Is it Bhurishrava again? He had Yup sthambha as his Banner. I think itscalled called Vedi right?

No, yūpa is the upright pole where the sacrificial animal is tied, while vedi is each of the three altars where the fires are maintained.

Correct! Droṇa's flag had a sacrificial altar on it, as well as a kamaṇḍalu pot and a bow.

34. Who was known as Mṛdaṅgaketu?

You are looking at Droṇaparvan 131.13, right? Yuyudhāna Sātyaki does not address Somadatta as Mṛdaṅgaketu there. He says to Somadatta, "That Mṛdaṅgaketu's energy has slain you already, and in battle you will perish along with Karṇa and Saubala."

Kṛṣṇā Draupadī is ready to help you with Mṛdaṅgaketu's identity at Āraṇyakaparvan 254.6.

Yudhisthira. He had two drums on his Banner, Nanda and Upananda.
