Is Pandu's last wish, not to burn his body but eat it away, real? Mahabharata

5 points | Post submitted by jay 1457 days ago | 2 comments | viewed 1181 times

On Wikipedia, [now its removed] it is given that Pandu asks his sons to eat his flesh and only Sahadeva does so because of which he gains ability to see the future but Krishna asks him not to reveal anything to anyone.

I have heard other stories for the same but with minor variations.

So,

  1. Is this real? Are there any references to this?

  2. Eating human flesh and that too your own father's wouldn't be a sin?

    No . There's no mention of this in any authentic editions of mahabharat
