Duryhodhana
finds out that Pandavas is still alive. Bhishma encourages Dhritarashtra to
make peace, but Karna calls Bhishman and Vidura traitors to the state for their
advice.
The
Pandavas are the 5 sons of Pandu and his two wives Kunti and Madri. They were
all married to the same woman, although they each had other wives also.
Dhritarashtra gives the Pandavas a part of his kingdom and
the pandavas end up creating an incredible kingdom / city called Indraprastha (p.
41).
Yudhishthira = the son of Kunti and Yama. He becomes king of
Indraprastha.
Shakuni urges Duryodhana to leave the Pandavas alone but
he can’t.
Fast
forward to page 55 – Shakuni goes to play dice in place of
Duryodhana. Yudhishthira loses EVERYTHING. He lost his brothers and himself and
Draupadi.
The stake on the second game of dice is thirteen years in
exile. It is divided up into twelve years in poverty and one year in disguise.
Yudhishthira loses, and the Pandavas enter into exile.
