodhana had also come there.Both of them were afraid to see Duryodhana so that Duryodhana could not suspect anything wrong,But Duryodhana had great faith in Karna and all he said was pick up the beads.
• Apart from the Kauravas, Dhritarashtra had another son named Yuyutsu.Gandhari was unable to serve Dhritarashtra at the time of her pregnancy, that is why the maid named Vaishya served Dhritarashtra in those days.Yuyutsu was the son of Vaishya and Dhritarashtra.Yuyustu was very kind and considerate.
• It is said that Ashwatthama, the son of Guru Dronacharya is still alive. Ashwatthama left a Brahmastra in the war of Mahabharata, killing millions of people. Seeing all this, Krishna ji became angry and cursed Ashwatthama that he would keep wandering on the deserted places for three thousand years covering the sins of all these dead people. Ashwatthama is said to have gone to the desert area after this curse.
• When the Pandavas were living in Varanavat Nagar, one day Kunti made a Brahmin banquet there. After all the people had gone to eat, a Bhil woman came there to eat with her five sons and that night she slept there with her sons.The same night Bhima set the palace on fire and all the Pandavas, including Kunti, went out of the secret way. In the morning, when people saw the dead bodies of the Bhil woman and her five sons, they thought that Kunti and the five Pandavas had died by burning them.
• Before his died, Pandav's father Pandu told his sons to eat his mind, as this would make him intelligent and also gain knowledge.But only Sahadev among them ate his father's mind.When Sahadeva first ate his mind, he came to know about the things that had passed in the world.Information about what is currently happening for the second time. For the third time,he got information about what is going to happen in the future. Sahadeva had become intelligent and knowledgeable by eating his father's mind, he could see the future.That's why Duryodhana went to Sahadeva before the war started and asked him the right time to start the war. Duryodhana is his biggest enemy, despite knowing this to Sahadev, he told Duryodhana the right time to start a war.
