    Though 100 sons were there but Duryodhan and Dushasan got the maximum coverage.
    Vikarna was another one amongst them ,known for his righteous nature.He was the only one in entire Kuru Rajya sabha who had objected to Draupadi's insult in the dice game and warned Duryodhan of very bad consequences.Even before war he told Duryodhan not to fight a losing battle and make peace with Pandav.
    Yuyutsu was another one,he was the only person who switched over to Pandav camp just before the war began ,on hearing Krishna's words that any one who felt he should change the side they are free to do so.

    I read Mahabharata, there is no mention of Vikrana, anyways Yuyutsu is also among the only 10 warriors who survived. I dont know why people count Vrishiketh (Last son of Karna)and Rukmani (The brother in law of Krishna) was the survival of battle because these guys dint take part in war only.

    and Aswin if you are not interested plzz leave this group

    Yuyutsu IS NOT THE SON OF GANDHARI BUT WAS THE SON OF A PALACE MAID WHO Dhritrashtra impregnated.

    in the link given above i found all the names.It took quite a time even to read them.wonder how the siblings and parents remembered one another's names.
    It is said that 100 sons of blind and blindfolded parents represent hundred desires,dreams and ambitions etc borne out of blinded mind and intellect.
    Duryodhan means one who is not easy to fight and he represented ego.
    Dushshashan means one who is difficult to control.

    Its wonderful to be a part of such a forum where people can get share information.Very rightly as you said the names also represent so much insight to the personalities of the parents.

    To add few more things to namitha's posting

    dharmar - the dharm within us
    bheem - the physical strength we posses
    arjun - the concentration we have
    nakul - the controlled aggression we have
    sahadev - the "Sastra Sambrathyam" we look into
    krishna - the God within ourselves "antharyami"
    krukshetra - our body
    krukshetra war - happening within us between the above characters and the other 100 evil brothers
    dhritrashtra - our strong desire (thatz why we have blind spot)
    sanjaya - our blessed soul with God's visionary

    This is my thinking, I am willing to talk about it in case of any questions.

    Thanks people,
    Mohan M.
