Bird's Epics of India

Bhima vs Hidimbi Brother Source

Let's start this off with a tbh, I had to skip through part of the gambling because I couldn't stand him looking like a fool betting everything away. One thing I think about is what Arjuna was thinking before he went off to go search for weapons. Was he just bored and wanted to seek adventure? Those rakshasas in the forest were outright weird looking. Then Hidimbi turns into a beautiful woman which is pretty cool for Bhima. This fight between Hidimbi  brother and Bhima was the funniest thing. When Hidimbi brother starts throwing water at Bhima, I started cracking up laughing. You can see that here.

I don't know if I just forgot this or what but I don't remember this part in the reading: Duryodhana uses supernatural powers to see exactly where Arjuna is. Then it's weird when Arjuna figures out and starts talking back. I wish we could have seen Indra and gone with Arjuna there to his father's home. Is there a reason Urvashi denied by Arjuna? I know he does a little explaining but why? At least the curse isn't some blood thirsty death curse. This lake one caught me off guard as the narrator was the voice in the lake. I need to go reread that story again even after I did the storytelling on it.
