King Yuvanashva's 'Mpreg' in Mahabharata: Indra Feeds Baby with Divine Thumb Milk

• Mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik shared a lesser-known Mahabharata story of King Yuvanashva's male pregnancy.
• Yuvanashva drank a sacred liquid (charu) meant for his wife, resulting in his pregnancy.
• Gods, either Indra or Ashwin Kumars, helped deliver baby Mandhata from the king's thigh.
• When Mandhata cried for milk, Lord Indra cut his thumb, which contained divine milk, to feed the infant.
• Pattanaik suggests babies still suck thumbs hoping for Indra's milk; social media reacted with humor and praise for ancient texts.
