Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata Part C

Yudi was so sad about being exiled to forest crying to the Brahmin, and he sounds afraid of starving or being eaten by a wild animal. He is supposed to be a KING!!! The Brahmin tells him to call the SUN God who give him a copper pot with never ending food.

****They still don’t know that Karna is the SUN god’s kid and their half-brother. I think the sun god should tell them too bad so sad because you have been mean to my kid
Indra and Gandiva the special bow – expand the fight between him and the huntsman/Shiva

Urvashi cursed Arjuna barely knowing him just because he didn’t like her back, but he was there with his dad and after being gifted with celestial weapons and completing many austerities. “wilt for a season live unregarded among women as a dancer and musician.” WTH does that mean?

The evil giant women of Hiranyapura could be sirens

****Say What??!! Hanuman and Bhima are half-brothers? That Wind God is a busy guy. Way cool that he tells Bhima of his adventures with Rama, I didn’t know that one story knew of the other.

****Krita Yuga – a story of when there was always inherit goodness, no austerities needed to be completed. Kali Yuga, the last which has ¼ of virtue religious acts had a contrary effect – that is like the some of the Jataka tales I have read where the Bodhisattva explains what will happen if the next person performs the act

****Woah! Dury is favored by the daityas and danavas which Arjuna beat down as they were enemies of Indra his Dad.

Hmmm, Indra trading a special dart for Karna’s golden armor and invincible earrings

****Riddles?! Oh my goodness, how could he remember each one spoken in four at a time? What if he hadn’t asked for his brother’s to be restored?

****A story of the Pandavas in their disguises?

****The Dark Princess Draupadi – is called that because she must be in hiding and disguise, but the fact that she wanted to watch Prince Kichaka’s death shows that there is a sinister side. She always wants revenge. Story?

Dury did not know that Krishna was the divine being – Vishnu – do the Pandavas, Arjuna, know?

****So Kunti finally tells Karna he is her son. It is too late though. He thinks that Dury has befriended him, but in reality it is only because he saw that Karna is a good warrior. Something should be done with Karna’s story. Change it, expand it…?

****What?! Bhishma has to lead the Kaurava army in the fight against the Pandavas? He has to be torn over this!

Why is Ghatotkacha appearing as Hanuman? Yes it is Arjuna’s son appearing as Arjuna’s half-brother, but why?

Huh, Yuyutsu switched sides to the Pandavas.

****Arjuna wanting to give up on battle because of the upcoming destruction. Krishna urges him on because of reincarnation. Can I make this into laments terms?

Dury keeps asking Bhishma to give up his main spot to Karna, but Bhishma says he will lead the fight knowing Dury’s cause is dumb and a losing battle. This seems asinine.
