Amba is brought back to be the destroyer of Bhishma as once
promised to her by her vows. Now, Shikhandin in the lead and Bhishma won’t
fight so Arjuna is able to wound him enough to guarantee death. He still pleads
with Dury to end war, but Dury refuses.
****Drona takes over place instead of Karna?? Why, Dury has wanted
Karna to take over this whole time, I do not understand.
Eww, Arjuna’s son Abhimanyu dies a gruesome death, but due to
Krishna’s trickiness Arjuna found Jaya and got revenge
Awe, Bhima’s son Ghatotkacha died by Indra’s special dart given to
Karna
****Psyching out Drona by killing an elephant of the same name as
his son
****Bhima seriously drank Duhsasana's blood!
Woah!!! Arjuna actually beheaded Karna with his arrow after
Krishna reminds him of his misgivings of not being manly
****Drona’s son throws himself into a fire to appease and worship
Shiva who was protecting the Pandava camp at night but he doesn’t die because
Shiva accepts this as a good sacrifice, so now Ashwatthaman can attack the
Draupadi’s sons
****Again, Draupadi wants vengeance even though Krishna points out
other wives and mothers lost their sons and husbands, she at least hasn’t lost
her husbands. So she asks for Ash’s family jewels.
Blind Rajah Dhrit smashing clay Bhima is funny to picture
Bhishma finally passes on the summer solstice and when all visit
the water, Ganga cries but Krishna tells her not to sorrow for he lived a full
life and is happy in heaven. She should know this, she is a goddess.
****How did the Brahma weapon held by Ashh kill Uttara’s baby in
the womb?
****Land of women warriors on Arjuna’s adventure with the horse
for the Ashwemeda, Arjuna just made peace even though their Raj detained the
horse…They should be offended. Story?
****Hmmm, Arjuna’s other son, Babhruvahana, kills Arjuna because
he doesn’t believe he’s his son and they have to fight because of the horse
thing. However, he travels to the Nagas and gets a jewel to restore his life.
****The horse sacrifice is pretty fancy and can be expanded
****The gold mongoose, Yudi’s gifts of gold and wealth were not
the same of the last bits of food the Brahmin shared with the hidden Dharma.
What would have been?
****Peeps in the city of Dwaraka – no drinking wine! The one night
party led to death and destruction!
****Balarama – World serpent
****Krishna is cousins to the Pandavas!!! His dad and Queen Kunti
are siblings – finally figured it out.
****Awe, I teared up when the hound ended up being Dharma. Just
the fact that Yudi wouldn’t leave him because he was his faithful friend on the
way up the mountain made me smile.
Wow! Yudi still had to endure a test, like he was in the
underworld. In the end it sounded like if you atone for your sins, you can
still attain heaven.
Final note: Glad this one is over. I liked the story, dislike so
many different characters, and the battle was too long and boring.
