Reading Notes: PDE Mahabharata (Part A)

This week, I started reading the PDE version of Mahabarata, which was fairly entertaining and similar to Ramayana in its storytelling prose. Instead of summarizing this part in this section as I have done in the past with my reading notes, I just want to highlight some storytelling potentials! Here are some ideas:

  • Elaborate on the birth of Davavrata from King Shantanu and Goddess Ganga
  • An unknown citizen's fascination with Arjuna and his strength as he hits ever target possible
    • Maybe make this a young child who wants to be like Arjuna when he grows up
  • Make a mashup between Rama and Arjuna, where they fight each other for fun
  • Dorona's inner thoughts as he is training the princes

Ganga, Devavrata, and Shantanu
