Week 13, Reading Diary B: The Battle

Vyasa goes to Hastinapur to warn Dhritarashtra of the bad omens but the king says he has no control over his sons. Amba was rejected by Bhisma, and her lover. She goes into the forest where she makes a bow and arrow and Shiva gives her a cloth to tie around the arrow and when she shoots it she dies. Drupada has a daughter to trades genders with Sthuna, who is then cursed. Yudhishthira bows down and asks if anyone comes to join his sides then they are welcome. Bhishma is really good on the battle field until he was pierced with a bunch of arrows. He chooses to pass away on winter solstice. Arjuna kills Jayadratha and throws his head onto his father’s laps. Drona is killed when he is devastated after hearing his son is dead. Karna’s chariot gets stuck in the ground and Arjuna kills Karna. Pandavs go to the lake to confront Duryodhana.
