2. pAncajanyaM hriShikEShO, ? dEvadattaM dhananjayaha :-)
3. The one that changes sides at the beginning of war (name forgotten) when Yudhistira asks and states that people can change sides if they wished.
4. Aswatthama (Dying duryOdhana crowns him at the last moment)
5. Shalya (pampered on the way to Pandava camp by duryOdhana)
7. Does not fight with ladies or changed sex (indirectly implying his born killer), Karna should not fight when he fights etc (not just one condition)
8. Not sure but could be abhimanyu

[Just my nostalgia here... about Yudhistira... how dearly he cligs to Dharma throughout his life even when he loses money, kingdom, family, brothers, wife and everything! Yato dharma stathO jayaha]

Quiz solved.

Aewen ---- all are correct
Charvaka --- #4 is Ashvatthaama
AZ --------- #2 is Yuyutsu, Dhritarashtra's son through a non-Kshatriya woman.
# 7 Main condition is not to kill Pandavas
# 8 Not Abhimanyu, it's Satyaki.
