Re: Quiz for Friday
I only the answer to 7.
Damayanthi recognizes nala becuase he is the only human. Devthas dont sweat, dont blink, nor do their feet touch earth.

Your Damayanti answer is correct.
Also, yes, Subhadra is Krishna's half-sister. They have a common father (Vasudeva) but their mothers are different - Devaki and Rohini.

"kaaLindi" is another name for the river yamuna.

Vaali and Kaartaa-veeryaarjuna (who was the first king that Parasurama killed). Vaali pinned Raavana under his arm as he flew from ocean to ocean to do his sandhyavandanam, whereas Kaartaveerarjuna held Raavana in a cage like an animal to humor his women during a hunting expedition.
