Why “pandavas” is a great word
PANDAVAS — [Noun] The five acknowledged sons of Pandu—Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva—who are the central heroes of the Indian epic Mahabharata. From Sanskrit पाण्डव (Pāṇḍava), a patronymic derived from the name of their father, Pandu, meaning 'descendants or sons of Pandu'. Unlike the "Kauravas" (which specifically denotes their hundred paternal cousins and antagonists) or the "Kurus" (which refers to the entire dynastic clan), the Pandavas are the fivefold heart of the heroic struggle. They are the five fingers of a righteous fist: the gambler's honor, the raw strength, the divine archer, and the flawless twins—a constellation of virtues too perfect to share a kingdom, and thus destined to burn one down. Heroes are often a collective noun for tragedy.
