Reading Notes: Naryan's Mahabharata Part A
The reading I am doing writing notes over is the Narayan’s Mahabharata
Part A. For this week’s reading I really found the section “The escape from the
fire” very interesting, and would make a good topic for a possible new story. In
this section Dhritarashtra has made Yudhishthira his heir, but he does not like
his heirs popularity. Duryodhana
and his brothers are not very popular with those of Pandavas. Purochana who is an agent of Duryodhana builds a house of “joy”
for Pandavas. The house was made of very flammable material to make it very
easy to catch on fire. Then pandavas set fire to the house and escaped through a
tunnel, but everyone around thinks he has died. The Plot I could use for this
story is escaping a trap people do not realize you know of, and then living in
hiding.
