It's interesting some of the structural similarities between this story and the previous book we read. Just as Rama had to exile himself to the forests so to do the pandavas.
Huh, so apparently Rakshasi can be not all that bad. Today I learned. I'll definitely use this in one of my stories.
So Brihma just appears whenever he is needed? That's actually quite cool.
The concept of a sacrificial ritual having to be performed to bring about the birth of a child is very poetic in nature.
I don't fully understand why the Pandava must hide if they are more powerful than their enemies.
I think its kinda hilarious that they are switching up the gender numbers in the Pandavas somewhat mistaken marriage.
How did any of them think that this marriage was going to work!
I like the second telling of Arjuna and CHita better because it is a bit more humorous.
I kinda thought they were going to find a way out of the whole five husbands one wife thing but I guess that's just here to stay, huh?
This story is so much more political than the previous tale. i wonder if that has something to do with it supposedly being originally told by a monarch.
Hold on a second while I look up what Parcheesi is....
