Explanation

Draupadi's twin brother in the Mahabharata was Dhristadyumna, born from the same sacrificial fire as Draupadi. He was the commander of the Pandava army and was destined to kill Dronacharya. Drupada was their father, not brother, while Parikshit and Ikshvaku are from different lineages entirely.
