Reading Notes : Mahabharata, Part C

- Duryodhana begins to fight with Pandavas
- Gods favor Pandavas greatly, sending gandharva to fight Duryodhana to prevent him from humiliating the Pandavas
- As I read more into Mahabharata, my feelings for Pandava brothers change. I don't know if they will make a good protagonist since they can't catch a deer and dies from drinking water because Nakula, Sahadeva, Arjuna, and Bhima did not heed the lakes warning
- Because the gods were on their side, the Pandava brothers comes back to life and recieves gift for their 13 year exile
- Kichaka tries to sexually assault Draupadi, so Bhima kills him.
- Susharman attempts to steal Virata's cattle after the death of their general, Kichaka.
- Susharman successfully captures King Virata, but Bhima captures Susharman instead and frees Virata.
- Karna fights with Arjuna and loses.
- Uttara and Abhimanyu gets married since King Virata finds out that Pandavas were in his court.
- Pandavas requests half of the Duryodhana's lands and prepares for war
- Krishna fights with Pandavas while Krishna's army fights with Duryodhana.
