Reading Notes Part B
"Bhisma vs Arjuna" Source: Wiki Commons
- The five pandava brother finish their exile and must live the 13th year in disguise
- Kichaka tries to rape Draupadi and Bhima destroys him
- This story has changed my perspective, Bhima is now my favorite character
- There is a chariot battle including Prince Uttara
- The Pandavas win and Dury wants them to have another 12 years of exile
- Reading this has also changed my opinion on the brothers, now I am on the Pandavas side
- The two sides agree to go to war
- The Kuavara side is much bigger
- Arjuna basically kills Bhishma but the goddess saves his death until the solstice
- Drona is killed by Draupadi's brother
- With Karna commanding the army, him and Bhima finally battle
- Bhima kills Karna after his chariot gets stuck and drinks his blood as promised
- Duryodhana is a coward and hides in a lake
- Bhima breaks his leg
- The Kauvaras raid the camp at night killing everyone besides the Pandava brothers
- This seems like the only reason to raid the camp would be to kill the Pandava brothers..?
- All of the 100 brothers are dead
- Yudi becomes king and rules a great kingdom for many years
- Krishna becomes king and is cursed, he commands the people not to drink but they do and everyone kills each other
- The brothers grow old and are very weak
- They decided to leave and embark with only a dog
- On the journey to heaven all of the brothers die except Yudi
- He travels to hell and brings them all back to heaven including the Kauvaras and they all love each other
