Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata Part D


Pandavas attended Swayamvar as Brahmins. In order to win they had to lift this bow and then hit a fish in the eye. Arjun went up and got the bow and hit the eye easily. Everyone was shocked since no warrior could do this before him. 

Draupadi insulted Karna. Said he would never be with a princess nor was he worthy of being a king. Krishna attended but did not participate. He was happy that Arjun hit the eye of the fish and was set to marry Draupadi. 

Kunti thought her sons brought food and said that whatever her sons brought they soon share equally. The brothers brought in Draupadi. Kunti said they should all be her husbands. The Pandavas return home and the eldest his proclaimed king. Krishna comes with the Pandavas.


People came to Indraprstha and left the kingdom of Hastinapur. Yudhisthir gave people mansions. They said it was an amazing city. This made the Kaurvas very upset. 

                                                        
Arjun left after going into his brother’s room with his wife. He did this to help a Brahmin. His brother said he did not have to go but he still went instead. He was a noble person. He sacrificed his safety and life for someone else. He then still goes through with the penance even though he does not have to.  He went with Brahmins to the Himalayas.
