In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the Upapandavas (उपपाण्डव, lit. ''junior Pandavas''), also known as Pandavaputras (पाण्डवपुत्र, lit. ''sons of Pandavas'') or Panchakumaras (पञ्चकुमार, lit. ''five sons'') are the five sons born to Draupadi from each of the five Pandavas. They are Prativindhya, Shatanika, Sutasoma, Shrutasena and Shrutakarma. They fought the battle on the side of the Pandavas, but not much is said in the Mahabharata about the brothers except for fleeting mentions during the battle. However all five of them were killed by Ashwathama on the night of the last day of the war. ==Prativindhya== Prativindhya (प्रतिविन्ध्य, lit. ''towards hunter'' or ''towards Vindhya'') or Shrutavindhya (श्रुतविन्ध्य, lit. ''related to the Buddhi'') was born to Yudhishthira and Draupadi and was the eldest of the Upapandavas. Presumably, he was the crown prince. He was left in Ekachakrapura when he was a baby and later token-battled his uncle Arjuna during Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yajna campaign. Some folklore holds him as the Avatar of Chitraratha the Gandharva. During the infamous game of dice, his mother Draupadi asked that he and his brothers be never referred to as the children of slaves; his bloodright was hence restored. In the Puranas, there is some mention of his son, Yaudheya. However, in the Mahabharata, Yaudheya was referred to as a son of Yudhishthira through Devika. Some Indians believe that Yaudheya founded the Yaudheya dynasty. That tribe's coins from 1st century AD reveals they believed they were descended from Yudhishthira just as the Malavas were thought to be Bhima's descendants and Arjunayanas were thought to be Arjuna's descendants. In the Indonesian Mahabharata, Prativindhya's son Kalimshada succeeds Dhritarashtra as King of Hastinapur and marries a princess from Kuntibhoja's family. His sister's son Vajra inherits Indraprastha; in this story, Parikshit's line is based at Kaushambi where we encounter them at dawn of Buddhist period. It is not clear whether Prativindhya or Kalimshada are the king in this version. During the Kurukshetra war, he would be more than twenty-four years old (extrapolating from his age during the Rajasyua incident). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Upapandavas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
