| Yudhistira is questioning meditating Krishna Image Source: Wikimedia |
- Krishna awakes to find the five Pandavas and Draupadi around him.
- He tells them that the world needs a king, and that happens to be Yudhishthira.
- Yudhishthira is very unsure about being the correct choice for king
- Duryodhana is being a hater
- He doesn't want his father to treat the Pandavas as his sons, for one of them might jump in line in front of him for the throne.
- King Dhritarashtra gives them a piece of the kingdom. Duryodhana is not happy about this. I'm sure his father will hear about this...
- Meanwhile, Yudhishthira is pleased, Bhima is pissed.
- Duryodhana throws a fit, declares war against the Pandavas.
- Bhishma agrees with what the King decided to do, but will end up siding with Dhritarashtra and his sons in the end.
- Duryodhana travels to the Pandava's kingdom; the crystal palace
- The reflective mirages around the palace cause him to stumble about, the Pandava's mock him
- Duryodhana is fueled by anger from the mockery and embarrassment he suffered
- Gandhari's brother, Shakuni, offers to play Yudhishthira in dice. He assures he will beat him and take everything from the Pandava's.
- Yudhishthira is apparently bad at gambling, but loves to do it anyway
- The Pandavas show up to the palace
- Yudhishthira does not do well at all. He bets everything he has
- Draupadi is the last thing to be gambled and lost.
- She is dragged to the main hall by her hair.
- Humiliated by the the court, she is about to be stripped of her garments
- As she is about to be stripped, she begs Krishna to help her, and her sari becomes never ending as it is torn off of her.
- Duryodhana keeps teasing her, asks her to choose a new husband, while baring his thigh.
- Draupadi "I will wash my hair in your (Duhshasana) blood, and Duryodhana will die from a blow to the thigh"
- King Dhritarashtra grants her two favors and she asks for her husbands freedom.
- Duryodhana urges his father to ask them to come back for a second game.
- The stakes:
- 12 years of exile in the forest
- And one year after that of exile in a city but they must not be seen, or else be subjected to yet another 12 years of exile in the forest
- Shakuni wins again. The Pandavas go into exile.
- Kunti stays behind
- Amba looks for Bhima during their exile.
- She asks Bhima to kill Bhishma. She blames him for the world rejecting her.
- "Hate keeps me young. I only live to kill Bhishma. I swore it, but all the men to whom I turn, even you Bhima, tell me he can't be killed. None the less, I will kill him"
- Arjuna leaves to find divine weapons,
- "Ever since childhood I have been marked for war..."
- Duhshasana has a bad dream about the vengeance that the Pandavas will seek.
- Duryodhana cannot strike now because of their exile.
- Hidimbi and Hidimba, rakashas, stumble across the Pandava camp. Hidimba asks his sister to bring him their corpses
- Hidimbi falls in love with Bhima and transforms into a beautiful human woman.
- Bhima kills her brother, Hidimba after he attacks
- May I add this part was VERY entertaining.
- Bhima and Hidimbi marry.
- They have a son, who leaves with Hidimbi to another world but promises to come back should Bhima ever need him.
- Bhima is found by Duryodhana in the forest.
- He finds the rest of the Pandavas
- Vyasa interferes in their attack.
- Vyasa suggests they go listen to stories during exile
- Vyasa sends Duryodhana back home.
- Boy asks Vyasa why he cannot stop the war, if he interfered here in this instance
- "There are some acts a word can check; others nothing can block
- Arjuna receives the Pashupata weapon from a hunter he met on his journey.
- This hunter is actually Shiva and he appears in his true form to Arjuna. Arjuna worships him.
- Duryodhana sees this all happening using powers, he is afraid, because Arjuna has this weapon from Shiva.
- Urvashi meets Arjuna in the mountain and tries to seduce him; he refuses
- She is offended and curses him
- Women will see him as a eunuch
- Karna is cursed by Parashurama, who had given him Pashupata.
- He is cursed because he denied being a warrior (kshatriya)
- He is found out when a worm burrows into Karna's thigh and he does not cry out.
