This week, we read about the Pandava's exile into the forest. Once again Krishna Dharma's version of the epic is a lot more eloquent and detailed than R.K. Narayan's version. One thing that makes Dharma's version so great is that there seems to be a lot more detailed of dialogue. For example, the cries of the villagers when Yudhistera left was quite dramatic and I think it relates great to what has happened with the events that were going on. Also, the detail that it was the Sun God who gave the copper plate to Yudhistera is really neat as well.
Furthermore, the anger and anxiety that Dhasaratha felt and his accusation of VIdura's bias with the Pandavas is very well portrayed. The epic almost reads a lot more like a novel and it makes it really interesting to read and experience.
