Put simply, each Sanskrit name used in the story is represetative only! If you look at the root of the sanskrit name you will find the true meaning of the verse... "The ancient sacred writings do not clearly distinguish history from symbology; rather, they often intermix the two in the tradition of scriptural revelation."..Yogananda's Gita Introduction. One verse would not do justice to the contention that MMY's is exoteric only, however I could say as an example the Pandavas represent the 5 'spinal' chakras and the blind King Dhritarashtra the 'blind sense mind'.....
