Week 7 Reading Notes: Narayan's Mahabharata, Part D


  • Bhima tricks Drona into thinking his son, Ashwatthaman, is dead. Drona is then extremely distraught and ends up being killed. It could be interesting to write about Drona's thoughts while he's paralyzed with despair--thinking about his worst fears and his anguish. 
  • After the battle, Dhritarashtra is grieving and wants to kill Bhima. Krishna makes a metal statue and puts it in place of Bhima. 
  • At the end, Yudhishthira goes to Bhishma and gets information about being a king. 
  • Krishna's people get into a civil war and end up destroyed. 
  • Krishna is murdered by a hunter who things Krishna's feet are birds. 
  • There wasn't much in this half that I'd want to write about, but I do like the above points. It feels like they could be details in other stories I write for my storybook (or details from the story I will write this week).
