Reading Diary A (End of exile and beginning of War)

Buck's Mahabharata 
Pages: 191 – 246
  • Yudhishthira sends his brothers to fetch water from the lake and one by one each one of them go get water but none return. When he himself goes there, he figures out that he needs to answer the divine power's questions before getting the water. The divine power is Yama and eventually after answering the questions, Yudhishthira's four brothers are revived.
  • Indra and Karna have an exchange: Karna's armor and earrings for Indra's infallible throwing dart—which can only be used once.
  • Kichaka tries to get Draupadi who during their midnight rendezvous sends Bhima instead. Bhima then crushes Kichaka and kills him.
  • Now that Kichaka is dead, Duryodhana is planning the "cattle raid." 
    • Arjuna helps Prince Uttara fight against Duryodhana though he attempted to run away at first.
    • After the batter, Arjuna and the princess Uttarra get married.
  • Bhima and Krishna have a little bit of an argument about the battle that is to come with the Pandavas versus the Kauravas.
  • Arjuna chooses Krishna to fight for their side and Duryodhana chooses the thousand men.
  • Krishna asks Karna one last time to join the Pandavas, his brothers, but Karna refuses.
