Quiz Finals (on Ramayana and Mahabharata) @ Kalakriti 2014
1) Yudhisthira’s chariot was always 4 inches above the
ground. This was because in spite of being a mere mortal,

he always followed the dharma. But after a certain
incident it touched the ground. On account of what

mistake on the part of Yudhisthira did this occur?

Explain fully. No part points.
During the battle , he lied to Dronacharya that
Ashvattama (the elephant) had died. Drona as a
result sat in meditation and was slain by
Dhristadveemana.
2) The word Danda in Samskrtam means punishment.

Incidentally Rama spent a considerable time of his exile in the

Dandaka vana which literal translation gives the meaning “The

cursed jungle”. Why was this jungle called Dandaka and explain

the incident behind it.
Dandan, a king molested the daughter of

Sukracharya. In anger, Sukracharya gave a curse that
the kingdom would be reduced to ashes. The place
destroyed by Sukracharya's curse was the Dandaka
vana. When Rama went to Dandaka vana during his
period of exile, the curse of thse jungle was

completely removed.
3) During the end of the 13th year of

incognito, the Kauravas attacked the kingdom of
Virata suspecting that Pandavas were in
incognito in that kingdom. Which incident made
them suspect Pandava presence in the kingdom
of Virata?
The news of the death of Kichaka, brother- in- law
of the Virata king supposedly killed by a gandharva

for misbehaving with his wife reached the Kauravas.
They rightly suspected that the woman in question
was Draupadi and it was Bhima who had killed
Kichaka
4) Why did Janamejaya perform the
snake- sacrifice?
Parikshit, father of Janamejaya was killed by the
snake- chieftain , Takshak. Janamejaya thus bore a
deep grudge toward serpents and decided to conduct
a serpent sacrifice which would wipe out all the living
serpents.
5) Why did Ganges drown seven of
her sons?
The eight vasus led by Prabhas stole the cow Kamadhenu from
Vasistha on the insistence of their wives. As a result Vasistha

cursed them to be born in the world of men. Upon appealing to

the sage, their curse was mitigated. Seven of them would die as
soon as they would be born but Prabhas would lead a long life.
As a result of the curse, Ganges drowned her seven sons .
Prabhas became Bhisma.
6) The four sons of Dasaratha were very close and
affectionate towards each other another.

Interestingly, though Lakshmana and Shathrugna
were twins, Lakshmana was more attached to Rama
and similarly Shatrugna to Bharatha. What was the
reason for this?
Kausalya and Kaikeyi gave one portion of their
divine Payasam each to Sumitra . Lakshmana was
born out of the part given by Kausalya and thus
was a part of the atma of Rama.

Similarly, Shatrugna was a part of atma of
Bharatha. Hence the special closeness between

the two sets of brothers.
