Reading Notes: Mahabharata (PDE) Part D

Story: Part D of the Mahabharata by Arnold, Besant, Devee, Dutt, Ganguli, Kincaid, Macfie, Mackenzie, Nivedita, Seeger, and Tagore.

Plot Points
  • Battle lasts many days till Bhishma can no longer fight and then Karna comes to the battlefield. At the end of the battle many sons are dead and there are many who mourn. 
  • The Pandavas took the kingdom but at a high cost and Yudhishthira decides on a horse sacrifice to get rid of his sins.
  • Elders who survived the war (king and queen etc) go to live in the jungle, visit the dead from the river when the Pandavas visit but then die in a fire. 
  • Krishna dies and then the Pandavas with their wife travel to leave the mortal world as well. Yudhishthira falls last and sees horrors before being reunited with his family.
