The sons of Draupadi

द्रौपदेय · draupadeya

Draupadi's five sons, one by each Pandava

All five lived through the war and died the night after it.

Draupadi bore one son to each husband: Prativindhya to Yudhishthira, Sutasoma to Bhima, Shrutakarma to Arjuna, Shatanika to Nakula and Shrutasena to Sahadeva. All five fought at Kurukshetra as great chariot-warriors. After the final victory Ashvatthama crept into the sleeping camp and killed them, thinking, in some tellings, that they were their fathers.
