Parikshit was still in Uttara's womb when the war was over. Thereafter, he was crowned king when he was hardly 13 years old. And Krishna has already concluded his Avataric role before that. So we can guess after the MB war, Krishna and the Pandavas continued to live for only about 14 years max.

Badri, were the "years" same as what we understand as years today ? I mean does it mean 11,000 ratations of earth around itself ? It is just a POETIC-EXAGGERATION... to mean...

... "Each year's glory is worth of Thousand Years Accomplishments or Achievements."

According to Valmiki .. the Emperor Dasaratha is said to have ruled for 60,000 years... and...that...

...He possessed 60,000 wives.!.. How both can be possible? Incredible.!

So all these mean.... that...

(1) Dasaratha ruled for 60 years and had 60 wives.

(2) Rama ruled for just 11 years.

(3) Krishna lived 14 years after war.
