² See also my “*Political History*,” pp. 95, 96; *Journal of the Department of Letters* (Calcutta University), Vol. IX; and the *Early History of the Vaishṇava Sect*, second edition, pp. 43-45. Also *Mbh.*, I, 103, 9-10; 105, 37-38; Winternitz in *JRAS*, 1897, 755 ff; Āpastamba ii. 27. 3; Bṛihaspati, xxvii. It is to be noted that in spite of the alleged family custom in the Pāṇḍu line no other wife except Draupadī was shared by the Pāṇḍava brothers, and their children had no common wife. In the epic ‘Kuru’ and ‘Pāṇḍu’ no doubt often find separate mention. In a similar way historians distinguish between the related houses of ‘Plantagenet,’ ‘York’ and ‘Lancaster’; ‘Capet,’ ‘Valois,’ ‘Bourbon’ and ‘Orleans’; ‘Chaulukya’ and ‘Vāghela.’
