Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata Part D

The book that I choose to write my notes is on Public Domain Edition Mahabharata.  From reading part D, I took notes on chapter 66 and chapter 67. Chapter 66 is called Bhima and Duhshasana. This chapter is all about Bhima killing Dushshasana and drinking his blood. Because during the event where Draupadi was shamed in front of everybody by Dushshasana in the gambling hall and at that time Bhima made a promise in front of everyone that he would drink Dushshasana blood after killing him to quench his thirst for revenge. My favorite part of this chapter is Dushshasana got what he deserved because people should forcefully try to take off any women clothes in front of everyone but at the end, Krishna saved her so and because of that Bhima vows to kill him on the battlefield and drink his blood. That was a nice plot because if you want to survive in this world you have to be cruel to your enemy so they can’t stand up anymore.

The second chapter that I took notes on is chapter 67 and its name is Arjuna and Karna. This chapter is about the fight of Arjuna and Karna because they vow to kill each other on the battlefield to see who is the best archer in the whole world. My best part of the chapter is when Arjuna was to shoot arrow to helpless enemy Karna but then Krishna tells Karna all the sin that he and his friend Kauravas did and Krishna said, “O Karna, thou speakest truly, but was it manly to shoot arrows at Arjuna whilst he engaged himself restringing his bow? Was it manly to scoff at Draupadi when she was put to shame before elders and princes in the gambling hall? Was it manly of thee and six warriors to surround Abhimanyu so as to murder him without compassion?" After hearing what Krishna said to Karna, Arjuna killed Karna without hesitation.

Story: Parvati Heroic feat.

It was chaos on the Earth because Demons were running rampant on the Earth for past hundred years. So Goddess Parvati decides to reincarnate with the mortal body on Earth so she could end the evil. She was foreseen that the Earth was going to be in grave danger in the future. She decided to get born in a small village on Earth where she will wait for right time to come to kill the demon called Mahishasura and when she also decided to get born with no memories of her being Parvati and just normal mortal girl and she did that for a special reason. Mahishasura was the demon king at that time and he was part demon and part bull. He was also a big devotee of God of Creation Brahma. Mahishasura meditated for thousands of years so he could please God of Creation Brahma. His motive for doing that was so that he could gain power and immortality. After such a long penance Lord Brahma was pleased and presented in front of him and asked him for any boon that he desires. Mahishasura asked for
