In part 13 of the Mahabharata Series, I've explored how Bheeshma calculated the extra days Pandavas spent in exile. This marks our entry into Mahabharata dating.
The dating features start with Trigartas and Kauravas stealing Virata's cattle at the end of Pandavas' incognito period. When Arjuna (Vṛhannala) revealed himself via conch and flag, Kauravas claimed he did it early. Bheeshma differed, explaining how Pandavas spent extra months in exile. It shows they followed the 5-year Vedāṅga Yuga where solar days/seasons differ from what Mahabharata researchers use in astronomy simulators. Check it out & share widely!
