Week 13 Reading Part B

I read Dharma's version of The Mahabharata where Dṛṣṭadyumna chastises the Pandava brothers. Arjuna is really sad that so many people are dying but Dṛṣṭadyumna puts some sense into him by letting them know all the bad that Drona has done. The passage is really great because it goes into depth with the moral argument of fighting. I'm not sure if Dṛṣṭadyumna really made an appearance in Narayan's version but this was great! Also he reminds Arjuna of how Abhimonyu died.

  1. Hi Albert! Thank you for sharing your reading with us. What a gruesome story but also filled with so much suspense and detail! I think it is really interesting to disect how the fighting happened and what caused this to come to pass. Great thoughts and I hope you enjoy your summer!
