Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata Part A

The book that I choose to write my notes is on PDE Mahabharata: The Sons of Pandu.  From reading part A, I took notes on chapter 9 and 10.  Chapter 9 is called Pandu and His Wives and 10 are chapter name is Sons of Pandu.  In chapter nine my favorite parts are when King Pandu met with misfortune in the jungle while hunting for deer. He shot the Brahmin and his wife because he thought the Brahmin and his wife were deer but they weren’t.  When the Brahmin was on his last breath he cursed King Pandu that he will die in the arms of one of his wives. That really shocked the King Pandu and was stricken with fear; so he immediately decides to give whatever he had to the Brahmin and went to live in a solitary place with his two wives.

From the chapter 10, my favorite part was when they introduce the Pandu sons because they were not his son but the sons of gods. The first son is Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma (justice), the second son is Bhima, the son of Vayu (wind), the third son is Arjuna, the son of Indra (king of heaven), and last two sons are twins Nakula and Sahadeva, sons of Madri. The last son Kunti had is called Karna, he is the son of a sun god. He wasn't mentioned as one of the five Pandava because he was abandoned because Kunti accidentally used one of her son’s boons. Another one of my favorite parts of this chapter is when King Pandu died the way the Brahmin told him the way he would meet his end. And it happens out of nowhere because one day he met his favorite wife Madri and wandered together in a forest as soon as he fell into her arms he was dead.

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
