What is the Mahabharata story about ?

Yudhistir had another wife named Devika. She was the daughter of Govasana of the Saivya tribe. Her son was Yaudheya.

Draupadi was asked 3 times by Duryodhan to come to the court after her husbands lost her in dicing. Draupadi kept denying.

Shikhandi had a son named Kshatradeva. Shikhandi was married to a Dasrana princess.
