Week 6 Reading Diary A

  • Post the dice game: Duryodhana, Shakuni and Karna are angry about the Pandavas' departure.  
  • Duryodhana is furious and wants a rematch. (This is where gambling gets the best of Duryodhana) 
  • Against his mother's wishes, he sends out another invitation for the dice game and Yudhishthira accepts (How does this change the aspect for the rest of the book).  
  • This time he would be sent thirteen years of exile: twelve years in poverty, followed by one year in disguise. (This kind of confused me a little bit, because if HYudhishthira loses than the Pandavas have to abide by those rules) 
  •  Yudhishthira loses, and the Pandavas go into exile. (How will the Pandavas handle being exiled, will they conform to nature, or adjust to their surroundings). 

  • Krishna tells Yudhishthira that Duryodhana and his allies will be punished. (this part of the book confused me a little bit) 
  •  Draupadi criticizes Yudhishthira for being so willing to forgive their enemies, (could this be a turning point for Yudhishthira) 
  •  Vyasa promises that Yudhishthira that all his enemies will be slain in battle. 
  • Yudhishthira decides to learn mantra which makes it possible to get weapons from the gods. (How does Mantra help Yudhishthira. Is he starting to feel regretful?)
