Reading Notes: Narayan's Mahabharata Section B

Chapter 5

  • Dhritarashtra needs to grow a backbone
  • The rule that you can't intrude on whichever brother time with the wife is stupid
    • Example A: 
      • Arjuna had urgent business with his brother and was exiled just for trying to do his job
Chapter 6
  • Duryodhana should focus on making his kingdom better instead of trying to ruin his cousins' kingdom out of jealousy
Chapter 7
  • When you have to explain how what you're doing isn't actually cheating . . . it's probably cheating

Chapter 8
  • At least Draupadi is standing up for herself

Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off.
