Week 12, Reading Diary B: Pandavs and Other Things

Urvashi curses Arjun to be a eunuch for a year, which will be the thirteenth year of Arjun’s exile. Mankanaka cannot stop dancing, if he continues to dance then the earth may be destroyed so Shiv goes to stop him. Once he realizes a god has come he stops dancing. Rishyashringa was a child of Vibhandaka. Vibhandaka saw Urvashi showering and he got excited and came in the lake where a deer drunk the sperm and got pregnant. The kid married a rakshasa and lived with her in the palace. Pandavs leave the forest and go to mount Kaliasa where Draupadi wants a white lotus. Bhima finally gets it for her after dealing with Hanuman. Gandharvas attack Duryodhana and lock him up, but with Arjun’s request he is set free. Krishna and Vyasa go visit the brothers where they tell them the love story of Savitri and how he gave up half her days on earth to give to her husband.

  1. Hey Soham! Seeing as I have already read and commented on your introduction, I decided to see what method you use in your reading diary posts. As anyone who visits my blog can see, I tend to craft very long, sarcastic reading diary posts. Your short, to-the-point, and factual reading diaries are at the extreme other end of the spectrum, and I totally respect your ability to be so concise. I only wish I could do the same, haha.
