Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata, Part B

Bibliography: PDE Mahabharata

The House of Fire
This is one of the first times that a “lowly” individual has been considered competent
Story telling- The royal family pays the miner
Story telling- Purochana succeeded
Bhima and Hidimba
Oh come on she’s offering to help you out
Bhima and Hidimbi
The concept of strength at twilight is really interesting
Story telling- the demons are only strong at incredibly certain points during the day
Bhima and Baka
Much Brahmin very wow
Birth of Draupadi
Story telling- the princes are the one’s referred to as “slender-waisted”
Draupadi's Swayamwara
A bow? Where have we heard that before?
Story telling- rank doesn’t matter
Wife of the Five Pandavas
Why is everyone so bound to the things they say?
Indraprastha
Story telling- this city is taken over
Arjuna and Ulupi
How exhausting that must have been for all the husbands to have all those restrictions
What? That child was sudden.
Arjuna and the Apsaras
MORE RANDOM MAGICAL POWERS.
Story telling- the alligator is a guy and they fall in love
Story telling- Arjuna didn’t get the magical power from the water nymph and dies
Arjuna and Chitra
Arjuna just keeps having children.
Arjuna and Subhadra
Story telling- Subhadra and Draupadi fall in love
