Reading Notes: Mahabharata PDE Part C

Pandavas go into exile again after losing the gambling match. There were good and bad things about exile. Arjuna goes on adventures to get the weapons that the Pandavas will need. Arjuna then had a vision and got a new bow. Arjuna lived in Indra's city for 5 years where he trained. The Pandavas saved Duryodhana and they were nice to him afterwards even though they were in exile. Karna and Arjuna become rivals. Karana loses his invincibility but he gains the ability to kill a strong foe. Yudhishthira answered some riddles. 

The Pandavas hid for their 13th year of exile otherwise they would have to spend another 12 in exile. The exile ended and a war with the Kauravas was about to start. Krishna, however, tried to have peace. Karna discovers the Pandavas are his brothers. However, he does not betray the Kauravas. Arjuna does not want to fight but he does. 

Answering riddles
