(1) Vaisham[aayan Jee tells only 98 names to Janamejaya, including Yuyutsu, while there should be 101 names if Yuyutsu's name is included.

(2) These names which Vaishampaayan jee told Janamejaya, do not match with the names of Dhritraashtra's sons mentioned in the war time when they were killed by Bheem. See the list of the people killed.

(3) Besides Ganguli's Sanskrit version (Book 1, Ch 61) doesn't give these names at the place where Ganguli has provided them in his English translation version - Book I, Section LXVII (Book 1, Section 67). In place of this the Sanskrit book gives the names Paandav and Vaasudev family's incarnations.

(4) When Dhrishtdyumn told the names of Dhritraashtra's sons who had come to attend Draupadee's Swayamvar, they were like this - Duryodhan, Durvisaha, Durmukh, Dush-pradarshan, Vivinshati, Vikarn, Saha, Dushaasan, Yuyutsu, Vaayuveg, Bheemveg, Ugraayudh, Balaakee, Kanakaayu, and Virochan, Sukundal, Chitrasen, Suvarchaa, and Kanakdhwaj; Nandak, and Baahushaalee, Tuhund, Vikat.
