Reading Notes: Mahabharata, Part C

I have read part C of The Mahabharata. These are my notes.

 PDE Version of Mahabharata


  • Part C 
    • Bhima and Hanuman, by John Mandeville Macfie found in The Mahabharata, A Summary
      • In this episode, Bhima runs into the long living  monkey, Hanuman.
      • Hanuman and Bhima are actually brothers.
      • Hanuman ends up giving Bhima wise advice.
      • There was mild action.
      • It was written in paragraph format and completely in third person.
    • The Court of King Virata, by Donald A. Mackenzie found in Indian Myth and Legend
      • The five kings and their queen were sentenced to hide in plain sight for the last year of their exile.
      • If they got caught, they had twelve more years in exile.
      • There was mild action.
      • It was written mostly in third person and in a paragraph layout.
      • I found this episode super interesting. What a weird request?
    • Krishna and His Army, by Annie Besant found in The Story of the Great War
      • Krishna agreed to help Arjuna and Duryodhana.
      • Arjuna chose to have Krishna's personal help, which left Duryodhana with the help of Krishna's army.
      • I would claim there was medium action in this episode.
      • It was written nearly half in first person and half in third person.
      • It was in a paragraph format.
      • The below picture is of Krishna and Arjuna.
