- Krpacarya later became a great general like Dronacarya, and his sister was married to Dronacarya
- Krsna and Yogamaya appeared as brother and sister - the Supreme Powerful and the supreme power. Although there is no clear distinction between the Powerful and the power, power is always subordinate to the Powerful
