This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Shinde Sweety Hi Jyoti.
As regards Q 1 : You will find your answer in chapter 9. I agree that your claim is a popular-ised event in KMG's English translation, in movies and in TV serials. The same is , however, refuted in BORI's critical edition.

I have written the event from a more logical point, which gets discussed in chapter 9's conversation. Not adding spoilers here.
The same is also explained in detail in Exploring myths chapter.
Q 2: Again, there is a detailed explanation provided in 'Exploring Myths' towards end of the book.
Thank you for your interest. I hope your queries get answered as you progress across the book.
