Week 12 Reading Diary B:

In part B of the week 12 reading we pick up with Arjuna and Urbashi. Urvashi is trying to woo Arjuna, however, he does not fall for her tap and she forces him to live for a year as a eunuch. Indra along with Chitraratha teach Arjuna music and dancing along with the use of divine weapons. Next we return to Yudhisthira and the Pandavas. Yudhisthira has a dream where the Pandavas are ased to leave the forest soon because they are scaring all the deer away. We then learn the story of Mankanaka and Shiva having to end his dancing to save the world. We then learn of Rishyashringa who was the son of Vibhandaka and the deer who had drank the sperm of Vibhandaka. Rishyashringa was growing antlers from his head. The Pandavas, meanwhile, left the forest and went on a journey to Mount Kailasa. However, they were attacked by the mountain when Yudhisthira disrupted the silence. Later on in the same place we see the Gandharvas attack. Duryodhana has to be reduced by Bhima and Arjuna. He is so embarrassed by this that he resolves to die until Kali encourages him to live. While in the woods the Pandavas are visited by Krishna and Vyasa. They tell them the love story of Savitri to please Draupadi.
