Bhutta fans read epics just to defame protagonists of Mahabharat. A funny claim made by them is that Arjuna passed medical test of eunuch in Virata city hence he was a certified eunuch. Actually Urvashi's curse has been removed in the critical edition thats the reason those morons are claiming it.
The narrative used by them is:-
Virata Parva, Chapter No. 10 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)
Vaishampayana said, ‘Having tested Brihannada in dancing, music and other arts, and on determining that he was a eunuch, the king of Matsya permitted him to enter the quarters of the princess
Here it is mentioned that on determining that Arjuna was a eunuch, they allowed him to enter the quarters of the princess but nowhere it is written that how they determined it then Bhutta fans shouldn't use their own dumb heads to assume that how they determined. May be they could have determined it just by seeing Arjuna's feminine cloths or believing in his words, who knows there may be many reasons, right ? Nowhere written that Arjuna had given any medical test there. ROFL
Also Lord Yama had given a boon to Yudhisthira that whatever forms they will assume, they will be disguised and no one will be able to recognize them
Vana Parva, Chapter No. 298 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)
‘Yudhishthira said, “The twelve years of dwelling in the forest have passed and the
thirteenth has arrived. Wherever we may live, may people not be able to recognize us.”’
Vaishampayana said, ‘The illustrious one granted him that boon. He again comforted Kounteya, for whom truth was his valour. “O descendant of the Bharata lineage! Even if you travel the earth in your own forms, no one in the three worlds will be able to recognize you. O extender of the Kuru lineage! Through my favours, you will spend the thirteenth year, hidden and undetected, in the city of Virata. Whatever form each of you desires to assume in
your mind, that will be the disguise you will adopt according to your wishes.
At last, Arjuna also accepted before Uttara that he was not a eunuch in Virata city
Virata Parva, Chapter No. 40 (Mahabharata CE by BORI, Dr. Bibek Debroy translation)
‘Arjuna replied, “I am telling you truthfully, I have observed this vow for a year, on the
instructions of my elder brother. I have observed brahmacharya. O mighty-armed one! I am not a eunuch, but united with dharma, have followed another. O son of a king! Know that my vow has been completed.
