Mahabharata trivia

1) What is the name of Arjuna's conch?

2) How could Jayadratha stop the 4 Pandavas from entering the vyuha, and following Abhimanyu?

3) What is the name of the Asura that Agastya digests for wealth?

1) Devadatta (?)

2) The Pandavas catch him and half-shave his head, moustache because he tried to "do a Ravana" with Draupadi. He does a penance and asks for the boon of vanquishing the Pandavas. That is denied to him. So he gets a qualified boon of being able to withhold the Pandavas if Arjuna is not there. And that is what happens on that fateful day of Abhimany's death.

3) Kuberasura (???) ;-)

Impressive 2/3. The one you got wrong is 'vatapi jeernobava'.
