PDE Version of the story
I wonder if these similarities to Rama are on purpose or just a cultural trope used in story telling, or if it is a cultural trope in story telling because of Rama.
"It is not easy to confine the waters once the damn hath burst" So true... so true...
I'm noticing a very heavy story telling importance on weapons of the heroes. This isn't really unusual, but other religious texts don't normally do that as much as comic books do.
I wonder if they were always called the Himalayas or if the author of these PDE versions of the stories decided to change it to the modern day name.
A cross over from Hanuman, how could this story get any better!?!
Why does he discourse on the duties of the different casts though? It almost feels like the writer just wanted to add a sentence, "And he was a very classist person" But thought better of it at the last moment.
Duryodhana honestly has plenty of reasons to dislike the Pandavas considering how often he is humiliated in front of them. Although in this case, being saved by the Pandavas is a tiny bit better than being a prisoner for forever.
It is interesting how easily Duryodhana was willing to deny his vow, even if it was one of suicide. Rama sure as hell would have found some technicality around it rather than just disobeying it, truly Duryodhana is the villain.
This invincible dart is not at all worth Karna's armor. Especially since it can only be used in a time of true peril.
Rest in piece poor impatient Nakula.
Well I had no chance to solve most of those riddles, they were a bit culturally specific...
I like how most all of the Pandavas just straight up die here, but they are resurrected by the end of the chapter.
Poor Draupadi. She really has a rough time of it.
Krishna is trying his best to make peace, too bad that would be far less interesting epic.
